Enhanced Web Admin

I gues its "if all else fail, read the instructions" for me
Thanks, I will test on W2K
I don't have a monitor, keyboard or mouse connected to my recording box......
Of course I do have VNC installed. Will use that when there's an errror.

In Win2k server and WinXP you can enable Remote Desktop, which is a lot faster than VNC. Alternativly install UltraVNC which has an extra driver that does a very similar job.

Normanr,

I tested your version 17 on W2K
Had to copy the recorderhelper stuff from the bin directory of version 16
The config-recorders.xml is read.
I can access the manage recordings tab.
When switching to the TV Guide tab I get an argument out of range in Guide.aspx.cs on this line
Line 291: programmeCell.ColumnSpan = (endMinutes - startMinutes) / guideParams.minuteSlice;
Reason is that the startTime for overlapping schedules can become larger then the end time so the timespan is negative, which is out of range.
Possible solution is to change line 274
if ((endMinutes - startMinutes) / guideParams.minuteSlice == 0) continue;

to
if ((endMinutes - startMinutes) / guideParams.minuteSlice <= 0) continue;

I also use UltraVNC,
I can not find the remote desktop server software for windows 2000, only the client.
Terminal server works and is fast, but I do not know how to connect to the session started at the boot of the computer.
Thanks again for all the good help

building the .zip's is a manual process, so it's prone to human error. I'm not phased becuase it's still 'testing'. (NOTE TO OTHERS: when build 17 breaks not finding RecorderHelper, go and get it from build 16, or from the softwarerecorder package)

I couldn't decide if i should change the programStartTime to never be bigger that the programme.endTime. In the end I've just changed the condition to < 1.

You'll need Win2k Server installed to be able to use Remote Desktop (It's at the bottom of add/remove windows components - called teminal services - run it in remote admin mode, not application mode. You also don't need to install the licences that way). Also I'm pretty sure that you can't connect to the console in Win2k. WinXP only supports console, where as with Win2003 you have to enable it on the remote desktop client's command line (mstsc /console).

I tested version 17 on W2K
Changing to "<1" works OK.

I tested with IE and Firefox
The language setting in the browser for changing the time format works if you only have one (non english) language)
If you have multiple languages including an english language and a non english as first preference the english output format is selected.

The trick to use web.config or system.config no longer works.

One question. Is it possible to use the advanced search page to set up a reoccurring search to record everything that matches the search? Or at least the word used in the search phrase? We have here a series where they put the subtitle in the title so I have to remember to select each episode

[normanr]

hrm, it should find the first match and then use that as the language. Check that maybe the browser is sending the languages in the right order. .Net does want the double barrel languages, so you HAVE to choose 'en-GB' or 'nl-NL', just 'en' or 'nl' will not work.

Hrm, I'm guessing that maybe the list ends up being in alphabetical order, which might explain why en is always being selected. (although i get my en-za over en-gb and en-uk)

unfortunatly the best you can do on the search page is to select all and record once from there. The season record is based on the programme title, and that's all taken care of in gbpvr (not the web admin). Check out the XRecord plugin and the CDKScheduler utility for that sort of functionality.

[erik]

You are great!
Double barrel works. There is no nl-NL in Firefox but nl-BE works even with the English on lower priority.
I will check out Xrecord and CDKScheduler

[normanr]

mmmm, this is one area where IE is easier to use *GASP* you can choose to enter you own custom code.

Luckily Firefox has the options we need, load up about:config, and edit the intl.accept_languages setting. Just add the locale you want to the front of the list and all is up and running.

normanr.....I am totally perplexed. I haven't tried using the streaming video for some time....so I was surprised today when I tried to use it it didn't load.

I was getting errors in VLC indicating it couldn't find the server....but I know it is...

I was running version 16 so I went back to the earliest version I knew that was working which was 11....this was when you first added it and it just passed the file name. The next version also worked where you switched to the M3U playlist.

So for simplicity I reloaded 11. The link that is passed back is pointing to the correct file. The id is 271....looking in the gbpvr.mdb file I confirmed that id 271 points to the correct file.

Now for the erorr.....Any ideas? :confused:

UncleJohnsBand: You're trying to play a recording that's greater than 2GB (the Int32 limit). This is fixed in build 18 already - I saw it first :-P
