Enhanced Web Admin

Sorry if this is a x-post to

, but sub mentioned I should ask here.

What I would like to do is change the Quality Settings of Pending recordings in WebAdmin. Apologies if this has been asked before, I did check the WebAdmin section of the wiki and searched on "pending recording" and "quality settings" but no joy.

Apart from cancelling the scheduled show and re-scheduling it, is there currently any (simple) way of changing the quality setting (e.g. from med to high) of one (or even ALL at once, or ticked selections) of my PENDING recordings?

If not, it'd be a great feature for me, some shows I record to watch at home, then decided I would like to watch through the now functioning webstreamer, so quality doesn't need to be as good as I initially programmed, and vice versa.

djtaylor mentioned to do it through the Access Database and while I could do this once or twice, it's not really a long term solution to easily swap between settings.

Ta!

The EWA does not currently support the modifying of already scheduled programs. I have added it to the list.

I could very well be wrong, but in my opinion it would be wise to record high quality allways. When you use webstreamer you should have good quality and then stream/compress it. When you stream a lower quality recording it would come out even lower quality.

Cheers HtV, I think you are correct with teh streaming thingy, but one thing I didn't mention is that I am also testing my rather weak PIII system to see if it can cope with recording and playing High Quality, so this would allow easy swapping of settings back and forth.

I think this could be automated by the frontend for you, yea.

That would be awesome normanr.

This doesn't pertain to the enhanced web admin necessarily but figured someone might know zero byte files are created in the gbpvr directory with the shows that you have recorded as the name of the file?

cubsfan - start the question in a new thread, include your capture sources, and windows setup, etc. edit you post, and link to the question.

Hi all, finally got EWA working Using Apache, deleted web folder as per wiki, only to find I needed the dlls to get it to work, lol. Unfortuantly I have a couple of problems and hoping someone can help

Problem 1 is that EWA is showing recordings I set via GBPVR as red, and I can cancel them through EWA. However, I am unable to set new recordings. I click a program, popup appears, I click "Record This Episode" and the TV listing page refreshes, but the program isn't shown in red or listed in the "Manage Recordings" :confused:

Problem 2 is that fairly often I get a page which shows this:

[SIZE="2"]Server Error in '/gbpvr' Application.

Unspecified error
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Data.OleDb.OleDbException: Unspecified error

Source Error:

Line 51:
Line 52: OleDbConnection checkZapConnection = new OleDbConnection(databaseConnectionString);
Line 53: checkZapConnection.Open();
Line 54:
Line 55: // create the command object and store the sql query

Source File: C:\Program Files\devnz\gbpvr\web\ZapTools.cs Line: 53 [/SIZE]

The only way I can resolve it is to restart the Apache service, which obviously isn't always an option if I'm accessing remotely. Any thoughts on whats causing this??

Any ideas gratefully received, and keep up the excellent work

Look at this post. It may be the same issue. If you have loaded ZapTools and do not run the update to load data into the zapdata.mdb file you can get this error. If you do not want any of the extra data in the web admin that zaptools can provide then just remove the zapdata.mdb file from the gbpvr directory. If it is not there the EWA will not try to open it.

Let me know if this resolves the issue.

I am not certain about this one.....I am not familiar with Apache so there isn't much I can offer....I am sure it is probably something simple.
