Enhanced Web Admin

[Jams6502]

Hi

Is is possible to limit the maximum height of a row in the TV Guide part of Enhanced Web Admin ? I'm thinking of when a program takes up a small amount of horizontal space and so the text description runs to maybe 18 rows.

Is there a way of putting an upper limit on the length of the description, or limit the max number of lines for a row ?

Thanks
Jimmy

"Since Build 14 you can choose ‘autologin’ as your username"

Found it and working...

Under "manual recordings" there is a "play program" button, is there a way to change this link, i have my PVR behind a firewall and NAT running, this means i need this link to refer to a new location that will proxy over to the PVR box for me....

Many Thanks
Ashley

the link should autodetect the current location and use that.

Well see when you use a "proxy" its on a machine on the same network, then it forwards it to you, so it detects it as a local machine requesting the info.

Problem is its sending out a local IP address through a firewall so your never get the file as you cant connect to a local address, it needs to be public. Problem is the mahcine will NEVER work this out unless you are doing client side processing, but even that isnt working as its not going back through the proxy server, its going direct.

I have a feeling it would be easier to allow a "template" URL structure to be used instead, set it to "inteligent" then for use who need to change it for firewalls we can???

Many Thanks
Ashley

This should have been fixed since at least build 28. The download should generate a playlist as the _client_ expects it.

i.e. if you load http://some.host.here:7647/gbpvr/Guide.aspx then the playlist url's should always be http://some.host.here:7647/gbpvr/public/download.aspx?.....

Silly question time, is there a complete-ish change log available for the Enhanced Web admin? I looked at the wiki page and I couldn't find one.

Sure.....it's this thread.....

Probably not a bad idea to start one....it would make it a little easier to track the what's new/fixed for the releases.

normanr and I are working on some enhancements now that will be out in a couple of weeks. I'll talked to him and see if we can come up with something for this release.

In the meantime....here is a roundup from the thread:

03-26-2005 Build 10:
- Adjusted size of pop-up window for show details.

04-02-2005 Build 11:
- New play / watch / download link to access recorded programs across http. (open the url with VLC, don't let you browser download the mpeg file).
- New filter for manage recordings lets you filter on recording status.
- New search by channel option.
- Some fixes to make the guide more viewable on a low res screen.

04-04-2005 Build 12:
- Play / watch / download link now generates a playlist file (.m3u) that browsers can happily completely download. The playlist has a single item that points to the large recording.

04-17-2005 Build 14:
- secure url for playback, also you can now watch recording programs, but VLC does get confused, so be careful. I need to debug this more.
- repeat the time and back/next buttons headers.
- build version shows as tooltip when you hover over the main gb-pvr graphic
- if you change the username to 'autologin' (in the config tool) then you will not be asked for the password. just know that you're asking for trouble if you do this, anyone will be able to access your system without a password, make sure you have a firewall installed.

04-22-2005 Build 14b:
- The only change is that it's got the white tags removed as wake requested and I was going to update the wiki to reflect build 14, and figured since i had made the fix locally i could upload it too.

04-26-2005 Build 15:
- preview of how tabs are going to work, and how themes will be done. I plan to move all buttons etc, into template based style-sheets just like the 'Sliding Doors of CSS' menu.
- added erik's hide zero length fix.
- new logoff button for those who might need it
- new admin button that doesn't do anything yet :-)

04-27-2005 Build 16:
- some more attempts in getting buttons (now links) to be css only (more stuff based on 'Sliding Doors of CSS').
- you can configure some settings in config-recorders.xml
- favicon included in theme

05-08-2005 Build 17:
- load culture from browser request
- title and length info in the downloaded m3u file
- settings load better when the config-recorders file is missing
- added overlapping programs fix provided by erik
- removed some of the unused images

05-21-2005 Build 18:
- multiple overlapping programs fix
- fix for downloading recordings bigger than 2gb
- new deleted recording type in manage recording screen (not shown by default)
- cleaned up the login/logout/admin tab for stable release

05-30-2005 Build 19:
- There is a 0.91 and a 0.92 build: They both have the new Config tab, that read & writes the config-web.xml file (no more hidden options).
- Additionally the 0.92 build supports the display of 'deleted' scheduled recording correctly. Don't ask how you undelete them, I'm not quite sure. (sub may have added an API to do it, but I haven't looked)

07-08-2005 Build 20:
- Adds support for ZapTools information.

07-14-2005 Build 21:
- Adds more support for ZapTools information (Manage Recordings Page).

07-23-2005 Build 22:
- Fixes NullReference Exception Problem.

08-06-2005 Build 23:
- It has a fairly simple statistics page that includes: disk space reporting, scheduled recording status, capture source status, and a log file link.

08-07-2005 Build 24:
- Patch from UncleJohnsBand for default recording quality.
- Added space used by GB-PVR files in statistics.
- Added double-check when loading Config settings (this might fix the css bug)

08-09-2005 Build 25:
- Patch from UncleJohnsBand for ZapTool AO Rating.
- Fail gracefully if statistics fail to load.

08-21-2005 Build 26:
- Fixes trace bug.

09-28-2005 Build 27:
- Fixes Capture Source status for new version of GB-PVR (thanks to sub)
- Adds EPG Remaining indicator (thanks to UncleJohnsBand)

10-05-2005 Build 28:
- Manage recordings page now sorts (thanks to UncleJohnsBand)
- Added Video and Music Library (with album art)
- Added Transcoding status (thanks to cubsfan)
- You can now watch Timeshifted LiveTV via the web interface

I finally got webadmin to work for my installation, and it is really really sharp interface.

I would like to know if there is any actual work is being done to stream your recordings or may be live tv, so I can select different quality level.

I have friend who has MythTV installed in one of the Linux distribution, he can select the different frame-rate and bits/sec, so he can stream recorded tv to his PC at work from home. Typically upload bandwidth on broadband connections are not that high to support boradcast quality video streaming from home.

If you are on home LAN, you can select higher quality rate on your laptop or computer in other room to view the recordings.

Any ideas on how to accomplish that.

Keep up the good work.
