Desktop Gadget v1.2 Needs Fixing!

[Bobbybear]

After using NPVR v4 (Legacy) for a number of years I have just found time to update to v5 (web based) and am quite pleased.
It may take me a few more days to get used to the change.
The two problems I have is with the Desktop Gadget, I like to keep and eye on the recording schedule and recording status at a glance.
I installed v1.2 and if I want to show the channel logo's on the gadget when I paste the .html txt from the Wiki into the box on the Settings Schedule page it does not remember this text, only the first line.
The the gadget will not work and the only way to recover it is to uninstall it and then re-install and set it up again.
The second problem is if I click on the NPVR logo at the top of the gadget the resulting web page shows an Error!
It appears that whether you use your machines ip. address or localhost in the 'server' setting box on the setting 'General' tab the address returned is missing the '/index.html' at the end of the string
i.e. it returns
http://localhost:8866/
not
http://localhost:8866/index.html

It would be really nice if someone could fix this gadget please?

I am pretty sure any commands from NEWA for modifying the JavaScript will fail since the the web engine has changed and checking this is out of scope for my support. I won't be making any changes to allow downloading channel icons any time soon.

The documented start page doesn't have index.html so nothing is missing. Ensure that you have saved your web setting and any javascript blocks you have in place in your browser are not preventing the redirect. If this is impossible you should be able to edit the source JavaScript and edit npvr.js and change

System.Shell.execute("http://" + gServer + ":" + gPort, "");

to

System.Shell.execute("http://" + gServer + ":" + gPort +"/index.html, "");

It has been a bug with NextPVR v5 since the beginning that in some situations (I think that sub determined that it is mainly dependent upon the browser used and maybe the backend server type) you have to have the "/index.html" at the end of the URL to get to the NextPVR web interface. I know that with Chrome on all of my computers, I have to have it.

I'm guessing that your problem is your trying to enter multiple lines. It should all be one line.

Here's what I have for mine

Code:

"<div class='RecordingTitle'>" + rec.Title + "</div><div class='RecordingSub'>" + (isRecordingNow ? "-" + rec.Stop.format(gTimeFormat) : (date != today ? date : rec.Start.format(gTimeFormat))) + " " + rec.ChannelName + "</div>"

Well Guys
To. mvallevand: Unfortunately this mod to the java script did not help in fact it broke the gadget, I've had to revert to the original version, I'm using Brave and Script blocking is turned off..

To. BrettB: You were correct the .html text copied using the copy link in the wiki is multi line. Edited to a single line it works just fine.

Thanks for your help, one down one to go..

Your right I screwed up try

Code:

System.Shell.execute("http://" + gServer + ":" + gPort + "/index.html", "");
