I run deploy.xml from within Eclipse (it might require the web developer plugins, it's been awhile since I set it up). Right click on the file and choose Run As->Ant Script. That will run the default target. If you want to run a specific target, open the file then go to the outline view and right click on the target.

Not that I know of. Java debugging requires starting up the VM with some command line options and I don't know how to pass them to Sage. I debug it by printing messages to stdout.

I've also had some luck using the BeanShell servlet to test code. That allows you to enter code into a web form and submit it to the server. Note that the web server doesn't support WAR files, so you'll need to extract the WAR, install the JAR files into Sage's JARs folder and add the servlet definition to servlets.properties, then restart Sage.

Has anybody gotten this to work on a blackberry? It works fine from a normal web browser but in my blackberry it keeps giving me "error in menu_items.js - check syntax" the images and text load fine but not the menus. I have javascrit support enabled as well as html tables, I have tried emulating IE, Netscape Blackberry browser and internet browser and I keep getting the same message. I also checked the link and it is:8080/sage/Home so it doesn't seem to be the thing with the extra / or Sage instead of sage.

Any suggestions on what might help?

Thanks.

I'm running Sage 6.3.5 on Windows Sever 2k3 (standard) I just installed The web server 2.22 and It works great from the server but I can't get it to remotely work. (for testing) I have the windows firewall (on the server) and the zone alarm (on the remote computer) turned off. I configured my Linksys RVS 4000 router to forward on port 8080 to my Sage sever. However I can't connect to the Sage web server from the remote computer. What am I doing wrong...?

EDIT: Remote admin for my router uses port 8080 but it is disabled

I'd try moving it to 8088 if that's not a problem for you. I was trying to use 8080, even with remote admin disabled, and still couldn't get it to work.

[nettech_gt]

I have the router configured as follows:

Application = http
External port = 80
Internal port = 80
Protocol= tcp
IP = "server's IP"
Enabled = yes

I have tried 8080 for both external and internal ports. I have tried 80 for external and 8080 for internal. I have tried 8088 for external and internal. Nothing seems to work...

[briands]

Whatever you configured as the port when you set it up should be what you use for internal. I would probably try something other than 8080 for your external since maybe your router has "claimed" that one.

Then you need to make sure your link is correct... are you using dyndns or are you just using you IP?

I would start with just using your IP

http://externalIP:External port designated in firewall settin/sage/Home

[mayamaniac]

I'm not sure why nielm chose port 8080 for the default port of the webserver, that's usually taken by the the router's remote admin access. You can change it to a different port by adding or editing this line in the sage.properties file:

nielm/webserver/port=8080

[nettech_gt]

THANX! I was using the inside IP and not my IP from my ISP...DOH!

I am having the same problem that others have mentioned: I can run the Web Server perfectly while on my SageTV Server using "localhost", but once I try to use my home IP Address, it doesn't work (even while on my SageTV Server).

I have removed all software firewalls, disabled Windows Firewall, and mapped the ports of interest through my router to my SageTV Server PC.

Any ideas on what is going wrong?

Try that out, and that should help. Remember also, If your using more than one machine behind a firewall, Make sure you forward the port the the sage computer. Also, it's not recommended that you use DHCP for a machine you want to forward a port to. Try to set it up as a static ip on your local network if possible. Hope this helps.

Ooops ... I figured out what was messing things up last night ...

I have my router set up to statically assign IP addresses to everything on my network, so that I can reliably set up things like SageTV.

My motherboard has 2 Ethernet ports (with nearly the same MAC addresses). Apparently, I had set up my system originally with the other ethernet port, so my IP address was being dynamically assigned. Thus the router was routing the Sage Webserver packets to a device that wasn't connected. Once I changed my router configuration to assign the IP address based on the connected MAC address, everything started working fine.

Cheers!

I'd use this to create an RSS feed of all upcoming first runs for certain channels during prime time for instance.

If this is possible how is it done? If it isn't possible yet could it be added as a feature at some point?

Thanks to Nielm by the way for an excellent add-on for SageTV!

Nielm,
You must be really busy these days - haven't seen you around for quite a while Anyway I hope all is well with you.

I have another feature request in addition to the one above.

Could you add an option under the "recording schedule display options" to view by keyword favorites? My intention for this would be to get an RSS update any time a certain keyword search found a program to record.

Other things that would be nice-to-have:
An easy-to-browse mobile page for iPhone, Blackberry, Blackjack (I apologize if this is already available)

Thanks for the great add-ons!

I'm curious about this as well since it looks like I might end up with a crackberry before too long...

[Todd3835]

I'm having problems on WM6 (The ATT Tilt). Very annoying that I have this nice 500 dollar phone, and I can't even setup recordings on it =[ Either the stuff gets squished, or I it crashes with a javascript browser (Tried Pocket IE, Netfront, Opera and Opera Mini). Anyone had luck with a WM6 device?

-Todd

[rickgillyon]

Opera is usable for me on HTC Touch Cruise. The boxes on the front page tend to not show the program name, but you can click on them to see it. It's never going to be great on a QVGA screen, but I can schedule recordings etc.

[setherd]

I'm trying to import my old recordings (I forgot to backup my sage directory on a reinstall. I lost everything)
I posted a different thread about it here: http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?p=276218

but I am posting my question here about the import.
I installed the webserver and Sage Recordings XML generator.
I thinkthe Sage Recordings XML generator only works if your wiz.bin is accurate because it's only making xml files of shows sage currently has listed as recordings.

I'm trying to import 1 show right now.
this is the info I get on the show "reaper" from the webserver.
I have exported the xml file then try to import it into my recordings by following Bren Evan's guide for doing something similar when importing beyondTV recordings.
each time I try to import I get an error that the file is not a TV show.

my only thought is the show id could be messing up the importer.
under the "edit show info" option I see this from the webserver
(EPGID for TV files must start with 'EP' 'SH' 'SP' or 'MV')

the show id for this episode is MF84603 maybe the importer wants something other than "MF" in the front???


here is the error:

Importing 1 mediaFiles:

skipping Airing ID 79569 for showID MF79566 -- not a TV airing
  =>not updating MediaFile information

Imported 0 mediaFiles

here's the file info:

How would you use that? Just curious.

You would need one of the server resource kits from microsoft and use anysvr.exe to make it run as a service. Google it and you shoulod be able to find some good step by step processes.

I was just trying to show Other files using the tiny webserver. After a change of the alias properties i wanted to restart the Server.
Had no clue how to make that work.
Rebooted My Machine and the other files, pictures and clips showed up fine

Brambo

[gplasky]

Gotcha. Yes-after installing the webserver it will autostart when SageTV starts.
