GetServerTime errors when working via web interface

[Flash_]

I just downloaded and re-installed the ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 from the microsoft website to my GBPVR server. You can find the download here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/detai...laylang=en

Thanks for this - just done the same and poof - errors gone!

(Vista x64 - was happening pretty much every time I hit search on EWA)

Instead of turning off the services, how much trouble would it be to add a section of text next to the server time which would simply spell out the same error, in red maybe. I don't know the programming required to do that, but it would seem easier to see a text error within the webpage rather than click through many dialog boxes.

Captureing and displaying the error would require programming and the dialog that occurs is handled totally by the browser itslef.

Since an error is an error and the issue is really the host GBPVR server it is more effective to lallow those users that have this issue to turn off the real-time ajax server calls.

Any ajax server calls that are added in the future will also be turned on/off by the new setting. Trapping the error and displaying it would require programming every time any ajax server call was added.

Yep...some sort of server issue you are seeing...simply go to that URL that you are getting a 404 (not found).....and it is there....for some reason some people are experiencing this type of isssue.

Look at services on machine via:

http://GBPVRServer:7647/gbpvr/Ajaxservice.asmx

If you do it on the local host machine you should even be able to test the service.

When I open this page, the following is displayed:

Code:

Ajax_Calls

The following operations are supported. For a formal definition, please review the Service Description.

    * GetReminders

    * GetServerTime

    * GetStreamerStatus

This web service is using http://tempuri.org/ as its default namespace.
Recommendation: Change the default namespace before the XML Web service is made public.

Each XML Web service needs a unique namespace in order for client applications to distinguish it from other services on the Web. http://tempuri.org/ is available for XML Web services that are under development, but published XML Web services should use a more permanent namespace.

Your XML Web service should be identified by a namespace that you control. For example, you can use your company's Internet domain name as part of the namespace. Although many XML Web service namespaces look like URLs, they need not point to actual resources on the Web. (XML Web service namespaces are URIs.)

For XML Web services creating using ASP.NET, the default namespace can be changed using the WebService attribute's Namespace property. The WebService attribute is an attribute applied to the class that contains the XML Web service methods. Below is a code example that sets the namespace to "http://microsoft.com/webservices/":

C#

[WebService(Namespace="http://microsoft.com/webservices/")]
public class MyWebService {
    // implementation
}

Visual Basic

<WebService(Namespace:="http://microsoft.com/webservices/")> Public Class MyWebService
    ' implementation
End Class

C++

[WebService(Namespace="http://microsoft.com/webservices/")]
public ref class MyWebService {
    // implementation
};

For more details on XML namespaces, see the W3C recommendation on Namespaces in XML.

For more details on WSDL, see the WSDL Specification.

For more details on URIs, see RFC 2396.

Is it possible that the version of EWA included with GB-PVR 1.3.11 includes code that was meant only for use on the developer's machine? Or, is there some setting on my machine that needs changing?

Nope...that is what you should be seeing.....that is the page that the Ajax calls are made too and when you access without making a method call that is the page that should be displayed.

What are you looking for specifically?

Is this fixed in the newest version or is there a way to turn off these ajax calls yet?

I just installed 1.4.7 and I'm getting the occasional getservertime error message.

Thanks

No need to turn them off. Here is the fix. If the call fails for any reason (like the recording service being stopped), you will get the following displayed:

"Server Time: Unknown" and "Could not retrieve reminders"

The messages will appear in the page where the Server Time and Reminders normally appear.

Just replace the web\public\Ajax.js and web\public\Ajax2.js with the ones from the attached zip.

I modified the files from Build 82.
