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

[jbanera]

Has anyone tried the latest neilm webserver with a Windows Mobile Pocket PC? I don't seem to be able to access the menu bar at the top (it is not even visible) and text links are not visible at the bottom of the page anymore, so really the only thing possible to do is view what is currently playing/recording and how much space is left! Is this a limitation with Pocket IE now with the new code of the webserver?

I was afraid this might happen with the new menu stuff
Workaround for the moment is to delete these lines from index.html in SageTV/webserver/webroot/sage:

<script lang="JavaScript">
<!--
	window.location.replace("Home");
-->
</script>

It will mean that you fall back to a non-javascript html menu (menu.html) that you can edit to add all the missing stuff (sorry!)... The Sage icon on the title of every page should take you back to this basic screen..

Do you have anywhere I can find out what level of JS that pocket IE supports?

Sorry Nielm but the menu_items.js syntax error is back. What gives?

This time I even turned off the Microsoft Antispyware but no difference.

If you have not modified it, I can only guess at problems with your browser/firewall/proxy....
Which browser/OS?

Try downloading the menu_items.js separately and save to disk and see what happens... If you can compare it with the version in the zip file that might be interesting...

http://address:port/sage/menu_items.js
Also make sure that you are accessing your sage box using:
http://address:port/sage/
or
http://address:port/sage/Home
but not with a trailing '/':
http://address:port/sage/Home/

Do you also have problems with background images loading?

[jimmyb]

Thanks again Nielm. Difference was between ......sage/home/ and sage/home with the later being right.

This is fantastic - as are most of the customizations I've seen.

Though it seems as though there may be an undocumented
web server in V4.0. There is a "webserver_port" property
(not the nielm one) which defaults to 80, and something is
definately listening to it.

When I browse there, I get "BAD REQUEST". I guessed at a few
URLs, but get BAD REQUEST everytime. I saw nothing about
it in the documentation, or in these forums.

Anybody know what this is?

[ke6guj]

It is for the "upcoming" webserver support that Sage has mentioned.

I have seen "webserver_port=0" since the V3 betas. Its getting there but aparantly not finished yet.

[cmaffia]

Haven't tried the new version since I had a bad experience with 2.2
Has everything been sorted out now with the 2.3 release?
Any pitfalls that would keep me from upgrading.
I like the speed and reliability of 1.6.
Thanks

I need a little bit of help getting it to run in SSL mode.

In the Wiki documentation, it says to:

Set the property nielm/webserver/port=8443
Set the property nielm/webserver/ssl_args= with arguments from the following list
-keystoreFile (default %HOME%/.keystore
-keystorePass (default 123456)
-keystoreType (default JKS)
-algorithm (default SunX509)
-clientAuth (default false)
-port (default 8443)
-protocol (default TLS)
-backlog (default 1000)
-ifaddress (default none)


There is no sample provided for the ssl_args= command-line.

Can somebody please confirm that the below syntax is correct?
ssl_args= -keystoreFile %HOME%/.keystore, -keystorePass 123456

Also, the web pages I go to that are secure use port 443. Why is the
default port set to 8443? If I set it to 443, can I point my web browser to:

https://localhost/sage/Home

I'm guessing when typing HTTPS in the web browser, its not needed to also specify a port #. Right?

Thanks in advance!

Great update, a lot of nice features. Thanks for all the hardwork, nielm.

Are there any special settings I need to set to get Media Library stuffs to work? Neither WMP, QT, nor VLC plays. It doesn't work on Music and Pictures either. When trying to watch or view a file, nothing happens. VLC opens in the browser, but no picture or sound. Same goes for Music. For pictures, I click on View and I get an Error 404.

I'm not running SSL or HTTPS, just regular webserver. Are there certain ports that needs to be opened on the firewall side? Everything else seems to be working, just all the media stuffs aren't working. Any ideas?

[AndyS]

Sorry if this has been raised already - I did a search but couldn't find it.

The install went fine - everything basically seems to work properly and I can stream audio and video without a problem.

I went into the EPG and clicked on a show that is currently being recorded. I got the following message "Unknown airing/media file ID passed".

Any ideas?

Andy.

It should be automatic
Things to check:
You are running it on the server (not a remote client)
When you unpacked, you updated Sagetv/webserver/servlets.properties (it should contain at the last 2 lines:

servlet./sagepublic/MediaFile.code=net.sf.sageplugins.webserver.MediaFileServlet
servlet./sagepublic/PlaylistGenerator.code=net.sf.sageplugins.webserver.PlaylistGeneratorServlet

Whats the URL that is generating the 404 error?

Congratulations: You have found a NEW BUG!!
You prize is: a free upgrade (please allow a few days for delivery!

I am confused. I thought if we have Sage TV Services running we could access Sage thru the Webserver without having Sage running?

[mkanet]

Any chance somebody could please help me?

Who said you couldn't? This is how mine is setup. Just running Sage service and I access the Webserver and mark programs to record all the time, see what is recording, etc.

[jimmyb]

Thanks for your reply Gerry. That is what I thought I USED to do. Now what would cause it to stop? I can only log on when Sage is runing or sleeping.

[gplasky]

Are you sure you running the service? Do you have it logging in with a user and a password and NOT as a local service? If you log in as a local service did you tell the service it can interact with the desktop? I have user name and password and no issues.

After upgrading to version 4.1.3 the menus of the web server do not work anymore. I only get a message "error in menu_items.js: check syntax". I checked the file and it looks okay to me. Is there anybody else having this problem?
