Enhanced Web Admin

[UncleJohnsBand]

There are already a lot of features I don't use in the EWA like streaming video, and music. I just use it to search for episodes (the original enhancement I added to EWA), and manage/schedule recordings, so in some ways the added functionality that is already there is more complex than I need it, but others use it.

I still think a plugin type system would allow others to enhance the functionality with out over complicating the actual web admin itself. I have no problem with writing seperate pages for the features I want, but it would be nice to be able to turn off and on features from with in the configuration option so that you only get the subset of features you need. It would be nice to be able to easily add other features without making them have to be included with the base distribution.

Yea.....I think if it is setup in a way that when you select to use CDK scheduler instead of the native scheduler you show a different tab or tabs to support its functionality/configuration. If the CDK page(s) control the configuratuon of CDK you could insert an if/else in the current guide to call the CDK specific scheduling code if it is enabled. I wouldn't want to duplicate a CDK Guide page itself....that would be silly....

You will also need to make sure to use the styles for look/feel.

Yeah, I was planning on using the existing style sheets. When I get something put together I'll post a beta to this thread.

I can't seem to get the icons to show and I have the option ticked off in the config page of the web admin. My icons are stored in the folder
...\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\media\ChannelLogos and they show up fine in the TV guide etc.

Any thoughts on what the problem is? I checked the logs and found nothing.

Thanks,

Are you seeing broken icon links or just channel numbers in text format?

Just numbers in text format

What's the naming convention of the icons? I had to tweak the detection to find my icons, but I'd expected it to be backwards compatable (and certaily UJB didn't complain).

I'm not sure what method sub uses, but I just use the 'channel Name' directly. (This is not what shows on the guide, because numbers are stripped if the channel number matches the start of the channelName)

hi,
- sorry to butt in - but I have a question and this seems like the correct thread!
I have just tried the web interface at home after getting my GBPVR PC in its final location, and it works fine. ( I think I have about the latest version of GBPVR installed)
If if set the username to "autologon" I can access the web interface from my pc at work ok however if I set it back to "admin" the logon page just times out after I enter my password. Any idea what I need to tweak to get this to work with a proper username and password? I would rather not use "autologon" as I dont think its secure. Note this is the standard web interface that comes with GBPVR - I have not installed the very latest enhanced web interface.

This is very cool, however I can't get streaming to work over here as VLC just doesn't work with my colleges proxy, neither does Winamp =/ (I'm beginning to think I have the password wrong), so is there any way to directly download the MPG files instead of having them streamed?

Still, very nice work on this, I look forward to being able to set up recordings through the web interface etc.

hrm, admin should not timeout. I have seen some odd MTU issues that cause the web admin to 'hang'.

On the selective autologin idea I have had thoughts of enabling it by ip ranges, i.e. all local machines can login without password, but remote machines should login with a password. (of course the list of ranges would be configurable via the web interface).

ip range selection would be a great feature. Right now i use a firewall to block the web admin port when i dont want to use it, but it would be better if gbpvr did this automatically. No one should be using the autologin if they are not on a local computer!
