Enhanced Web Admin

[UncleJohnsBand]

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.

This is on the lit of things to do on the wiki....

BTW I love this interface.

I don't know if its possible....

but at the mo we can have user authentication or autologin.

What I would like is the option. so if it comes from one IP then it asks for authentication. if from another IP no authentication. This would be perfect so that I don't have to sign on when in my house (internal network), but externally (ie at work, via firewall) I would need to authenticate. Maybe using different ports.. this way I can use port redirection on my firewall.

Ot maybe it can already be done... and I haven't found it yet.

I know that normanr has mentioned that this is on his list to do....I didn't see it on the wiki so I did add it just so it is tracked.

build 32 has escaped:

- UncleJohnsBand: Added ability to record shows from the Guide and Search using completely configurable options.
- UncleJohnsBand: Updated channel icon logic so that icons show whether the icon filename starts with the channel number or not.
- UncleJohnsBand: Genre is now pulled from the GBPVR database rather than ZapTools in the guide.
- UncleJohnsBand: Modified search to use the Genre that are stored in GBPVR database and expanded filter to include all Genres.
- UncleJohnsBand: Added ability to filter the Guide by Genre.
- UncleJohnsBand and NormanR: Move Scheduling code into seperate layer.
- NormanR: Made channel icons detection dynamic, and cache results.
- NormanR: Update favicon.

Forgot to mention that this probably is very much an alpha build - it means there could be extra bugs, but that's okay, because we have you guys to find them :p

How about an option for favorite channels? I would love to have my local network affiliates (NBC,CBS,ABC,Fox) always at the top of the list since I tend to schedule the most recordings from these 4. It would make conflict resolution easier as well.

I noticed that using the latest release of gbpvr that the webadmin bombs when I click on the statistics tab (after a pause). Here is the displayed error. I can view the recording of Adaptation from the recording tab, so I am wondering if it could be something as strange as the inclusion of a period in the title?

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file "Adaptation.".

Source Error:

Added to the list on the wiki.

I installed bld 32 and have a few comments.

- Filtering by Genre is a neat feature! When filtering by genre, it leaves lots of empty boxes in the grid where there is no match. This makes for tedious scrolling. I like how TitanTV does their filtering, where they suppress rows that don't have a hit over the span in display.

- The IMDB link made me gasp. Awesome!

- What is the purpose of the diplaying of
"Type : System.Collections.ArrayList" in the listing?

- When I clicked on a movie (while filtering by genre) to record, it created an episode search (makes sense, so I can see them all), but when I recorded it, I didn't go back to where I was in the TV Guide. I filter by genre, roll across a week and mark ones I want to record and then I want to keep going from there to finish the week. Could you open the episode search in a window so I don't lose my place in the guide? (I found I can cheat and right click on the movie link and use Firefox's 'open in a new window' option where I can schedule it. Then I close that window and refresh the guide window to be sure it took.)

- When I first go to the Guide tab, it makes the table too wide for the browser window (horizontal scroll bar appears). If I filter on a genre, the redrawn grid fits the browser. I have it set for 180 minute span, FWIW.

- Where will the 'repeat' indicator appear?

- It would be nice, if Zap2It has provided it, to see the year of the movie so I can decide which one to pick from IMDB if there are multiple movies

Simple feature request. Could you make it so that in the Config tab, I can choose what other tabs I want to be available? I don't use GBPVR for Music, so I would like a config option to hide tabs I don't use.

Thanks,
Greg
