Plugin: Web User Interface for SageTV 2.2-6.6 (V2.25 18 Sep 2009)

Yup, that was the problem, it had changed from 108 to 101. I am assuming it is because i added a device to my network, cuz it's the first time it has happened in like 6 months. Thanks for stating the obvious problem I couldn't find, lol.

Sign up with DynDNS.com. It's free and it will save you a lot of headaches if your IP address changes frequently. Most routers have a section where they can automatically update DynDNS periodically for you if your IP address changes and to prevent you from getting the "your service is about to expire" messages due to your IP not changing.

If your router doesn't support auto updating of DynDNS then you can get a utility that runs on your computer that does it for you.

Basically you'll get to choose a hostname. Something like "yourname.dyndns.org". And then it's up to you to keep it updated somehow.

No remembering of IP addresses. I signed up years ago and haven't looked back since.

thanks for mentioning that Taddeusz. I forgot to talk about that. There are a couple of dymanicDNS sites out there like dynDNS.com. no-ip.com is another one.

I have my own domain and I use Zoneedit.com to resolve DNS requests for it. I use DirectUpdate to update zoneedit with the correct IP address. And with zoneedit, I can set up URL re-directs (I asume that dynDNS and no-ip can do the same, maybe not with the free versions though) so that I can type in sage.mydomain.com and it'll automatically redirect to home.mydomain.com:8080/sage/home. that way I dont' have to type in the :8080/sage/home stuff.

Zoneedit is free for up to 5 domains and DirectUpdate was a one time $25 charge.

[jreichen]

Sage also recently set up a redirect based on your locator id that you can use to get to your home server. See Jeff's announcement.

EDIT: Fixed link.

[ke6guj]

can you check that link, no good for me.

Is there a legend/index for the marker icons and what they mean?

The SAGETV Setup / Help / Interface guide only has a small subset, and the User Manual doesn't have the icons that I see either.

[BKeadle]

In the Upcoming Recordings page, I select a show(s), choose to Cancel the recording, then on the confirmation page I select the "Perform command" radio button then press the Submit button. This does not appear to cancel the shows, they continue to show in the Upcoming Recordings, even after a referesh. Am I doing something wrong?

Not that I'm aware of.

It only works on manual recordings and I just verified it works for me, are you trying it on a favorite?

[BKeadle]

A) How then should I know what the icons mean?

B) Yes, I'm trying to cancel a Favorite recording that is getting in the way of a manual recording.

Red Circle with A = Favorite (Record All, First Runs and Reruns)
Red Circle with 1 = Favorite (Record First Runs Only)
Red Circle with R = Favorite (Record Reruns Only)
Plain Red Circle = Manual Recording
Square with 1 = First run episode
Square with HD = Hi-Def
Square with W = Watched
Square with A = Archived

Any others, just right click the image in the browser and select Properties, then look at the name of the image. It should be fairly easy to figure out by looking at the name of the image.

B) Yes, I'm trying to cancel a Favorite recording that is getting in the way of a manual recording.

I thought manual recordings automatically override favorites? If you schedule a manual recording that conflicts with a favorite, the manual recording will take priority over any favorites, and SageTV will show the Conflit warning in the header area of the SageTV screen. I don't think you can override a manual recording by conflict resolution without it canceling the recording, so as long as the recording is scheduled it will take priority over any favorites. If you don't care about the favorites that will be missed, then you can ignore those conflict warnings and it will record the manual recording instead of any scheduled conflicting favorites. On a side note... you can cancel a scheduled favorite recording by marking the offending episode as Watched. The downside is that it means that episode won't get rescheduled to record in the future unless you go back after the manual recording is done and clear the Watched flag on that episode.

[BKeadle]

Excellent, thank you Robogeek! The right-click on image, get image name is a good idea - I should have thought of that!

As for the cancel: true, manual would override Favorite as you say. However, from my wife's perspective, it's a "broken" function and confuses her. She's "the keeper" of the recording of the World Cup, and when viewing the upcoming recordings, and see's a Frasier recording, and she goes to cancel the recording, yet it still shows up as an upcoming recording ... you see the problem?

The cancel recording option is meant for manual recordings. There's no way to cancel an individual favorite recording. Like robogeek said, you can mark as watched (or don't like) but that affects all airings of that show. I could change the text to "Cancel Manual Recording" to make it clearer.

[BKeadle]

Thanks for your reply. Just one of those things you gotta know I guess. Yeah, "Cancel manual recording" might make it more clear. However, If a manual recording overrides a favorite, and you view upcoming recordings, why should the favorite, which won't be recorded, show up in the upcoming recordings? Might there be a way to fix *that*?

[jreichen]

At the risk of stating the obvious, if you have multiple tuners then both shows could be recorded at the same time. If that's not the case then it could be a bug in the Sage core because the web interface retrieves the list from a Sage API. Check the recording schedule through a placeshifter/client/extender and see if the favorite also shows up there.

[BKeadle]

Sometime you need to state the obvious.


I hadn't even considered that (duh) and at the moment, don't recall whether there was a schedule conflict or not. Yes, I have multiple tuners and it might be that the Upcoming recordings insisted to record the favorite because it knew it could? I'll have to pay closer attention next time.

[BKeadle]

In my Sage Recordings view, I have 7 pages of listed recordings. However, not all the shows are grouped together. I'll have several shows that have multiple instances like this:

Monk - 4 shows 8.06GB
Seinfeld - 5 shows 5.26GB
<a different page>
Seinfeld - 17 shows 10.00GB
Monk - 3 shows 6.05GB
<a different page>
Monk - 11 shows 22.17GB
Seinfeld - 15 shows 0.00MB

etc.

Why don't these shows only have one folder, with all the shows underneath? The SageMC Client shows them all grouped properly. I've tried initiating a "Rescan Media Library" from the web interface, but that didn't seem to change anything.

I've noticed this too. I'm pretty sure it's because the listings are grouped on the client side and aren't sent there in any particular order. If you would set the items per page to "All", you'd see them grouped as you expect.

[BKeadle]

Indeed! Thank you so much. I prefer that anyway and couldn't find that setting originally.

Hello,

I've been converting media with mediashrink and before SageTV 7 beta I lost very little airing info after the conversion ...

I'm trying to import the XML files generated by Nielm's XML generator, modified with the updated filename ...

I did this in SageTV 6 without troubles ...

The error I'm getting everytime I try today is :

It looks like you're entering a value in the directory text box that is not a valid directory. If you're entering a directory name it must be a valid directory on the server. If you're entering a filename, enter it into the "Upload any Sage XML files here" text box.
