nielm/webserver/throttles_file=throttles.properties
nielm/webserver/use_ssl=false

I changed the port to 8087, and confirmed that my router port forwarding is set up.

for some reason the webserver is not being started on your system -- the properties file entries would be created when the webserver starts...

Check that in the SageTV directory that you have net/sf/sageplugins/webserver/*.class and Acme/*.class and Acme/Serve/*.class files and that they are all readable by the user running SageTV

Check also for webserver/webroot/*

And finally check for files in webserver/log/AWS-<date>_<time>.log and look whats in the latest one...

If there are no log files, then enable the Sage Troubleshooting console (see the support/Troubleshooting FAQ on www.sage.tv and start Sage (not in service mode), and look at the beginning of the log for any errors relating to the webserver -- you may want to change the properties/Layout of the log window to increase the height of the screen buffer to save more lines)

For either of you, to do a full reinstall of the *webserver*, delete the following from directories from the SageTV directory:
net/sf/sageplugins/webserver
net/sf/sageplugins/sageutils
Acme
Webroot

Stop sageTV (not just sleep) or the sageTV service
Edit sage.properties and remove all nielm/webserver lines (but you both have the defaults)

then re-download and re-install.

(It worked fine for me when I did my upgrade to V4.)

Hi,

I'm getting an error from the webserver. It prompts for my username/password, then I get a page with this as the first error:
*************************
java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException: Exception while executing SageApi: "GetCurrentSTVFile" numargs=0
*************************

Is it an easy one to fix? I've tried reinstalling the webserver and SageTV, is there a file missing somewhere?

Thanks,
Rick

Which sage version are you running?
Are you running the webserver in SageTV as service, SageTVClient, or just normal Sage?

[rickgillyon]

v4, normal SageTV (if that's not an oxymoron!).

[nielm]

I cannot think of a good reason why that should be happening, but they will eb a new version of the webserver very soon that will remove that function call (it was not necessary)

[cmaffia]

Nielm.... who is "they"? Is this a typo or a hint that Frey will be incorporating your work starting from version 4.1?

Assuming he meant to say there will be a new version...

[nielm]

yes, "they will eb" = "there will be"...

[cmaffia]

Nielm
Is it possible to give us highlights of what to expect in the next version?
Thanks for probably the one of the most satisfying and useful addons for SageTV!

[nielm]

Current latest release notes in CVS for work-in-progress version... More things to be added though

Thanks, an uninstall and reinstall of SageTV and the webserver fixed the problem, whatever it was.

------------------------------

[rickgillyon]

Favourites support! Woo-hoo! It's going in tonight...

Thanks Niel, you're a star.

[Stuntman]

So far, so good! Thanks!

If I could add a feature request, not to sound ungrateful, but this is something I've wished Sage itself would do.. Drag and Drop the favorite priority lists! I added a new favorite and it becomes my #1 favorite, when I'd prefer it to be favorite #77.. it would be slick if I could drag a favorite from one position to another.. or have a 'move to' option to drop it down, or move it up to a specific place in the list..

Just a thought!

Thanks again!

This is dead easy in Sage: highlight a favorite, hit right and you have 'picked it up', up+down then moves it around, so just hold down the 'down' key until you get to #77, then hit left to 'drop' it... Opus4 will probably post the page in the manual referring to it!

This would be very difficult in the webserver, and way beyond my skillz! Jason implemented a 'create with priority' settng , so you can choose to add a new fave with highest or lowest priority...

Thanks! I forget that most users use the remote so I was thinking of drag and drop with a mouse (I use the Windows and mouse interface on the Server and the remotes on my clients)... My bad.. probably not a useful idea for the masses..

It would be cool on the webserver though, as we all use the mouse there.. I saw the high or low priority, which is better than it used to be for sure! Guess it's impossible to add a 'move to position' type of functionality? No worries either way.. was just thinking (Something I plan to stop doing in the new year!)

New release v2.1

There was a nasty bug that I introduced in the EPG views in Internet Explorer...

V2.1 Dec 6 2005

• BUGFIX: fixed media player page when no supported players installed
• BUGFIX: jump to channel in EPG views in IE...

[insomniac]

finally decided to add webserver functionality. I must say that this is awesome! Why do you not work for sage yet?

I.

[rickgillyon]

Installed and working beautifully. Took me a little time to work out how to add in my changes to the menu (duh!) but it looks better and the favourites stuff is great.

My mp3s at home are streaming over the net, currently having problems with VLC (does it need a port forwarding?) but will play some more tomorrow. After 12 hours work. After 6 hours sleep... :/

And it's all nielm's fault...
