Thanks!

So you learn something new everyday. When you run the service you need to also run Sage as a client (sagetv.exe on the server) and add the webstart to the Sageclient.properties file using a different port. Or don't run the service and run sagetv.exe. You will get the UI (user interface)and it also runs as the server. The webstartup would be in the sage.properties file for it to work with the default port.

As it turns out, I (originally) had everything configured correctly, but a DISASTROUS problem. My C: drive ran out of space, due to a log gone crazy. Consequently, my .properties files for SageTV were both truncated. I can't even figure out how that machine continued to work at all during that period. VERY strange.

A good history of backups is invaluable, and all back as it should be by basically replacing the truncated part with the backup.

Thank you all for the help. All is once again as it should be, and the other recent system errors in my life are probably related to that.

Is there a builtin way to list all music files albums, tiltes or playlists without doing a search first? .. and on top of that can we play files directly from a playlist? If not this would be a great addition and yet another way areound the flawed music interface ...

[briands]

Is there an RSS for recordings?

Found out why this was occurring... If the Show ID, the Airing Start Time and Duration are the same, Sage keeps the old Airing ID... Which means that the file does not get renamed, and then when the old Sage DB entry is deleted, the file also gets deleted...

For the moment, consider the 'do not Generate New EPGID' as unsafe -- it will probably be OK if you change the airing start time, or the airing duration... I will have to figure out a different way of doing this...

I get the exact same problem. Sage v5, MVP, webserver plugin 2.8. Would love to know how to fix it.

check that nielm_sageutls.jar in the JARs dir matches the one in the webserver zipfile; check that you have deleted any net/sf/sageplugins folders in the sagetv home dir (as mentioned in install instructions). Other than that, can you let me know where you saw that error, and check if there is something similar but more detailed in the webserver log file (webserver/log directory)

I am trying to figure out a way to turn the mvp player off remotely from the internet. I have been playing around with webremote. I am able to use the power command, but this only puts it to sleep or wakes it up. Does anyone know of a command that will power the MVP down.
Thanks

neilm,

Is there a "Context" that will check all clients if the webserver is running on the server? I'm talking about the currently playing screen.

Jere

[nielm]

Jere: no. Sage has no API which can tell you what the Sage Clients (as opposed to extenders/placeshifters) are doing -- the only workaround would be a webserver instance running on each client.

banmj -- there is no Sage API that can remotely power down the MVP -- there are rumours of a port on the MVP that you can telnet into though...

Is there a way to stream whole albums? I don't see a way to play the entire album using the webserver (i'm probably missing it though). If I click on the first song in the album it only plays that one and stops...
Thanks

Did a fresh install of 5.02 with 2.28 webserver
When I choose Watch (local file) and choose Media Player.. get a black box.. no stream.. When I install VideoLanClient.. does not play or even make a call to videolan.. says error on page on the bottom of the browser. Am I missing something? Thanks

The default install of VideoLan does not install the plug-ins for IE and Mozilla. You need to select those manually during the install.

Thanks for the tip Dragon!
I reinstalled and checked everything.
Now I can go to Watch Streamed and VideoLan plays however when I choose Watch Local nothing starts regardless if I choose VideoLan or IE.

Same here. I never have gotten Watch Local to work -- which I really don't need since I have SagePlaceshifter and the WatchStreamed.

Of course, what is "watch local" supposed to do? Does it copy the entire file to the current client and then play it -- if so, that will take a few minutes to transfer a 2GB file across the network from the SageTV server. I'd rather watch it streamed...

Then i am content if it doesn't work on someone else's setup
Thanks again

it tells the media player plugin to play the file directly from the disk path shown in the detailed info page... (it uses the 'file playlist' that is also on the detailed info page)
This will only work if

• you are on the server
• or you are using UNC paths with appropriate share permissions
• or if you are using drive letters, and the PC you are browsing from has a mapped drive to the server drive with *exactly* the same drive letter/path to the video files...
