Enhanced Web Admin

[gkreis]

The IP ranges are in the standard CIDR format. It accepts either CIDR or netmask (so for example 192.168.0.0/24 is the same as 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0).

/100 is an invalid range, so that's what's causing it to break. If you want to include 0-255, then change the reange to be a /24.

Doh! That was it. I forgot that I hadn't fixed that change I had made. Bld 34 held my feet to the fire.... ;-) What was strange is that reinstalling bld 33 didn't fix it. Anyway, I edited the config-web.xml file and all is well.

Thanks.

P.S.
Any idea why Firefox (1.5.0.1) won't ask me to store the username and password for the config page? I looked and you haven't enabled the HTML tag to deny it. I bet it is because you are using javascript to submit the form, right?

P.P.S.
Does webadmin use a webserver built into .net? I am wondering about the security of it, as far as exposing it to the net through my firewall. I get really leery of that sort of thing and haven't done it yet with any services.

I was wondering if it was possible to search genre's without entering a keyword? I'd like to see every show of a selected genre that is in my guide. I can't seem to get it to search unless I enter something in the keyword field.

The new build (34) fixes several problems. Thank you!

Are you saying that nothing comes back when you do an episode search and only select a Genre?

your use of "keyword" has me confused...I am not sure what that is unless you mean the search phrase on the episode search tab.

I have no problems just entering a Gener with nothing in the search phrase field and getting results. Try something that should have a lot of results such as sitcom.

I belive that the web server is the casini server....perhaps some old timer can verify this assumption.

I have mine exposed to the outside....just poke a hole in the firewall on your local machine for the port you are running on....set your router to forward that port on incomming traffic to your PC that is hosting the server and presto....you have access from outside.

And with normanr's latest enhancement you don't have to log in from inside the house but when you come in from outside your local network you are going to have to log in.

If you want to lock it down even more you could invest in a firewall that only permits traffic over the port if it is coming from a particular IP.....of course then you outside access is limited to only those IP's you have defined in your firewall.

build 35: (remember build 32+ requires GB-PVR 0.96.12)

- Fixed recording issue in Episode Search.
- Fixed ZapTools detection.
- Added ability to chose to display the single best Genre or all Genre that the show is classified in via the config screen.
- Added Netflix link.
- Made bad Autologin ranges non-fatal.
- Autologin reloads correctly when saving settings.

Yes, build 33 and 34 would act the same way. The issue was that the IP range only took effect when you restarted the recording service.

Yes, it is. If you double-click on the GB-PVR logo, it'll disable the javascript so that you can save the password. The login will fail, but the password is stored, and used for logins in the future.

As UncleJohnsBand said, it's Cassini. Cassini really doesn't do more than just handle the incoming connection, parse the url, and hand of page processing to the .Net framework. Basically it's acting exactly the same as IIS would. IIS also uses the .Net framework to do all the heavy lifting.

Just one small request please. Is it possible to make the Subtitle have a different font, colour or size to the Programme title. Currently the Title/Subtitle appear to merge into one when glancing at the Guide/Recordings screens.
(Wiki seems down so I apologise if this is already on the todo list).
Thanks

Uhg, I guess it does work. I clicked on the search, switched over to read some of this forum, and when I switched back I had results. Not sure how long it took, but it must have been longer than I would have waited for.

I'll just be more patient from now on. Thanks!

Edit: Hmm, Ok just realized I had upgraded to v.35 since the last time I had tested. Not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Nothing changed in that area of the code with release 35. If you don't put any criteria in the search box then every show in your EPG is searched for that Genre.

Each show can have up to 6 genre relationships (for zap2it EPG anyway). That means if you download an 8 day EPG and have like 70 channels in your EPG and then break the day into 1 show for every half hour in a day you get the following:

48 possible show segments per day * 70 channels = 3,360 shows per day.
3,360 shows per day * 8 days of EPG = 26,880 shows.

Without entering anything in the search critera box the search will search all 26,880 shows in your EPG.
