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

[jimmyb]

no-ip had same app, but because it is free you had to visit the site and live thru the ads. With Hamachi there is no need for anything else. I ditched no-ip.

hmmm... I'll have to check it out too... might remove the need for me to have a Linux router for SSHd.

Edit:

After some reading I decided that I'm not comfortable w/ the initial handshaking arrangement "calling home" even though the actual connection *is* P2P. If all else fails I have a Linksys WRT w/ 3rd party firmware and SSHd support. WAF isn't as high as I'd like it for running a full-blown PC simply as a firewall/router. "but hun.. it's only an HP Vectra desktop..."

[rickgillyon]

Last I tried to use Hamachi, you needed to install it on the PC you wanted to connect from and it used a non-standard port. No good from a work machine behind a firewall...

Cygwin has a fully featured sshd...

dnydns is working good for me.

[mkanet]

I also use Dyndns.org (along with DirectUpdate client)

I've played around w/ Cyg in the past. I forgot what I was trying to do; maybe VPN or SSHd. Call me paranoid but I just don't trust M$ not to cludge it up somehow w/ that open port on the firewall. Thanks though.

When I click on the link to see the recorded shows I imediately get this message:

All of the other functions seem to work. Anyone have a clue. Also what do I need to get the sageencoder plugin to work beyone the switch in the Sage.Properties file?

Thanks

Hey nielm, I have two feature requests. It would be really great if I could specify for the EPG Search to only return First Runs and if I could create an RSS feed of EPG Search results.

finally got around to installing web pluggin today.

Awesome.

This product just keeps getting better and better.

I'm having a problem using the web plugin to schedule recordings. The tool seems to work, but at the end of the process there's no red dot in the guide. This used to work great, it just kind of died on me. (I can still schedule through the guide in the client, but the upcoming shows page in the webserver doesn't show anything now either.)

The only change I have made lately is to upgrade from SageMC 16x9 version 6.8 to 6.9b. I am not positive, but that seems to be about the time the webserver began to act up. Since I noticed the problem I have upgraded SageMC 16x9 to v 6.10 and reinstalled the web server with no improvement. Any ideas?

Here's a log entry:

Download seems to be working now...

Also, I upgraded to SageMC 6.10, and my Webserver still appears to be working...but, then again, I usually only install the xml file, not any of the other files in there. Maybe an older JAR or something is replacing a newer JAR...

I had this problem, too. I replaced servlet.jar

[horseflesh]

I am not sure what the root cause of my problem was but I reinstalled everything and it all works again. My digitizer driver seemed to have bit the dust too, so I dunno what really went on.

[FidgetyRat]

Speaking of dyndns, there are some routers, (mine is by dlink) that will automatically update dyndns info when it detects a dynamic IP change. No need to set up extra software on your boxes. Plus, the router is the first one to know of an IP change anyway

With the new season of TV just around the corner I second the motion for the ability to display just first runs. It would be great to be able to identify new series and season premiers in a nice and clean interface such as the Web one

I tried to use the filter, but it does not seem to look at the "First Run" text even in all fields are selected.

Great plugin!!! I can't believe its taken me nearly 6 months to get around to installing it. Lots of little bugs to squash on my first HTPC, so cool features like this take a back seat.

Anyway, I'm trying the webserver along side a trial of placeshifter, and so far, I like webserver for what I want to do-- remotely control sage. Placeshifter seems to crash whenever its not within the local network.

If you do make an update to the plugin, I would also like to put a vote in for having the ability to search for first run.

Thanks for your hardwork, its truly appreciated.

Don't know if this is out there yet - I found a great PPC browser w/ JAVA 1.5 compatibility - works perfectly w/ the Web Interface.

Why would you need a Java enabled Browser for the webserver? Could it be you confused Java with Javascript?
I use Opera Mobile 8.6 (Link), works perfektly!
