I cannot remember when UPnP was added, so possibly...
If the configuration menu I mentioned does not exist, then probably not

Now that I have figured out web browser plugins on the Mac, transcoding tv on the server, how does one transcode ripped DVDs? I'd love remote access to my collection whilst traveling.

It was added for v5.0, since that is the first version of the manual it is listed in. See the Detailed Setup menu location Niel mentioned.

Good night! Isn't that considered a business package? I just got the 5M down, 3M up. Fine for me though!

Hi,

I just installed sagetv and the web user interface plugin on ubuntu linux.
Accessing the web interface via firefox from the machine sagetv is running on works fine.
But accessing it from a remote machine, even from the same subnet gives me the following popup error message after authentication and partly loading the page:

"Error in menu_items.js - check syntax".

Partly loading the page meas that no graphical elements are loaded. It seems that parts of the page are not accessible and I assume it's happening with the js files as well.
Does anybody experiencing the same? Any solution?

don't put a '/' after 'Home'
ie: http://mediaserver:8080/sage/Home

It was only 10 bucks more a month than 15/2. I think it is because Adelphia, now Comcast was offering 16/2 or better.

All this speed for 54.95. Can't beat it!

You are right, for some reason I was thinking placeshifter came out with version 6. I set it up and it is now showing up in my router.

I was aware of this tailing slash as it is documented in the troubleshooting faq.
The problem was that I used http://mediaserver:8080/Sage/Home instead of http://mediaserver:8080/sage/Home.
The effect is quite interesting as part of the image is still get loaded.
Anyhow, problem solved.
Thank you.

You should also be able to use the back button to go back to the main menu most of the time

Well I finally got around to changing this to my liking. I use my Pocket_PC as a remote when watching my Laptop on the Patio or in the hot tub. The reason I wanted to see the Home page was when returning to the Guide page, I was stuck there. I could not go back to Home to view my recordings (Left arrow only walks you back thru the hours and days), listen to music or other choices. Now after changing (thanks to your help) I am free to surf the SageTV pages wherever INCLUDING the Guide if I wish.

All I did was change the references to Guide in the webremote.html to Home and all is working well.

Thanks Again Neil !

A-ha! It looks like the "space" in your directory name may be causing problems. "Sage Recordings". In your transcode.properties, try putting quotes around the VlcOpts %LOCAL_PATH% token:

VlcOpts=-I dummy --dummy-quiet --quiet --no-sub-autodetect-file "%LOCAL_PATH%" \:sout\=\#transcode{vcodec\=%VIDEO_CODEC%,vb\=%VIDEO_BITRATE%,scale\=%SCALE%,acodec\=%AUDIO_CODEC%,ab\=%AUDIO_BITRATE%,channels\=2,threads\=2%DEINTERLACE%}\:duplicate{dst\=std{access\=http,mux\=%MUX%,dst\=%SERVERPORT%}}

Edit: Looks like it may need to be escaped---> \"%LOCAL_PATH%\"

Agh! Linux! Case-sensitive filenames! (added to troubleshootinf FAQ)

The next version will have a fuller web-remote thanks to ToonGal (as well as the compact one for small screens)

Emok or Nielm, any way to feed the list of VOBs to the VLC player?

TIA

Technically, yes it is possible, (actually you feed the directory to VLC and tell it that it is a DVD) but the webserver cannot do it (yet)

[bcjenkins]

Thank you. Looking forward to this addition!

Well, I have friends with 100/10 Mbps, and even 100/100 is available here .

100/10 is available for about $45/month.
