Enhanced Web Admin

[UncleJohnsBand]

The problem is that those interfaces are pretty low level interfaces tied directly to GBPVR and aren't abstracted really to their functionality. I was thinking of interfaces that worked something like the following:

public bool Once(Program programObject)

public bool ThisTimeSlot(Program programObject)

public bool AnyTimeSlot(Program programObject)

public bool ThisDayOnly(Program programObject)

public bool AnyDay(Program programObject)

public bool SpecificDays(Program programObject, IList DaysOfWeek)

Then within these methods would be the specific code for each scheduler to implement. This allows for the pages to remain the same, and is up to each scheduler to implement the correct interface to the back end system. The program object should contain all the necessary information needed for the type of scheduling being choosen. It keeps the GBPVR specific information out of it, and abstracts it to the task that is trying to be accomplished.

Plus this should make standardizing the coding for scheduling across the different pages more efficient, as the code for actually scheduling is implemented in one place and updates to one will propogate to the others. Right now the Search and the Scheduling pages use different code to schedule a recording.

I think I could toy around with this idea....it won't be in the next release though.....I just shipped the updated code to have the next release put out so that people can start using the new scheduling features and genre filtering that I added...I wouldn't want to hold that up....people have been waiting patiently...

If I have questions I'll PM you...

No problem. I'm holding off on updating for a few more days.

Is there a quick how-to for embedding the web interface into IIS6? I read the topics, created a virtual site, but all I get is errors, like:

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Could not use ''; file already in use.

Source Error:


Line 32: lock (typeof(ScheduleHelper))
Line 33: {
Line 34: ScheduleHelper.getInstance().LoadRecordingSchedule();
Line 35: }
Line 36: }

If you want to use IIS as the engine for the Web Admin, then migrate to using MSDE (SQL Server) as the database store. There's a thread somewhere in these forums on how to do it.

Can I ask for a small feature? Can you include the version number on one of the pages so I know what I have installed?

1. What version is included in gbpvr 0.96.12?

2. What is the latest version released?

Thanks,
Greg

hover over the GB-PVR logo
1. build 30
2. build 31
build 32 should be out very soon, I'm currently reviewing the patches sent me by UJB, and then I'll put out a release.

Agreed, during the review of the patches I noticed that these pages are so similar that the code duplication is a joke.

You naming convention doesn't work very well, because some of those states can overlap. I think that some sort of 'recording request' object might be the best option here.

I have this almost complete....

Is it just me or does the web admin fail to report conflicts?

I tried to schedule something and it didn't paint the box red as normal and it took me a while and a bit of digging around to discover that it was because there was a scheduling conflict.

Unless i'm doing something wrong, it would be nice to have a conflict resolution option or even a dialog telling me that it can't schedule due to a conflict rather than just doing nothing.

I noticed this as well. It just does not do anything if the schedule causes a conflict.
