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

[mkanet]

Maybe I'm missing something obvious, but I am not seeing any of the Show marker icons except for MarkerFirstRun. For example, none of the HDTV shows display the MarkerHDTV.gif icon. I was only able to see the first run icon when listing the upcoming recordings.

Also, does this enhancement mean that I should also see first run & HDTV icons in the EPG grid like the Standard SageTV Program Guide? If not, is there anyway we could have this added? It's hard to tell which shows are HD format until after I click on the show and read the detailed information.

EDIT: I am able to see some of the new icons if I select "watched shows" from the drop down menus, but still no way to show HDTV icons.

As always, thanks Neilm for adding value to this great addon!

Hi Nielm,

One other thing I noticed in v2.3

I went to Watch (Streamed) content and it brought up the Sage Media Player with a black screen. I clicked on properties and see the Location has no host portion in the URL.

Here is what I see:

Man I wish you could back port this enhancement for older Sage revs.....

love to -- except that the API for getting thumbnails as a Java image is only available in 4.1
This and the webremote changes lock this version into 4.1... Sorry!

I am also not sure if media players can stream over https links (never used https myself), but it may also be a bug

Some of the icons (archived/manrec/favorite) are only shown for Recorded files, but you should be able to see watched/don't like on search results

I was not able to test HDTV icon because I don't have HDTV (wrong continent!) I am copying the logic from the STV, so it should work just as well (for search results, recsched and recordings)...

Not at present

Well I connected to through HTTP and all worked ok. So apparently it won't stream over HTTPS

[dblaine2]

Well nielm it is a bug. I went looking and found this function in player.js:

function MakeAbsoluteURL(clipurl) {
if ( clipurl.match("^[a-z]+://") == null )
clipurl=location.href.substr(0,location.href.indexOf('/',7))+clipurl;
return clipurl;
}


so I had to change

(0,location.href.indexOf('/',7))+clipurl;

to

(0,location.href.indexOf('/',8))+clipurl;

so it would support https...

Should be automatically displayed in the Media Library/Search Picture Files results, and in the Detailed Info for each picture...

However, if a thumbnail does not already exist Sage will not display one immediately -- it will generate it in the background, and you will need to refresh the page to see it.

Never mind -- there is a bug in the code which will mean that HDTV icons will never be displayed...

Stopped working! I log on and can do all BUT when I press switch to Web Remote I get and error message showing on screen:
error: No UI context specified

Of course if I press a button I get longer error messages LOL

What do I need to do here?

[rickgillyon]

I suppose this is a question about Sage in general rather than the webserver, but I'm currently trying to do it in the webserver...

Is there a way to disable a favourite? I have a favourite but I have a gazillion shows already recorded, lined up to watch. I don't want to delete it, I just want to disable it for a few weeks until I've caught up, rather than having to recreate.

I know I know, I'm a lazy sod.

BTW, I'm sure I've said it before, but this webserver is one of Sage's best features (along with favourites). Real geek appreciation factor. Yesterday my boss said "You've got to watch this program, it's great." I said "Hang on," searched my EPG, added it as a favourite, and then told him that my PVR was scheduled to record 11 episodes of this show in the next 14 days (while he looked over my shoulder at work). He says I'm a geek, but I know he's jealous...

Thanks Nielm!

What I do is change the channel to something it will never be on like the Soap Network. Then when I'm ready to record it again I change it back. That channel works well for me because the SciFi channel is the next number higher.

While I am trying to get this to work I am also getting frustrated. I guess the best way is to just ask your help.

What settings do I need in my Sage prop and or Sageclient props to be able to control the client using your webserver remote?


Do I load Webserver in the client computer also??

[a_puty]

Previous to Sage 4.1 I was able to select a current show in the webserver grid view and rather than "Record" I had the option to "Watch". This was no longer working since Sage 4.1. The only function is always "Record" whether the show is currently on or not. I really miss this function...as does the GF. I installed Webserver 2.4 hoping (dare I say expecting?) that this function would be working again but alas it is not. It is entirely possible that it was never broken and I just muffed something up...can anyone confirm this and offer a fix if possible? Much appreciated and thanks for all of the effort from which the rest of us benefit.
Cheers!
