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

[nielm]

Stacy: yep: servlets.properties had changed -- to add the ChannelLogo servlet -- which is why you are getting 404's ... If you re-extract that file and restart, it should all be fine..

Menu.properties had also changed in 1.5 to add viewing history searches (watched and don't like shows)

[srothwell]

Yep.... as soon as I replaced both files, everything is just ducky. Nice work.

Yeah, I made a lot of modifcations to realms and didn't want to have to edit the file so I just copied all of them from my backup after install of 1.5.

I'll be more careful next time.

Thanks for the help!

Is it possible to change the language of the WEB-UI ?

I think I posted this before, but in case I didn't, thank you for the SageTV Webserver!

I use it almost every day from my notebook to monitor what's coming up or to start recordings quickly. Since my notebook is usually rrunning, it is so much faster to start the SageTV Webserver and start a recording than it is to turn on the TV and wait for it to warm up.

I have one request for the Webserver. I like the top line in the program guide grid view, which shows the date, timeslots and the scroll arrows.

Would you repeat this line at the bottom of the table? Perhaps also repeated every 25 lines or so.

I never got around to installing this plugin before because I didn't want a web interface for Sage. Today though, I was playing with my new Sage installation and installed this plugin with a bunch of others I had never used before and well, while it turns out its true that I don't want a web interface, I discovered something else entirely.

Nielm I could kiss you!

I've had this "ghost recording" causing a conflict in my wiz.bin since I first installed the SageTV demo and its been like a tiny fly buzzing in one's ear that does nothing bad and one eventually gets used to but is continually annoying. Your wonderful plugin allowed me to finally get rid of it! No more red exclamation mark! Whoopee! Though I know that wasn't this plugins intended use, thank you, thank you very, very much!! The red bang is gone! Yehaaa! Thank you!

Nielm....a question for you

I have had this great plug-in working for quite some time. I didn't actually use it for some weeks now and wanted to use it again a few days ago. I found out that i couldn't connect to it anymore.
I found out there was a new version out, so i figured it had to do with that. However, this didn't change anything.
The thing is that it used to work fine, i have used it a lot....so everything WAS set-up ok. To my knowledge i didn't change anything. Now all i get are "can't connect" messages.
I have a port (8082) forwarded for it in my router. I have this port set-up in the sage.properties as well. I have set-up a password and user. I don't know what is wrong. I try to connect using this url:

http://localhost:8082/sage/Home (from my house)

or

http://82.72.222.70:8082/sage/Home (from outside house....e.g. work)

I hope you can help me along a bit with some tips.

Cheers,
Henk99

I had this problem when I upgrade to the newest version of java. Make sure you don't have auto upgrade enabled on java. If you do then you need to move all webserver files to the new folder/directory.

Hiya DynamoBen!

I didn't upgrade jav, but i did re-install it once.

What do you mean exactly? What files should i copy where?

[DynamoBen]

There are a couple of files that get placed in the java directory. (there are a few more steps for ssh) You will want to check and see of those files are still there if not follow that part of the installation guide. Once that occurs in theory everything should start working again.

[nielm]

You will probably need to re-install the servlet.jar java library -- check the install instructions:

not currently -- you can rename the menu items, but all the static text in the webpages cannot be changed unless you edit the java source.

It is something I am going to look into though...

I will add it to the to-do list

Dang...thought i had all these files in there. I only had xerces.jar in there. servlet.jar wasn't there.
It's there now and it works again. Thanks all!!

First off, let me say a big thank you for the work that went into putting this wonderful plugin together. The webserver has worked wonderfully for me for quite some time now. Yesterday while at work I went to log in to check the recordings (mainly out of boredom) and found that I couldn't connect to the server. Not even a Login dialog. Worked fine the day before and then yesterday nothing.

Now I also have a small web server running on the same machine (Windows 2003 SP-1) so I checked to make sure I could access that to rule out any DNS issues. Worked fine. Found the post about a new Java version and auto update and thought that might be the clue.

So when I got home last night I checked from my desktop and I could access the Sage webserver from there using the serverort/sage/Home address no problem. So the server is running just fine but I cannot connect from outside my LAN for some reason. Port on the router is forwarded just like before, no changes there. Same with the windows firewall correct port is open (obviously since I can log in from another computer on the LAN).

Any thoughts on this one?

David

[David81]

I should also probably note that Firefox is giving me a "Connection Refused" error when trying to connect, whereas if I change the port to something random I get a "Timed out" error.

[nielm]

'Connection refused' suggests that it is getting through your firewall, but trying to connect to a different port on your server than the one which is open for the webserver... (firewall-blocked ports give Timeouts). It might be worth re-checking the router's port forwarding/firewall config...

It could also be possible that your work has blocked access to destination ports other than :80...

For testing, your best option is to test from home, but using a proxy from outside your home network -- see the links on the webserver remote access documentation page, testing section.

[David81]

Nielm,

Thanks for the quick reply. Tried with anonymizer but it wouldn't let me browse my URL for some reason. Using DynDNS I have anubis81.homedns.org redirected to my IP and running the webserver on port 1981 just for kicks to try something different. Like I said, everything worked fine on Saturday, but Sunday it was a no go. I'll double check the router when I get home to be sure though.

Thanks again,
David

[David81]

Well, I've reloaded the server with 1.5 and overwritten all files. New port to try and rechecked the router. The validator now sees the page instead of a 500 error as before. Will try from work tomorrow with fingers crossed.

David

[David81]

All is well now, don't know if it was a messed up .properties file or port 1981 that it didn't like. Back to normal with 1.5. Thanks once again Nielm.

[alijiwani]

Nielm,

Did you remove the "recording options " in the .5 version? I used to use it regularly in .4 to kill recordings from the webserver when someone else was using the entertainment center. Can't seem to locate the option anymore.

Thanks
-Ali

[nielm]

Congratulations, you have found a bug!
If the recording is in progress, the recording options will not be shown...
It should still be there for an upcoming manual recording...
