Self Contained Web Server / Interface

[stoked]

I'm considering trying MySQL on a remote linux box or maybe even MySQL on the TVServer Windows install. Has anyone tested performance differences?

I have a request. How about making it possible to start/stop predefined (in configuration) programs?

In my HTPC I use MP for recording TV, playing music and watch DVDs. I use Orb for streaming the same, when I'm on holiday.
When MP hasn't been used for 2 minutes it will standby the machine. This isn't good when I'm using Orb, so I've conf'd the Power Scheduler to not standby when Orb is running. This means that I have to VNC to my machine and start/stop Orb. It would be smarter to use the Web-interface for this.

By the way, I wake up the machine from standby with WOL (magic packet).

A long description for a hopefully simple request :-)

Best regards,
Anders

I'm using risu's interface. Is there a way to get it to start in the search screen for example? I don't always need the entire guide, and the guide screen pins my cpu which stops my tvserver from streaming.

You need to edit Risu's Custom\mainmenu.htm, specifically the line

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=showguide"> 

Changing the url= element to whatever you want to appear first, so in your case try changing it to

<meta HTTP-EQUIV="REFRESH" content="0; url=getkeyword"> 

Valid values for url= can be found in Big Kevs (where is he???) default mainmenu.htm

I also wish it wouldn't pin CPU when reading database, Big_Kev is there anything you can do about this? Like poll data in smaller packets? I doubt it's an issue with my current dualcore but I had this issue before upgrading from my old 3500+. Please note that I'm not currently using this interface so I can't really tell the difference. I'm planning to get webinterface back online and update it as soon as I get through my other proglems (currently I can't even watch tv/recordings due bad display drivers from ati).

What comes to your question, yes you can setup it so it starts on search screen or recordings. You need to edit mainmenu.htm from custom-folder. Inside the file there's URL. This URL is NOT html-file, it's instead the name of the link webinterface recognizes. So just change showguide to getkeyword, showrecording, showrecorded or whatever you want and it'll forward you there automatically after login.

EDIT->In other words, just do what cheezey just wrote

Thanks guys! I'll give that try.

Hi,

Does anybody know a way that I can get the web interface to listen only on a specific IP? I want to run this on port 80 but have that port running a different app on a another IP.


Cheers,



Neil.

There's no way to do that with the current setup, Big Kev would have to add that in. Another feature request to greet him on his return.......

Hi all. I have tried to install this on the machine I am running my tv server on and another server I have on my network. Both machines are server 2k3 boxes. The flavor of sql I am using is sql 2005. The sql 2005 server is running on the same machine as my tv server. I created my new database user account in the sql database and it tested fine when I logged on using it. After installing the web server on the same machine as my sql server and tv server, I configured the database page as instructed. I then tested the connection and received an error logging on. The error mentions named pipe provider:could not open a connection to sql server. The other machine immediately generates an error that says the data source name nofound and no default driver specified. I am just new enough to sql to be unsure as to how to proceed. Any insight would be appreciated.
