Play on extender

traker1001 · #1 10-06-2009, 01:22 AM

Howdy,
I installed the webserver on the latest copy of sage. Everything works great with one exception. Can someone tell me how to set it up so I can "Play on extneder"? You know I am looking to use the webserver to change the channels or start a movie on my HD200's.

Any help is great, as there is so much info floating around I can't seem to grasp whats old and whats new.

@@Edit
I basically got the web-remote working, However, anytime I hit play on extender I get an error message like:

type:MediaFileId id:173863 --java.lang.Exception: airing Id not found

Well let's think of what we're doing. We're using a web-based remote just like we were sitting in front of it. So if Sage is just powered on the extender you would need to
1) Click the enter button to go into Sage Recordings.
2) Click the down arrow one or two or multiple times to pick a recording
3) Click the play button and now the recording will play.

So if you're trying to help someone over the web and phone they need to tell you where you're at. It's not like you can see what you're doing. You're just blindly opearating a remote in front of an extender.

Ok here is the deal.
I am localy trying to use the Nielms webserver to control the extender.

Web remote really has nothing to do with it, I was just stating it works and sends commands so it isn't a physical communication issue.

If I select a music file or video I have on my local network already and hit "play in extender (Name)" The extender ques it up an plays autmatically.

The same goes for any recordings I have made, be it thru favorites or manual recordings.

However, If I goto the guide, select a show that is currently "Live" and hit "play in extender (name)" I get the error "type:MediaFileId id:173863 --java.lang.Exception: airing Id not found"

Now I have seen thru searching similar errors from other people, However, I yet to see a solution.

For what it matters, My server is xp pro running in client mode not server mode. I have the latest Java on it, I have attempted to completely remove and re-install sage, Java and the webserver. I have not yet tried upgrading to the new JET version of the webserver.

Any help would be awesome.

Well, I tried the Jetty version and there isn't a difference, I get the same error.

I finally reproduced it. I'll take a look at the code and see what it will take to fix it.

sounds like it needs to start the recording first. Perhaps if you tried clicking on record in the guide, and THEN try watching it? You may then be able to hit cancel recording, and it will probably still work. This may very well end up bing the workaround that needs to be built in anyways.

This does work, However, I would rather not have to create and cancel a recording everytime I want to do this.

jreichen, I appreciate your looking into this. If there is anything I can do to help, just le me know.

Howdy,
In messing with the commands I figured out the answer I think.

When I hit play in extender this is the url that is posted.

http://sagedvr/sage/MediaFileCommand...aFileId=180482

Code:

http://sagedvr/sage/MediaFileCommand?command=WatchNow&context=001d6a5cc9b5&MediaFileId=180482

context of course being my extender, However MediaFileID confused me as there is no mediafile to process.

So I change the post from MediaFileID to AiringID and bingo, It jumps to the channel.

Code:

http://sagedvr/sage/MediaFileCommand?command=WatchNow&context=001d6a5cc9b5&AiringId=180482

**EDIT** Well, I looked into the webserver a little more and it requires more skill than I have to figure out what to change than I have. Hopefully someone can help me out, Even just tell me what file I would need to look at would be a start.

Your answer is right. I fixed it and it will be in 2.26.

I just uploaded 2.26 snapshot build 30 to SourceForge that includes this change. The files aren't visible yet but should show up shortly.
