Enhanced Web Admin

[UncleJohnsBand]

I finally got webadmin to work for my installation, and it is really really sharp interface.

I would like to know if there is any actual work is being done to stream your recordings or may be live tv, so I can select different quality level.

I have friend who has MythTV installed in one of the Linux distribution, he can select the different frame-rate and bits/sec, so he can stream recorded tv to his PC at work from home. Typically upload bandwidth on broadband connections are not that high to support boradcast quality video streaming from home.

If you are on home LAN, you can select higher quality rate on your laptop or computer in other room to view the recordings.

Any ideas on how to accomplish that.

Keep up the good work.

Rob....if you are referring to actual streaming as in a streaming server nothing is being developed to my knowledge.

If you are just wondering about being able to view your recorded shows you should be able to just click on the Play Program button under the Manage Recordings Tab. Please note....you must use VLC as your player....Windows Media player will not allow a partial stream....VLC does. You are correct....viewing from outside your LAN is conditional on you broadband upload speed.

You could setup VLC on your GBPVR server and use VLC as the stream server. Not sure what all is involved in that but I am sure you could find what you need to do on the VLC website.

I periodically use VLC to stream (push) a recording over to my laptop. You have to run VLC on the server and select wizard option, browse for the recording, enter destination IP and TTL and then run VLC client on your client and open http network stream.

All a bit of a hassle really but (even now that I am on wireless g) many of my recording stutter if I simply select "play" from webadmin.

The ideal solution would be if selecting "play" kicks off some server-side code to tell VLC to stream the recording.

Not exactly integrated, but possibly could be. There is a free Streaming Media server called Unreal Media Server.

I was thinking about more integrated with Web Admin.

Ideally, it will have tab for streaming with several options such as frame rate, TTL, and different bit rate, and it will envoke VLC on the background to stream all your recorded program anywhere on the planet that you have access to your webserver.

Anyway, Enhanced Web Admin is really sharp interface. Great work.

The first post in this thread should point to http://gbpvr.com/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Utili...edWebAdmin not the old Wiki - I don't know if this can this be updated? I just did a round about trip to get to the right page..Just my 2c.

Thanks for an excellent extension to GBPVR. I have a suggestion: can you add a link to the music library Album view - play that can send a m3u playlist (Probably need to set a configurable string to pre-pend each entry. eg //jukebox/music/artist/album/xxx.mp3 for unc and z:/music/artist/album/xxx.mp3 for a mapped drive or even add streaming prefix...) So I can browse to an album and then play or enqueue it?

Another thought: the album art is only viewable from the track level. I would like if possible to see it from the directory above ie at Album name level. My mp3 library is sorted on disk as genre/artist/album/tracks, I think this is a fairly common way to store mp3's

This project can replace the MVP emulators out there! Much more portable than an emulator too, will run on Linux, Mac - anything with a half decent multimedia enabled browser...Did I say phone?

ahh, yes. I found it now. I'll have to look and see how/if there's an interface to do it.

Hi Norman, Your quote above was in response to soemone asking for you to look into adding a feature to select the 'number of refordings to keep' just like is available in the gbpvr gui.

Have you had a chance to look into this for release 29? If not would you mind if I had a shot at adding it?

Thanks for your time.

Hi

Just install Ehanced Web Admin build 28. Like the Music Library and video library. I've noticed that it doesn't seem to handle network drives. Although I wonder if this is an XP quirk, as in I doubt the user account that GBPVR is running under would have access to network resources.


Also a little while back I asked about getting mouseover description boxes. Is this something likely to be looked at, or has it been discarded?

If you change the account for the GBPVR service to one with network access, it will work for you.

You need to enter the network drive UNC directly into the config.xml since GBPVR won't let you enter it via the congig interface.
