Plugin: Mobile Web UI for v7

[jreichen]

Can provide your log? Go to Jetty's configuration in Sage's Plugin Manager and set the log level to VERBOSE. The restart Jetty or Sage. Reproduce the error then send me the Sage log file. That error is happening inside some API I'm calling so I need logs to find out which part of my code is making the call.

Hi,

I cannot make it work. I installed it using the the plugin manager. The "other" web interface and bmt work. But for http://myserver/sagem/m/menu.jsp I get an 503 SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE error message.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Eyk

Try shutting down SageTV, deleting the SAGE_HOME/jetty/webapps/SageWebApp folder, then restarting SageTV.

If that doesn't work, go to the configuration options for the Jetty plugin in the plugin manager. Go down to the log level and change it to VERBOSE. Then restart Sage (to give me a smaller, cleaner log) and try to access the page. If you still get the 503 then post your log here and I'll look at it.

Hi,

yes, deleting the folder helped.

Thank you!

Is there a way to search the video import directory thru the web interface? It would be handy when I am at the store browsing the bargain bin of DVD's to be able to check to make sure I don't already have the movie.
thanx

Not currently. I mostly use Sage for TV recordings so that has received most of my effort so far. At some point it would be nice to add other media types and this is a good reason to do so.

Here's another request for the web remote interface like on the full Sage web ui.

I installed the Mobile web plugin a little while ago and it worked for a couple of days but now I get: -

HTTP ERROR 404

Problem accessing /sagem/m/menu.jsp. Reason:

NOT_FOUND

Powered by Jetty://

I've un-installed and re-installed the plugin with no success. Any clues as to how I should fix it?

Thanks

Tried to install this yesterday, and used the wiki to tie it into the neilm server SSL certificates, but I still get:

404 Not found
Rogatkin's JWS based on Acme.Serve $Revision: 1.26 $

I tried doing it without the SSL but that didn't work any better. I deleted the folder referenced above but that seem to do anything. I do get the certificate warning, but then it just goes to the above message and nothing further. This is when going to the sagem/m/menu.jsp link.

Nielm's server works fine.

[jreichen]

motobarsteward, try the steps I suggested in post 83 above. That should fix it for you. This happens occasionally (I just answered one over on the Web UI for v7 thread too) but I haven't figured out why.

Djc208, you're running nielm's web ui on its old internal web server (Rogatkin, aka Tiny Java Web Server (TJWS)). That is different from the Jetty web server. TJWS can only run nielm's web ui, while Jetty can run any number of web ui's.

As your system is configured right now, you can go into the Jetty Web Server configuration in the SageTV Plugin Manager, change the Jetty port so it's not the same as TJWS, and restart Jetty (or the Sage server). Then you could access the menu.jsp URL using that port number.

If you also want to run nielm's web UI on Jetty so everything is on the same port, uninstall nielm's web ui and TJWS, then install the SageTV Web Interface from the Plugin Manager (this installs nielm's web UI to run on the Jetty web server).

Feel free to ask more questions if you need clarification.

This web server seems stable, is it available in source form? I am looking to do some development with Sage and remote functionality using a web server, and am attempting to evaluate currently functional servers. I really would like to avoid starting from scratch.

Thanks!

[jreichen]

You can browse the source on SourceForge. To do development, I use the Eclipse IDE for coding and its CVS plugin to get the code from SourceForge.

This plugin uses its own 'Command' servlet to provide the web ui with access to Sage on the backend.

Check out stuckless' Remote APIs if you're looking for a remote api service that provides the backend for you.

[darinh]

Thanks jreichen for the quick response! I will definitely check both your implementation as well as stuckless' Remote API.

P.S. - Sorry for the OT post.

Thanks. It fixed it the second time I tried it.

Just wanted to say thanks. I'll probably rarely use it, but my wife was able to record three shows while on the road and able to watch them when she got home. It has been working great so far and the WAF is massively high especially on our HTC android phones.

Is there a guide on securing this mobile web before I open this port up on my home server?

This is a very cool plugin so we can setup recordings on the road.

The mobile web ui requires a user and password. They are set in the Plugin Manager on the Jetty Web Server plugin. Go there to see the defaults and to modify them. If you want more than one user you need to edit the SAGE_HOME/jetty/etc/realm.properties file manually.

To encrypt connections using SSL, see the wiki for details about setting it up.

Wanted to pop in and say thanks for porting this over for v7. I love being able to schedule recordings with my phone!

[jreichen]

I see you're thanking a lot of the plugin developers and building up your post count

Seriously though, thanks and you're welcome. I've seen a few others posting their appreciation recently and even though I don't always respond, I do read them and enjoy hearing how other people use the plugins. Maybe we need a fun thread, "Most interesting places where the mobile web ui has been used"

Sometimes I think it would be fun to use the GPS on mobile devices and report where it's being used.

Just a side effect of a worthy cause.

It's definitely the absolute LEAST I could do. My wife sat there for about 10-15 minutes watching me write each one and thought it was a nice gesture, too. I honestly didn't expect any of the devs to respond. You guys do enough of that for support reasons. I couldn't even imagine if everyone using the plugins thanked you and you felt obligated to respond! So much for the next version...

LOL! That would be interesting. We all know what the most common place is, so I'll skip that "thinking place". But, I know I've used it on trains, at restaurants (after asking the wife for permission, of course), at bars, on planes, in meetings, as a passenger in the car... among many others. The mobile app has been a real life saver sometimes for shows I forgot to schedule. But, the absolute best use is when someone TELLS you about a show or movie while you're out. Rather than trying to remember it later or making a note for yourself... you go find it and set it to record right away. That's just awesome.

You know, if all the GPS part did was tell the city, state, and country, I'd be interested in seeing that, too. Just skip the date and time so we don't feel like we're being stalked. To keep it even more anonymous, just have it randomly Tweet the info from everyone.
