Hi,

Not sure why it cannot raise a window when remoting in. Its a java issue I think. The exceptions are java saying it cannot render a panel.

But anyway it seems to fail so can you try:

java -Djava.awt.headless=true -jar webfeedencoder_0_9_4.jar

You should get the text version of the installer.

Its a while since I tested that but I have all my fingers and toes crossed.

I'm getting this repeated over and over again in the cmd window

Does not exist
destination = [C:\Program Files\webfeedencoder]

Well, I went in and manually added the folder and now I'm in the config settings. I'll let you know how it goes.

[ohpleaseno]

It installed. How do I bring up the GUI to add channels now?

[michaeldjcox]

You are my first headless WFE!

It is possible to run the configtool remotely from another machine.

I'm afraid the installer does not offer reduced install on a management machine. On my very long jobs list that one.

You need to copy the configtool jar file to your client machine. Possibly other stuff. Then

java -jar configtool.jar

to run it. But you need to provide host and possibly port of encoder on the WHS box to the end of the above command line. I cannot remember the syntax but its all documented in the user guide.

It might just be

java -jar configtool.jar <whs host name>

The configtool then talks to the web feed encoder. Best if webfeedencoder is running but if sagetv is running then it is possible to use the configtool (via sagetv) to start the webfeedencoder.

You're the first beta tester to try out all this functionlity so this is not a well trodden path.

Sorry to be a bit vague but I'm at work at th mo.

[ohpleaseno]

The only two hiccups I saw for future reference

1) The java issue on the headless machine - you solved that with the modified cmd prompt.

2) Once the command prompt starts, it does an endless loop of looking for "C:\program files\webfeencoder - solved that by hitting the Pause/Break key and manually adding the folder

I did all of this through live mesh, so I'm not able to really get my hands dirty at the moment, but I did start up Sage on the WHS while I had it open and it recognized the WFE tuner in the Source setup screen.

So, now that I have a recognized tuner, you're telling me to go back to the command prompt, but on a different machine (I only run one HD-200, so I don't have a "client" that runs Sage), copy the jar to that machine, call for it using the syntax in the userguide and the GUI should pop up?

I'll try it when I get home. It will probably be late for you, but we'll connect over the weekend. I'm really excited about getting this running! My kids will love being able to tune in to NASA TV for shuttle launches (however many are left).

[michaeldjcox]

by client machine I mean whatever PC your are remoting into your WHS box with. That one will have a monitor and graphics card and be able to show the config GUI.

We need to work out why java cannot draw a GUI when you remote in from another machine. That one surpises me.

Wifes out tonight so if the baby goes to sleep I may hook up with you later.

Michael

[ohpleaseno]

Because I'm an idiot with the cmd prompt, I'm assuming you are referring to this section of the manual.

Running
From a DOS prompt for example:
java -jar <your webfeedencoder install dir>\libs\configtool.jar
It does not matter which directory you are in when you run the configuration tool.
The configtool.jar can be copied to another network host and run remotely.
In this case you must provide a network host i.e.
java -jar configtool.jar myheadlessserver

so, I would copy configtool.jar to my client machine, open the cmd prompt, navigate to the folder I copied configtool.jar, and type

java -jar configtool.jar server

server is the name of my WHS.

look right?

[michaeldjcox]

yes looks ok if server is the hostname of your box.

There may be firewall issues I guess.

Encoder runs on port 1099 if that is an issue

Michael

[briands]

I had been shying away from this since I also use WHS. Maybe I'll jump in this weekend.

[ohpleaseno]

error message attached. I tried opening it from the command prompt in c:\wfe and it wouldn't open java.

Then moved it to where java.exe is found and tried again. Results attached.

[ohpleaseno]

okay, so I'm a smart guy and figured out that it was looking for a .dll, so I grabbed it off the internet, put it where it was looking for it, was able to open up the config tool and...

can't find wfe on the server

[ohpleaseno]

Have any of you been successful in calling the config GUI from a client machine?

[michaeldjcox]

Hi,

Sorry for the troubles.

This is not a well tested area recently. Your'e the first one to try this other than me.

Anything that cannot be found is probably part of the release. For example that DLL that you found on the internet is delivered with WFE anyway.

We are suffering here because I haven't not implemented an alternative install for a config tool only installation which would deploy all the parts needed just to support the config tool.

What you could try is a complete install on that machine but skip the configuration of the encoder, SageTV and installing services.

If you still get issues send me the logs/configtool.log for your failed run.

Michael

Here is the best I can do for a log.

Is this running the config tool on the "client/management" PC or on the WHS box?

This is a very unusual error of the "oh no I cannot draw a window on the screen" type which makes me think its the latter.

Hi,

The above message means that the config tool could not talk to the web feed encoder on your WHS box.

This is either because the web feed encoder has not been started or there is a problem accessing the box named "server" and port 1099 e.g. firewall restrictions.

Check the encoder is running and configure the firewall to allow access to that port.

(The next version will contain a better message and I have sorted the dll access error)

Thank you for trailblazing remote configuration.

This was from an attempt to configure it on my server using RDP. There was not a log that I could find generated from my client attempt.

I'll check the firewall when I get home and let you know.

[michaeldjcox]

I'm trying to shadow what you are doing and have met most of the same problems which I am fixing for the next version 0.9.5 which is probably only a week or two away.

My recommendations for remotely managing with 0.9.4 thus far are:

On your (headfull) client PC create the following directory structure:

webfeedencoder/libs/configtool.jar
webfeenencoder/libs/dsj.dll
webfeedencoder/logs

Your (headless) windows home server box should have WFE installed as normal.

Run up WFE on the headless WHS box.

On the client machine run quoting the name of your server i.e. for you this is:

java -jar webfeedencoder/libs/configtool.jar server

The config tool will die with that exception dialog if web feed encoder is not running or it cannot reach the ports 1099 (the web feed encoder) or 1100 (SageTV) on the server box.

Hope this helps and thanks for feeding back your findings.
