jeffatwork Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Running 3.0.0.562836 and unable to get app to launch. Will not connect to Director. I've confirmed the IP Address and can ping with no issues. I'm using a 64-bit Surface Pro with Windows 10 Pro. I've uninstalled "Adobe Air" and "Adobe Flash Player" and "Control4 for PC-Mac", rebooted and reinstalled all three but still have no luck. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

LollerAgent Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 There is no PC/Mac app for OS3. You'll need to emulate the Android app using something like BlueStacks. msgreenf 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueStacks is an Android emulator. It allows you to run Android apps (the C4 app) on your PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyknight Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Keep in mind that because of how BlueStacks runs, the C4 app isn't running on your local network, so 4Sight is required to make this work - but it works very well otherwise.

thegizzard Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Bluestacks works, but I am not on 4sight. I used to be able to VPN into my home network to use the C4 app, this doesnt work any more. Anyone find a way to make Bluestacks work without 4sight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyknight Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 You can't - because it's how bluestacks operates (it emulates it's won network). There is another emulator available that does NOT do that I think I heard does work, but the name escapes me at the moment. If I come across it I'll post it. thegizzard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, define free - you pay for it in game adds that pop-up on the load screen and their recommended games to earn extra bluestack points etc. But yeah it's a pretty nice piece of work for no 'cash' cost.

I'm no expert on Bluestacks, but I did notice that my C4 app shows local connection and the 10.x address of my controller. I can also pull up chrome and access 10.x addresses. I looked no further, but that seems to show it's capable of accessing the local net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it can access the local net - if it couldn't somehow access it, you'd not be able to connect at all. The point is that bluestacks is operating on it's own generated IP address so the app sees it as 'not on the same network' - so it triggers the remote connection setup (which then requires 4Sight). The only thing I can think of, is is there is some way to load a VPN app onto bluestack, set it up back to the router and use that....but I've no clue if, or how well, that would work (as I literally just thought of that).

Well if bluestacks does what a lot of OS emulators do, it's probably just doing a NAT on it's address. In theory C4 app shouldn't know if its local or remote, not sure but thought 4sight is used when the local is unreachable. A good example is on my iPhone if it's on wifi shows LOCAL, on 4g shows remote. I understand the your logic. But my C4 app says local Connected (LOCAL) with bluestacks.. I assumed that mean not using a 4sight connection. Same deal if you use Parallels.....you can connect to a local directory even though parallels uses an internal address vs the network's block.
