I'm trying to get the voxwav microphone android app to work on my Nexus 7. I read all the posts and tried them all to no avail, still Network error message.
Can't find a simple direction on how to get this going. This is my last gasp before I give up. Seems like it sure is difficult to get a grip on this especially with no guide. So if someone would be so kind as to help with some simple easy to follow directions I would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hi RVB, welcome to the forum.
The VoxWav app is still very new and largely under development. Hopefully one day I will be able to devise a method that is a bit more foolproof. We have not put together a comprehensive guide yet. There is no "simple" explanation because it is not simple to set up, especially if you do not have much network experience. Kalle has done a pretty good guide though and I suggest you try that:
http://voxcommando.com/forum/index.php?topic=873.msg7172#msg7172If that doesn't work you need to give us more information, so we can help you.
- What version of VoxWave are you using?
- What version of VoxCommando ? (ok not really relevant as this point but it's always best to include this info just in case)
- What
exactly is the network error that you are getting? There are different messages you can get that will give us a clue as to the problem.
- If you access your network share from another computer on the network, what is the full path as seen in the address bar? for example it will be something like this...
\\bigpc\myshare\mywavfolder
- If you access this folder from another computer on the network, using the same user account that you are using with VoxWav, can you create files and folders within the share? It is important to verify that you have write access to the folder.
Are you sharing this folder using an account with a password, or creating a share for "everyone"?
What network settings did you enter into the VoxWav samba configuration for:
Host:
path:
Username:
Password:
Obviously you don't need to tell us your password, but we need to know if you are using one. If you are not 100% of the IP address of the host you can enter the name of the host, or you can use ping to get the IP. From the command line in windows type ping myhostname and it will come back with the ip address.
Please provide as much information as possible or we won't be able to offer you any useful advise. Answer all these questions and anything else you think might be relevant.
Sorry it is not easier to set up at this point, but we have to start somewhere. It is actually pretty simple to set up if you "know what you are doing", but I guess that is true of most things.
