Aximmetry Eye App Unexpected Error Connection Iphone/Aximmetry PC

 

Hello,

I am trying in vain to connect the Aximmetry Eye app to my desktop Aximmetry PC.

I have installed the app and entered the correct IP address of the computer.

The app then loads for about 10 seconds until the error appears every time: “Error - An unexpected error occured during Aximmetry communication”.

I have already checked and tried the following: - correct IP address - router configuration - WIan / Ethernet connection - Aximmetry software started (2024.1). Unfortunately without success so far.

What is also noticeable is that if the network connection (cable/wifi) is interrupted, the error occurs immediately when “Connect” is pressed. If the connection is correct, it at least tries to connect for a while.

Is there a setting that I may have forgotten? Does the software (Studio version) have to be started or configured? Hope for support.

Regards Sebastian

I had the same problem. Did you get it solved?

Sadly not. Checked everything (firewall, ip, router config, wifi, ethernet cable)

Hi,

Please ensure you download the latest version of Aximmetry Eye, version 1.0(20). Aximmetry 2024.1 is compatible only with this version or later ones.

In Aximmetry Composer, there is no need for any setup. Aximmetry Eye will automatically be recognized as an input and output option once it is connected. However, in the Broadcast version, you should verify that the option Preferences > HTTP Control > Enable HTTP control is enabled.

For more information read our documentation on Aximmetry Eye here: https://aximmetry.com/learn/virtual-production-workflow/preparation-of-the-production-environment-phase-i/starting-with-aximmetry/aximmetry-eye/what-is-aximmetry-eye-and-how-to-use-it/

Warmest regards,

Thank you for your feedback.

Both the app and the software (Studio version) are up to date.

App version 1.0 (24) and Aximmetry version 2024.1. 


The error still exists.


Please help.

Does Aximmetry need to be open on the PC for the connection?

Hi DaSchuh,

Yes, for Aximmetry Eye to run without errors, Aximmetry Composer needs to be open and actively running on your PC.

By running, I am referring to the step beyond simply launching the application. Specifically, you must progress past the Composer Startup Configuration window:
Aximmetry Eye App Unexpected Error Connection Iphone/Aximmetry PC
You won't even see Aximmetry Eye as a 
Video Output Device in the Composer Startup Configuration.

Instead, if you intend to set Aximmetry Eye as a Video Output Device, you can do so within the Edit > Video Outputs window found in the actively running Composer:
Aximmetry Eye App Unexpected Error Connection Iphone/Aximmetry PC

Please let us know if this advice resolves your issue.

Warmest regards,

I opened Aximmetry and pressed Start.


Unfortunately, the error still occurs.


Do I possibly need an NDI? (I only have the Studio version).

How can I add Aximmetry Eye to Video Outputs?

Hi,

It will work with the Studio version, there are no license limitations.

Aximmetry Eye does not use the NDI feature or protocol, it uses SRT.
Therefore, when you open the Video Outputs:
Aximmetry Eye App Unexpected Error Connection Iphone/Aximmetry PC
You should expect to see the Aximmetry Eye displayed like this:
Aximmetry Eye App Unexpected Error Connection Iphone/Aximmetry PC
Note, again that this is not the Composer Startup Configuration window.
Also, ensure that the Aximmetry Eye is connected to your PC's IP address before you open the Video Outputs window and the Receive Preview Stream is turned on.

Warmest regards,

Unfortunately, there is still no connection between the app and PC. There is always an “unexpected error”. What else can I do?

I'm having the same issue. IP connectivity is working. I can't see any video from the iPhone into Aximmetry

Hi,

DaSchuh and Cp2carello, I recommend reinstalling the Aximmetry Eye app on your device. Additionally, please ensure that you have granted all the permissions it requests. For instance, the permission to search for and connect to devices on available networks must be enabled.

When you launch Aximmetry Eye, do you see your computer listed in the Available Machines list? Note that Aximmetry must be actively running on your PC to appear in this list:


You can also try connecting through a different router to see if that helps.

If the problem continues, could you please provide us with the model of the iOS device you are using, as well as the version of the iOS operating system? This information might help us identify the cause of the issue.


Cp2carello, does the error message "Error - An unexpected error occurred during Aximmetry communication" appear for you after the app has been loading for about 10 seconds?

Warmest regards,

Thank you for your help. 


I have now discovered the source of the error!


In the wifi/network settings of the Iphone there are the following settings => WLAN => <your WLAN> info => private WLAN address


This changing MAC address (useful for data protection reasons in public WLANs) must be switched off! 


Now the connection finally works and I get to the next menu of Aximmetry Eye!


I hope I can help others with this ;)

Hi DaSchuh,

Are you sure this setting caused the "Error - An unexpected error occurred during Aximmetry communication"?

If that's the case, your network router or a firewall on your computer may have rules in place to quarantine new devices based on their MAC address.

Warmest regards,

Hi, yes I'm pretty sure that this setting caused the error (at least it finally worked after that). In my router the devices are assigned to the normal IP addresses. But what else is noticeable. In the Aximmetry Eye app, no devices are displayed for me to select. I have to enter the IP manually.
