Enhanced Web Admin

give it a day, and it'll all start working magically.

I am trying to set up web access to GBPVR. (Hope I am posting in the right area?)

Everything works across my LAN but I can't get in from outside. I suspect it is a firewall problem.

I am using Sygate software firewall and have opened access to my work's firewall IP address to all ports. (apparently unsuccessfully.)

My ISP has provided a fixed IP address.

I am trying to use; http://IP.IP.IP.IP : port/gbpvr/index.aspx

Any idea's appreciated.

Do you have a router..?
If so you will have to setup port forwarding in your router.

[wannabepvr]

No router, USB (ADSL) modem
LAN is via crossover ethernet

You may still need to forward the port....I know when I setup remote desktop access for my neighbor and cousin I had to forward the port in the DSL Modem.

Even though it is a modem it also contains a router and it defaults the security settings to block most ports.

Who is your ISP?

They probably have info on their website for setting up port forwarding for things such as FTP and Remote Desktop. You can just follow those instuctions and replace the port number with the port number you are using on the web admin.

Also...you should be accessing with http://###.###.###:PORT/gbpvr/login.aspx

A couple requests:

For some reason, the back button in the channel column is really hosing up the works! Take a look at the attachments. IE and Firefox seem to be both broken. In IE, the double height title row really messes with the vertical breaks in the timeline as well.

To solve this, can you just remove the word "Channel" and then left-align the button? The text isn't necessary, and left-aligning the button would make it symmetrical with the right side. There's really no need for a title in that column, the numbers and call letters are pretty self explanatory...

VERY MINOR:
Also, the login button seems to have gotten out of whack somehow. It works, obviously, but the edges are not smooth like the other buttons. Looks like it got scaled up or smooshed out of its usual aspect ratio or something.

Thanks, I really really like the new features you've added... I appreciate your work. Just wanted to point out a few asthetics that I noticed...

Are you seeing the same behavoir in the other themes...such as the Blue or Gray theme?

[j3flight]

Yep, exactly the same (just tried it, using both browsers, gray and blue themes). Are you guys NOT seeing this?

Possible cause:
I had to do a copy "over top" of an existing web folder because some of the components seemed to be missing from the most recent zip. When I would drop in a fresh copy of the new release, GBPVR would launch the setup when started and add-to or replace a bunch of files in the web folder. I've never had that happen, usually I could erase the web folder and replace it with the new release. This was a fresh GBPVR install from a couple days before too...

Is it because the images structure changed and the .msi saw stuff was missing? I HATE that feature! =)

Yeah....I am seeing it as well....I just got used to seeing it and forgot it was there....we'll have to fix that.

As for the other item on the setup starting.....I think this is ocuring becuase the latest release of the Web Admin moved all the images into the individual themes....the image folder is now defunct. So if you do what I do and delete just about everything out the Web folder and then apply the new Web Admin release at some point (reboot or service restart) GBPVR senses that it is missing something in the Web folder and does a repair....this causes you to have to reinstall the new Web Admin since it overlays a bunch of files with older versions.

We will be sure to align sub's next release with one of these newer Web Admin release so that stops.

I figured that's what was happening.

So, I guess the only way to install a new web admin (at least until sub includes the new structure into an official release) is to drop the new web folder over top of the old one. In other words - DON'T replace it.

(Or, you might consider including the images folder - even though its useless - so people don't keep breaking their installations... until you can get sub to include your new structure.)

Thanks for looking into these for me...
