Enhanced Web Admin

[dreed47]

What version of the Web Admin are you using...the most current is 29.3. I do not see this behavoir happening in this version.

Thanks UncleJohnsBand. You're right, I was running an older version. Would there be a way to show the version number through the web interface? Also showing the version number for GB-PVR itself would be really usefull.

If you hover your mouse over the GBPVR logo in the upper left corner of the pages you should see the version info appear.

awsome!....Thanks!

Or a suggestion, use the search episode, just choose the single channel. It doesn't just show 24 hours though but everything for that channel.

Great idea! That hadn't occurred to me. I'd still like to be able to get there from the program guides though.

The ability to click on a channel in the guide and transfer auto-magically to search page with a completed search for the selected channel has been added for the next release.

I have another small request for the web admin.

Sometimes i use this as a music player when at a friends house as streaming music works perfectly through Windows Media Player. If they want some of my tracks i have to download each individually, would it be possible to add a button to 'download album' as well as play?

Im sure theres loads more potential with music as it can be streamed anywhere and i like the idea of being able to play and access my whole music collection fom anywhere.

4. You can't watch live TV through the interface but you can start a recording from the TV Guide and then start to watch the show. This works well as a poormans "Live TV" through the web interface but the only drawback is that the show is recorded and now must be deleted. Could an option be added to watch a live show and then delete the recording behind the scenes?

This one has been discussed in the past....the Web Admin is just that....an interface for administering the recordings within GBPVR. The functionality that you mention above is the closest you will get for streaming with the Web Admin. KingArgyle recommended (and I belive it is a good option for those looking for streaming capabilities) to use the Open Source streaming pacakge Unreal Media Server.

If someone else is already watching timeshifted TV then you can piggy back on top of it by clicking the entry on the statistics page, but there's no way to start of change what's going on because there's no API for it. Also there's no seeking because the file keeps growing in size, and vlc stops at the end of the file. (so it's either seek or keep watching)

As what? A zip file?

[stu8080]

Could be a zip file (can mp3's be compressed much more?), could be simply one track after another to the specified directory. I dont know what complications there are in implementing this?

I was very surprised how well this worked, and was impressed with 75kb/s download speed given my awful wireless internet connection.

[normanr]

mmm, you basically want an easy way to 'string' a bunch of files together so you can download them in one go? The only way I can think of doing this is by zipping or tarring them. I'm sure it's possible to set zip to store and not bother to compress the files.

[stu8080]

If its straight forward i think it could be handy.
