Is it possible to interact with the recording service directly?

[Stuart Brierley]

I've just installed GBPVR with a Hauppauge Nova-T. It works very well. Much better than then Pinnacle Mediacenter rubbish I tried a while back and have since discarded.

However, I never watch any TV on the PC. Instead I just use it for recording and I watch the recordings through a Pinnacle Showcenter (which is actually a very good product).

I want to write some php pages for the showcenter so I can set recordings via the showcenter's interface (something I should have been able to do with the Mediacenter). Is it possible to add these recordings to the GBPVR recording service without using the GBPVR interface?

Thanks,

Stuart.

I do exactly what you do, record only. I can't really help since I don't know of anyway... BUT there is the GB-PVR web service that you can enable in the Misc tab of the config but this has never worked for me.

I get Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application. all the time, but have not been that fussed to follow it up or try and see what the problem is.

You're likely to be entering the wrong URL. It should be http://localhost:7647/gbpvr/index.aspx

You see, if I looked I probaly would have found that :p

You specfically not redirect the / root or do you have a reason for not doing so? security maybe? (ie. does it only work for local host?)
edit: well I checked, and it seems only to work for localhost, assuming I didnt do something wrong with my iptables config. Any chance of getting an allow external hosts option?

For Chenko,

In you www browser change localhost to the IP address of your pvr machine for www access from another machine.
