Wanted: Developer for Web Interface Mobile

[jreichen]

Version 1.1 of the Jetty plugin is now available on the downloads page. Changes in this version:

• Remove quotes from the jetty.logs setting in JettyStarter.properties. Now this file does not need to be modified in order to run Jetty with default settings.
• Add jetty.host, jetty.port, and jetty.ssl.port properties to JettyStarter.properties. These values no longer need to be modified in Jetty.xml. It is possible to run SSL but I haven't had a chance to put together instructions.

I just put up a blog post on this Mobile Web Interface with some screen-shots. Hopefully we can get even more interest in this thing and more input as well.

I'm going to be trying out the 1.1 version of Jetty tonight. Thanks for your work on this Jason!

This is looking awesome! I will try it as soon as I'm back home.

Of course, I have to ask. Is there any possibility of skinning this to look different? It looks so default STVish - kind of clashes with my iPhone

Sooner or later There is a stylesheet, but there are still a lot of styles embedded in the html. Feel free to modify the stylesheet and give feedback.

[bialio]

I will. One question before I install - does authentication use a login every time like nielm's webserver? This is the one pain in the arse thing with the iPhone - I have to type in my username / password every time. It'd be nice if it used a cookie instead, so I just had to authenticate once.......

You have to log in every time. I'll keep that in mind but there are a lot of other things to get to first

Are you still seeing this issue? It went away for about a day for me but has since come back. Funny thing is I never saw this the first few months I worked on it.

I think it's a problem with the third-party compression filter I'm using. I'll need to talk to the developer who wrote it. For some reason it's not setting the HTTP header in the response to indicate it's compressed, so the browser doesn't know to decompress it. It displays the compressed data, which is just garbled.

I have not had to log in after putting my info in the first time using Internet Explorer (portable).

So, has anyone gotten this to work on Opera Mini 4.1?

[Addict]

I haven't had time to mess with this yet, and probably won't for a bit...but I'm *really* looking forward to this! Make sure you put together a donate button somewhere when you're ready to roll with it!

Version 1.2 of the Jetty plugin is now available on the downloads page. Changes in this version:

• Replace third-party compression filter with custom filter. Fixes issue where the browser displayed binary data for some pages.

A new download of SageWebApp.zip is also available in post #6 of this thread. It requires version 1.2 of the Jetty plugin. Changes include:

• New navigation for TV listings. Jump to specific date, time, and time span rather than navigating back and forth.
• All commands on the recording details page now work, except for "Convert". New commands include Record, Set Padding, Set Quality, Cancel Recording.
• Cancel and Clear conversions.
• Minor formatting changes.

Features that still need to be finished are Favorites, Conversions, and Conflicts. Let me know if you prefer any of these over the others, or if you would like to see anything else related to managing TV recordings. That will be the focus for version 1.0.

Got this set up yesterday and played with it on my blackberry today... pretty sweet. Pages load much better than the webserver on the little screen.

One request - on the scheduled recording screen can we get the scheduled tuner icon?

I downloaded and extracted the .zip from post #6, but it's the same interface I believe. I think it was uploaded to the forums, so it's always going to be the same file in that post. Do you have another link?

The zip file was updated. Check the listings page to see if there are drop down boxes for jumping to a specific date and time. If not, try opening and saving the jetty/contexts/sagewebapp.xml to update its timestamp so Jetty will re-extract the war file.

I'll create a downloads page once it gets out of prerelease status.

How is everyone accessing it away from home? I know how to set up port forwarding, so the last mile is working great. It's the first hundred or so that I am struggling with. Do I need to sign up (and pay for) a static IP, or is there a better way?

Check out step 7 and step 8 from this article - I think that will help you out. Basically you need to do a port forward and set up a static IP and DYNDNS. The article hopefully will help you through the steps.

OK, it's working now. I think I had an older cached version in my browser.

It's looking great! The drop down menus are perfect. Keep it up.

A bug I've found:

When you go into HD listings, the first time you look at it, the listings are correct for the current time. It shows only HD shows. When you use the drop down menu there to change the time and day, it gives you the entire listing, instead of just HD shows. The label on the top also changes from "HD Listings" to just "Listings."

Good catch! It'll be fixed in the next update.

[jreichen]

Brent, can you make a couple changes to your instructions?

• #4 - Change the filename to jettystarter_1_2.zip and the date to 6/13/08.
• #7 - The port number can be changed in JettyStarter.properties.

Thanks
