iStopMotion (v 3.8b2) crashes with iPhone 6 as video source

iStopMotion for Mac
#1

The situation:

  • I’m using my iPhone 6 as a video source (running iStopCamera v 3.0)
  • I’m using my MacBook Pro (OS 10.11.4) running iStopMotion v 3.8b2)
  • Both my iPhone and MacBook are both connected to my home wifi
  • I attempt to record a simple video
  • iStopMotion crashes after a seemingly arbitrary number of recorded frames

What I’ve done to troubleshoot:

  • Quit both programs
  • Restart my MacBook Pro
  • Tweak the preset and framerate settings in iStopMotion
  • Reset my wireless router
  • Install and run SandboxCleaner

Absolutely nothing is working! I’m very disappointed. A cursory google search turns up a number of complaints regarding crash issues with no obvious solution. This issue is making it simply impossible to use iStopMotion.

Is there a workaround for this problem? Are others encountering it?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

You are not alone! iPhone remote, iPad remote, MacBook Pro, Mac Mini all combinations with the desktop Version – adhoc network etc. nothing helps. BOINX should fix this SOON!

This is terrible! I’ve submitted tickets asking for a solution or a refund and have not heard back. Has anyone asked for or received a refund yet because of this issue? This product is not delivering the services advertised and is definitely not what it purports to be and not what I agreed to purchase.

Bump. Is there an admin out there in the ether that can get back to me or respond to the multiple tickets I submitted on 4/16/16 and 4/17/16 regarding this issue?

At this point, I am requesting a refund on this purchase. This software is unusable as it is, and again, it is not what it purports to be and not what I agreed to purchase. Simply, it is failing to deliver on the services promised. I hope we can resolve this soon, as I do not wish to escalate this issue further by filing a chargeback with my credit card company.

So do I. I will block the paypal transaction if we can not get a fix in the next three days!

BUMP

Hello, is there an admin out there who can help? If I don’t hear back from someone about this issue by 16 May 2016 (one month since I submitted my help request), I will file a chargeback with my credit card company.

Please contact me regarding a refund as soon as you can. This is simply terrible customer service. I suppose I can attempt to contact someone at your company through your Facebook page.

Same experience with an iPhone 6s – very disappointing.
