Plugin: Web User Interface for SageTV 2.2-6.6 (V2.25 18 Sep 2009)

[mkanet]

Jetty webserver can be installed and be usable in just a couple of minutes. It doesnt need any instruction unless you plan on changing the default username/password or change the tcp port for the server. You can make changes in to its configuration in its the plugin config. My friend just.installed it last week on a brand new machine. Of course, you need Sagetv 7; and just select to install the plugin. You shouldn't be trying to.install an obsolete version

I installed from the plugins and it worked fine. Thanks for the help. I also figure out how to edit the realms.properties file to change the password.
Whatever happened to the wiki though?
Thanks

My guess is it isn't needed anymore since it's pretty easy to install and configure.

Slugger - If you ever update the Web UI again would it be possible to put a link on the Home page to do a Java Cleanup. I have added a Groovy page to do this (and I think I will also use a SJQ cron job) but it would be nice to be able to trigger it from the main Sage home page.

You can already add links to the web UI by following this wiki doc.

Awesome, I like the wiki - is it new? I guess this

Rather than add links in the Menu can I add them in the body - what I mean is to add a section just like the EPG section that shows JVM usage and then a hyperlink to Cleanup.

So it could look like this:

The whole project was converted back to Source Forge. The same wiki page was on the Google Code site previously. The nice thing about SF is that I can create separate wikis and issue trackers for each plugin, which makes organizing things much easier. Still need to convert a lot of the wiki pages over, but will only do so as they're requested or as I reference them (such as tonight's webui wiki).

Anyway, to get what you want would require me to modify the home page and do a new build because the home page is a "legacy page" -- meaning it's part of the original web ui and is not groovy generated. You can open a feature request, but the odds are slim to none that I'll end up doing it. Of course, there's no chance I ever will without a ticket to remind me, but the only chance you've got is that some other show stopping bug forces me to do another build.

The best you're going to do, in all likelihood, is to create a separate "JVM Status" page in groovy as described here and then link to it in the web ui menu. Or, if you wanted, you could create an alternate home page for the web ui that is completed generated in groovy. It can duplicate the current home page and then add in the JVM stuff as desired and then bookmark it as your defacto home page for the web ui. With the templates I created for the groovy stuff way back when, duplicating the current home page in groovy then adding to it wouldn't be too difficult an exercise, imho.

I noticed a very minor issue with the Web Interface. I am not sure how long it has been going on, but I just noticed it today. My channel logos are not showing up in the web UI. I double checked to make sure they work working within Sage and they are. Not a big issue at all, I just thought I would bring it to your attention. Thanks for all the hard work!

I recently tried to install v2.2.2 on a new Win 7 box - I am using Sage 6.6.2. During the install, there was a message that two netsh commands failed because "netsh firewall" had been deprecated by Microsoft and it was required to use "netsh advfirewall" instead.

I could enter those commands manually, but I don't have access to the full command that was trying to execute. Does anyone know the full netsh commands?

The result is that the page is very slow to load unless I disable Windows firewall, which I prefer not to do. Thanks in advance for your assistance.

I had to reinstall Windows and ever since then my SageTV Web user interface is not working

I can access the page but nothing is there

I get a message that says
"Problem accessing /sage/Home Reason
Service_Unavailable

_________________________________________________________________
Powered by Jetty"

I am using Windows 7 and SageTV 7.1.9.256

The weird thing is the SageTV gadget can still pull up a program guide with the channel and times but I just can't access the page to see more information about the show or anything else

[peternm22]

Does the "Restart SageTV" item in the menu not work in Firefox? When I try, I get a plain white webpage with this just text and it fails to actually restarted:

[object Object]

It works fine in Chrome though.

After I upgraded to 2.43 the web ui broke for me, I have no idea how to fix it. I've uninstalled and re-installed with the issue remaining.

Going to the page it displays this

HTTP ERROR 500

Anyone have any ideas?

For some reason I cannot update the password and user in the latest web server? There is no longer an option to configure plugin for port or user.


Edit
Never Mind found it under the Jetty web server Plugin.

[nyplayer]

Jut an FYI.


SageTV server and Client work fine in Java 8... but this plugin the Webserver does not run in Java 8.

That's not good

[Skirge01]

The v2.43 webserver for SageTV V7 still works fine, though. This is the plugin used in SageTV versions up to 6.6.

EDIT: I may be mistaken here. I just realized I'm still running my Sage server on Java 7u71. But, that doesn't change the fact that this thread is about the plugin for Sage versions 2.2 through 6.6.

This is the only thread about the webserver... Slugger has continued posting about the updates to the webserver here. .... Unless you know of another thread which Slugger is updating? The Jetty Webserver and the latest webserver does not work in Java 8.

[Slugger]

Actually, this is the thread I subscribe to for notifications about the web ui plugin.

If someone posts the errors/stacktraces they get from Java 8 over there I may be able to assess if it's something I can easily tackle. I will say at this stage, I probably won't put much effort into any changes to this plugin -- the code base is just so fragile. Like for example, if Jetty needed to be upgraded to a new major point release, I wouldn't do that -- testing requirements are more than I'm willing to give to this plugin. I'd probably be willing to investigate what would likely be needed and if someone else wanted to pick it up, I'd transfer control of the git repo to them to do as they see fit.

LOL you post more to this thread. I will test again when I get a chance problably not this weekend due to College Football, Pro Football, Basketball, and NASCAR.

Check V7 thread for error.
