Enhanced Web Admin

[UncleJohnsBand]

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.

If you are using a current release of the EWA then there should be a download button under the play button in the Video Manager tab.

What's the naming convention of the icons?... 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)

The naming convention used is the same as the channels e.g HGTV channel icon is named HGTV.gif etc...

Any thoughts on what else it could be?

PM me a couple of your icons.

As requested.. well almost as I didn't know how to attach a file to the PM

Ok....it doesn't show up in mine either as is.....however changing the name to match the channel number made it work. So instead of Spike.gif I made it 34 Spike.gif and it showed up fine.

Try putting the channel number and a space before the channel name on a few of your graphic files and see if that works.

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!

I agree....this would be a nice feature....it should support either a single ip or an ip range. When I access my system from work I will connect with one of 3 different ip ranges.

That was it Thanks again my friend

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)

Currently the code is pulling the channel number and the name....at least that what get returned on this method call on my machine.

string channelIcon = GetChannelIcon(channel.getName());

Here's the 'entire' code that we started with (sub's comment afaik):

Code:

string channelName = channel.getName();
if (channelName.StartsWith(channel.getChannelNumber().ToString())) // cosmetic stuff for my american friends
{
   channelName = channelName.Substring(channel.getChannelNumber().ToString().Length);
}
string chnl = channel.getChannelNumber().ToString();
string channelIcon = GetChannelIcon(chnl + channelName);

I then changed it to:

Code:

string channelIcon = GetChannelIcon(channel.getName());

because my channel icons are named exactly with the channel name (i.e. no number).

I assumed that Lee's icons were named with <number><name> because he was going to the effort of adding them back together after the number was stripped off. Which meant that it worked for UJB and myself.

I'm not sure what the naming convention that sub looks for in the main GB-PVR app. If the main app is plainly looking for names with and without the channel number, then that seems to be the easiest way to fix this.

Adding a long list of things to scan for won't slow the guide down, once we start caching the results. (which I have planned anyways)

I have read and re-read the posts and tried port forwarding and setting my pc as a dmz server but I still get the error message "invalid user name or password" when I try to login to the web app remotely via the login page.
Also tried setting the mtu on the router as low as possible 650? - I've currently set it back to 1500
I've set up port forwarding on port 7647 (Router asks for a range but i've just entered 7647 for both values). I'am running win xp - no software firewall is enabled - only the router firewall.

If I set the username to "autologin" I can get in no problem.But I'am concerned this is not very secure and would prefer to login using the user name and password.

Can anyone suggest how i can get this to work? I'am using the web admin built into gbpvr v 0.95.16.
