How did you get to the speed test page? I can not seem to find it. Using ver. 2.13

Click on Watch (Streamed)
and then at the top of the list of transcoded modes there is a link to the speed test page

Haven't tried the new version yet, will do when I get home tomorrow.

One query: is it possible for the homepage, when it shows what is playing on the extenders, to show whether they are playing or paused? The kids have a nasty habit of leaving livetv shows paused, which means we keep recording all subsequent shows. If I could see it was paused, I could make it a manual recording and stop playback, stopping it using one of my few tuners for the next three days solid...

Or I could just threaten to take the MVPs off them.

Thanks!

You can use the web remote and kill the playback with the stop button too.

EDIT: Any way to friendly name your extenders? Tried as I might I can't memorize the units' mac addresses.

Thanks, yeah, knew that. Problem is, I don't want to do that if they are actually viewing, just if they've paused it and gone off to school etc.

Nope, but I have two extenders (so far) and only two kids (ever), and I know that the extender with a "C" in its MAC belongs to the kid without a "C" in her name...when I get the next two MVPs (if they ever come back into stock) I'll be lost...

Okay.. Try two!

And you're a programmer, you could build a query in studio and add it in to the web server as a module.

I am a programmer (amongst many other things) but I was kind of hoping that someone else would do it for me...

Well.. If it is any consolation, if I knew how I would. Seems to be a useful feature. We have the now playing, shouldn't be too hard to get current status of now playing.

IsPlaying

public boolean IsPlaying()

Returns true if the MediaPlayer is currently playing back content (i.e. content is fully loaded and not in the paused state)

Returns:
true if the MediaPlayer is currently playing back content, false otherwise

If there is a web control for that API, is it what is needed?

I'm having trouble with UPnP port forwarding. I am trying to connect using spysurfing.com proxy and it fails. If I manually forward port 8080 it works fine. I know UPnP is working on my router because xfire and utorrent are both successfully using it. I checked the box to use UPnP when I upgraded the webserver and Windows Firewall is disabled.

The installer is intelligent enough not to do this

[jamart3d]

hey, i was about to post how I have vlc http interface and http streaming
working fine from my htpc/sage webserver thru my office firewall/proxy

At my office, I can only use ports 80, 1080, and 8080, and it has to go thru the proxy

webserver on port 80
vlc http interface on 8080
vlc http stream on 1080

this is my vlc transcode setting that works very well, i only have @ 666 kbps up...

:sout=#transcode{vcodec=mp1v,vb=256,scale=0.5,acodec=mpga,ab=96,channels=1}:std{access=http,mux=mpeg1,dst=:1080}

my server is a p4m 2ghz laptop, and doesn't seem to have much trouble transcoding with the above setting.

I was thinking how I could get the vlc http interface embedded into the web server...
which would allow pause/seeking.

I'll install 2.13 soon , and start tweaking..

thanks for 2.13

Unfortunatly not... (it is mentioned in the Installation instructions) I cannot see any way at the moment of keeping user-modified menu items when adding new menu items..

Sorry, I completely missed this when you posted it!
It will be in 2.14...

As will Extender MAC Addr->name translations, and an indication of 'Paused' on the home page

It's not possible to have an include in there for a separate file? That would be great...

UPnP piggybacks onto Sage's Placeshifter UPnP, so can you go into Detailed Setup/Server/Configure Placeshifter Internet Connection/Configure, and check that it UPnP Automatic is enabled.
You may need to restart the server if it is not.

You can also check the UPnP page on your router webadmin to see if the ports are forwarded.

Fantastic!
But I wonder where the extender naming happens?

So I need to have version 6 for UPnP? I'm still running version 5.
