you need to create XML files of the format listed here, which in the simplist possible form, would look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<!DOCTYPE sageShowInfo PUBLIC "-//NIELM//DTD SAGESHOWINFO XML 1.2//EN" "http://www.sage-community.org/~nielm/nielm_modules/sagexmlinfo/sageshowinfo_1_2.dtd">
<sageShowInfo version="1.2">
    <showList>
        <show>
            <title>My Show Title</title>
            <episode>Episode Name</episode> 
            <category>Category</category> 
            <subCategory>Subcategory</subCategory>
            <description>This is a short description of the show</description>
            <airing 
                    duration="3600" 
                    startTime="2006-03-21T17:00:00.00Z">
                <mediafile
                        type="TV">
                    <segmentList>
                        <segment 
                            filePath="C:\TV\Manix Series 01\S01E01.MPG"/>
                    </segmentList>
                </mediafile>
            </airing>
        </show>
    </showList>
</sageShowInfo>

The only odd criteria is that the file timestamp must be equal to the start time + duration, otherwise it looks like the show was recorded very early or very late.
I plan to work around that in a future version, and in the meantime it can be fixed with edit show info...

Each file will have a corresponding Show element...

Very cool! I'll give it a shot and report back!

Np!.. I gotta whip up some code too. All my show data currently is in a Access DB.

Is there any harm in finding it? I am 99% sure that the webserver has no exploitable security holes, and even if it did, it is unlikely that anyone would ever find them as it is such a niche product. (most exploits target IIS and Apache). So, no.

You can always try using a different port -- I use 800 because my ISP blocks 80 incomming and my router blocks 8080, and I do not see any of these type of messages

Thanks Nielm, that's good to know. I'm not using port 80 either, because of the same problems you had...so maybe that helps.

I've just noticed that times in my feedreader (FeedReader 3.06) are an hour out. All times from the RSS Feeds are showing an hour ahead. Anyone else seeing this?

Would they be correct if I moved to Belgium?

nielm,

made my day today w/ the webserver. after my coax got cut the other day I got 8 episodes of Airwolf recorded as static. well, i deleted 5 of them as wrong recordings then realized I could copy the good recordings from an alternate source over the bad ones if I changed the unique file number to match. Found the 5 I deleted still listed in the webserver under past airings. That gave me the unique numbers for the deleted mpg's. All is well now w/ those 5 showing up in Recordings. Just need to regen the thumbnail for them to get rid of the original snow.

hi,

i have been testing out sagetv with a view to replacing a uk tivo that i use.

all good so far except when i install the webserver plugin, all goes well but it doesnt seem to start properly, see excert from log below.

Class not found: net.sf.sageplugins.webserver.EncodeCommandServlet

any clues where i should start to look or how to fix - searched forums but turned up nothing similar.

Many thanks

Pete.

Ok, I am guessing that I am doing something wrong. I followed the instructions for setting up ssl mode for the webserver. So far, I have been unable to get it to work. What is interesting is that it seems to be ignoring the use_ssl=true flag. Regardless of whether this flag is set or not, http connections always work and https connections always fail.

Any ideas?

Never mind - got it figured out.

If there is something missing in the instructions, can you edit the wiki to add it.

Which times -- the times in the RSS item title, or the datestamp of the RSS item pubDate?

It could be that the timezone format is not being recognised by feedreeder...

The problem seemed to be with the -keystoreFile argument for the ssl_args entry. A full path seemed to have problems and I'm not sure why - perhaps I was not entering it correctly.

(In my case, SageTv is installed on "D:\program files\sagetv" and my .keystore file was created in "C:\documents and settings\k10ck3r").

I fixed it by moving my .keystore file to a short path relative to SageTv. In my case, I moved it to the webserver subdirectory and set ssl_args to webserver/.keystore

I presume it's the pubdate - the title is correct. Looks like the attached file. It might be a feedreader problem rather than the feed, but it's hard to tell as other feeds aren't so time-specific...

It looks like feedreader doesn't like 'Named' timezones (eg BST/CEST). I will fix the webserver to use 'numbered' timezones (+0100/+0200) in the next version.

[nielm]

Mainly a bugfix release...

v2.16 04 Jun 2007
BUGFIXES
* fix EPG views to italicize watched shows
* fix Home page not to exception when nothing scheduled
* Edit Show info: fix generated EPGID to not look like an Episode ID

* Edit Show info: Catch and report 0-lengh airings
* Edit Show info: Restore pre 5.0 compatability
* Put a detailed Info link on all elements of airing cells
* use ' ' for blank titles (so that they get a link)
* remove min-width CSS (triggers Firefox rendering bug)
* RSS: use time zone offset rather than timezone name (+0200 in place of CEST)

ENHANCEMENTS
* create a reasonable-sized preview image when viewing Picture details (Sagev6 only)

WARNING:
Due to a collection of bugs, this version requires Java 1.5 or 1.6 (recommended) and Picture preview requires SageTV6 or higher.

Great work again, but 2 problems that are present from the previous version (maybe before too).

1. When pressing the xml button and trying to save it, Maxthon and IE say that they "cannot download Home?xml=current recordings(or favorites or whatever)" it says it was not able to open the site.
If I choose open instead of save, it opens it correctly (in the same page).


2. when in epg list mode, or epg grid/channel mode. and showing the "Program Guide" menu, it goes under the channel combo box, and it should go over it, so in affect i do not see the whole menu.

Other than that no complaints.

This is a bug in IE 6's rendering engine: form controls (listboxes, input boxes, buttons etc) do not respect the stacking order specified by the CSS. There is no workaround other than to use IE7 or Opera or Firefox...

I cannot reproduce this in IE7, nor firefox, nor Opera, so I can only guess that it is another IE6 curiosity... (can you try other browsers to check?)

[alon24]

could not reproduce either with IE7, thanks for your swift response

(I never knew how annoyingly useless IE6 was until I started writing this web-app!)

Thanks as ever nielm, that's fixed it.

What is the cleanest way to uninstall the webserver in order to start over? I am testing things out with the XBMC script and I need to back up a couple version to see where things went screwy, and I want it to be as clean as possible.
