What you see with the duration=recorded so far for currently recordign files is normal -- it represents the current file duration.

It should also grow to more than the airing duration when you are using padding... (airing duration is duration in EPG, there is nothing that shows scheduled recording times including padding)

I have a "little/tiny" feature request: Jump to Live streaming.

I have gotten streaming to work to my windows mobile phone using TCPMP but when trying to check on a football game during a wedding, it isn't practical to watch from the beginning all the time.

Just an idea, the simple fact that it works at all and I have been able to ditch Orb is amazing in and of itself. Thanks nielm!

Ok, I see different behavior for this field when playing back recordings from file vs. watching live tv. When watching live tv, this field contains the number of seconds that have elapsed so far. However, when playing back from file, this field contains the total file duration. Would it be possible to change the file playback to work the same as live tv? This way, I can provide status on playback for both types.

Thanks.

This field shows the number of seconds recorded so far for files currently recording, and the recording duration for previously recorded files.

There is nothing in the webserver that can give you the current playback position... (this is what getstatus was for, and by using a persistant TCP connection, it can do it a lot more efficiently than regularly querying a web server)

[k10ck3r]

ok thanks

[Stuntman]

Would it be possible to 'send message to console'.. what I mean is for you to be able to send a text message to a tv via the webserver... for example, I see my sons are watching something on one of the MVP's right now.. I want to remind them to take a jacket to school today.. would be pretty neat if I could send a popup type message that said so...

Just a thought..

Hi Nielm,

I've got the 6.2.8 version of the WHS server and for some reason I can get the plugin to start... here's what I get in the log files:

Any clue ?

Your SageTV/webserver/throttles.properties file appears to have some corrupt data in it, and there are bugs in the routine logging this, causing a total failure on startup...

Either empty it, or replace it from the zipfile (I think the file needs to exist otherwise you may have other problems)

[sivilya]

Right on the money!

I had my hard drive rescued from an unfortunate accidental format couple of weeks back and some of the files "returned" corrupted.
When I installed the webserver again (the new 2.19 version) I though that it would overwrite any problematic files... well, as you can guess - it didn't.

So, I removed it completly and re-installed - now it works like a charm.

Thanks nielm!

Tomer.

V2.20 7 Oct 2007 For SageTV 2.2-6.2

BUGFIXES:

• Fixed failure to start with corrupt throttles file
• Use playlist name as filename when exporting playlist
• Include Media File URL as Enclosure in RSS feeds (enables podcasting)
• Fix video conversion auto file-naming (was always using old filename+ext)

Can anyone help me get this EPG search to work?

I'd like to search for a combination of title/episode information. That is, there is a value that must exist in the title, and, separately, one that must exist in the episode.

Is there a way to get the webserver to allow such a search?

Searching the EPG for both terms doesn't return any hits. Searching for one or the other does.

I just used this from my phone for the first time in months (normally used from PC). Last time I used it on the phone, the javascript menu didn't load but there was a fallback menu at the bottom of the screen. Now the fallback menu doesn't appear. Was it dropped?

Fallback menu is at:
http://mediaserver:8080/sage/menu.html
You should be redirected to that page from
http://mediaserver:8080/sage/
if your browser does not support javascript.

(the fallback menu at the bottom of each page got removed in V2.0, Dec 6 2005)

Not currently.

When I put that into my browser, I get the SageTV logo with the text "Main Menu" underneath. Nothing else, no menu...

No, I get the standard page but with no menu. Although I must admit, I don't *really* know that my browser doesn't support javascript, I'm just assuming it because I don't get the menu...
It's IE on Windows Mobile 6.

Really? Wow, I didn't know I'd been using Sage that long.
I have a new mobile contract with lots of data included, so I've started using IE on the phone a lot more.

BTW, this is surely the greatest Sage add-on ever, don't know how I'd manage without it!

[bcjenkins]

maybe try opera mobile?

[nielm]

Ok, your browser seems to support some javascript, but not enough to make the meny bar work, and enough to convince my code that it does! (I include a whole load of checks for JS version, but not enough it seems. God I hate cross browser web development!)

That page is editable -- edit SageTV/webserver/webroot/sage/menu.html
Remove everything between <script> and </script>
Remove the <noscript> and </noscript> tags.

Fallback menu should work now.

I actually lied about the fallback menu at the bottom of the page. Pre 2005, there was a hardcoded (html) menu which was repositioned to make the menu bar. After 2005, there was some JS code that auto-creates the fallback menu if the main menu fails, and this JS is also failing. The same JS is used to create the items in menu.html, so both were not working...

I am fully aware that the web browser dows not work well on mobiles. I have 3 issues with modifying it: I dont have a pocketPC or Symbian smartphone, and my mobile data tariff is EUR 0.50/100kb, which makes testing expensive, and simple lack of time to create low bandwidth pages!

[bcjenkins]

Nielm,

You could also check out an emulator too, if you were interested.

Note: I don't have a WM6 phone, just a BB.. Maybe should have linked the BB emulator instead!

[UFGrayMatter]

what can I expect if I use:

/sage/MediaFileCommand?command=WatchNow&context=SAGETV_PROCESS_LOCAL_UI&FileName=xxx

AND Sage is minimized to the tray?

Currently nothing happens. Is there a way to get Sage to maximize and then play?
