Enhanced Web Admin

[turkey]

There is no reason why you can login using autologin and not with a password. So, my guess is that you are not entering the correct username and password. Try resetting both the login name and password to something really simple like "1" and "1" in the config utility just to make sure you dont have problem with that.

Is it possible that the client you're using doesn't support javascript properly? The login page has to encode your password with a hash value so that no one can record your login session and discover your password. If the hashed password is missing (or the usernames don't match) then the login will fail.

Yes it could be a javascript setting I need to adjust. The problem manifests itself on my work PC which is running win2k and has IE 6.0 browser and on my PDA which runs embedded linux with a cut down version of both the Opera and Konqueror browser - (strange, as both browsers support javascript).
I've used a similar sort of password encoding on the login page of a site I built in the past. Seen in the forum that other people have had some success with the firefox browser so I might give this a go as well.
Will report back on how I get on. I'am keen to get this working on the PDA so I set recordings and check on the outside of the house using the security cam plugin when on holiday in spain - marginally more interesting than just the pda to check my email!

I setup the EWA on my system today with what I think was build 26 (whatever comes with the current download of 95.16). Played around for a bit and tried streaming a clip (small one for testing) to a remote machine. It didn't work. I either get a valid HTTP RESPONSE 200 message or error syncing to mpeg.

So I decided to try build 31. No problems installing (ok small ones but nothign to bother you guys with) and tried again. Same thing. So I thought I would wait till I got home to try it locally on the network. Still no go.

I'm using Winamp 5.12 as the player.

Any suggestions on where to look?

I got this in my log a couple times but it isn't consistently dumping this on a failed stream so I'm not sure its related:

I also got this on my most recent attempt (from the local network):

Any ideas?

I think you may have to use VLC to watch from the web admin.

[volksman]

works like a charm with VLC...thanks man!!!!

I'm able to stream to my pocket PC with Tcpmp media player (Free) and Nero on other PC from EWA. I Have problems steaming video to the pocket PC. The files are too high in bit rate, but the music play just find.

i was reading the download.aspx.cs and saw this..
// Moonlight encoder default is VBR with an average of 0.4MBps, and max of 0.9MBps.
// The maximum rate possible that Moonlight supports is 1.5MBps.
is Moonlight encoder being used in there somwhere? are there any settings adjustable?
i have the enocder installed, will it automatically use it?
what's different about the play button vs. download?
man,you've really brought this interface along rather nicely...
also hoping web streamer will be integrated sometime soon...
[even if nothing more than a button to get to the page]
and are there any skins yet?
edit: ahh found the skins,cool!
would still love to find out more about the download.aspx.cs tho

[normanr]

There's no encoder being used by the web-interface, those are comments on the fact that all downloads are rate-limited so that players like mediaplayer and winamp don't abuse the CPU and bandwidth whenever they stream video - i.e. making sure the PVR stays responsive during recordings. (unlike VLC which works properly)

The encoder is used by the WDM recorder plugin, but there's absolutely no re-encoding fuctionality in the web admin at this time. To add re-encoding really changes the 'web admin' to more of a full 'web interface'.

Play will give you a 'playlist' file (normally .m3u) which you can open with VLC (or winamp if you insist) and then it'll start playing the download file directly. The download button will try and download the file directly in your browser. These give a very light weight web streaming functionality (i.e. no re-encoding, etc).

UJB has very graciously spent time putting together the sample skins (I suck at any design). I did a lot of work making skins possible, and I'm hoping that people putting together the frontend skins will start creating skins for the web-interface too.

Hi everyone !
I'm developping a simple WAP (for mobile phones) version of Web Admin.

For now, this version allows to record from a start time to a end time for a given channel.

It works great except that I would like to avoid (for test purposes only) the login screen which causes problems on the mobile phone browser. That screen appears when I try to reach my http://ip:port/gbpvr/wap.aspx page.
Could you give me a advice ?

As another question I would also like to know if it's normal that the records correctly schedule when my asp.net pages are in the gbpvr/web/ folder and are not working when those same pages are in my wwwroot folder, even if I've the GBPVR.Public.dll and GBPVR.Backend.common.dll and GBPVRRecordingService.exe in the bin directory of my asp.net project ?

Thanks for anyone that could help me !

Good work you're doing here.
