Q2: How can I buy subscription for other person?

You can purchase gift cards from from Apple or from Google and provide them to your customers so they could use them for monthly or yearly subscription.

If you subscribed on iPhone or iPad but still have limitations, please make sure that your subscription process was completed by the ‘All set’ message.

  Постоянный
  Реп: ( 1 )

  Не совсем понял что делает эта программа.
  К примеру у меня есть смартфон в котором есть радио. В другом смартфоне его нет. И я хочу передать аудио со смартфона с радио на смартфон без радио. И воспроизвести на втором к примеру с помощью VLC по протоколу rtsp.
  На первом смартфоне я соответственно включил точку доступа, второй к нему подключил по WiFi.
  На первом создал к примеру трансляцию аудио rtsp://localhost:5000
  На втором в VLC rtsp://192.168.43.42:5000
  VLC сругнулся и ничего не включилось.
  Что я не так делаю?
  Аудио я так понял с микрофона только можно отправлять? 🙁
