Current web interface for MP 1.2.1? (1 Viewer)

[mrceolla]

Is there a current web interface that will work with MP 1.2.1? I've found information about web interfaces from years ago but nothing recent. Do any of the old ones still work? If so, which?

Thank you,
Mike

ForTheRecord does.

Big kev's web server still works (with one small fix you need). Has not been updated recently but does the job

Hello,

Thank you for those replies. jameson_uk, is this the web server you're speaking of?

mp-web-interface - A web server and interface for the MediaPortal TV Server - Google Project Hosting

What is the small fix that is needed?

I've seen ForTheRecord mentioned a lot but I don't fully understand how it integrates with MP. Is it seamless? Can I schedule recordings through the MP interface like I do now? Why doesn't MP come with FTR built in if it has a better rules based recording mechanism?

Thank you,
Mike

Personally, 4TR is the single thing I would choose to add to any Mediaportal install if I hd "one thing".
* I use the Client Management Console on my Laptop all the time for scheduling recordings, viewing Live TV, checking the EPG, searching etc. In fact, since its so good, I hardly use the TV interface at all.
* The fact that it comes with a Web Interface is just even better, so I can access my TV Server and schedule programmes from anywhere on the Internet
* THe scheduling aspect is just so much more powerful than Mediaportals.

Hi there,

Each to their own... I find 4TR to be too "complex" and installs alot of stuff that isnt needed... MePo (with certain plugins) achieves 99% of what I need

4TR is not open source, so will never be "added" to MePo.

Ahh, I see. That's too bad. They should work out an 'arrangement'.

I do find MP's advanced recording options a bit lacking, and confusing. It's hard to achieve the desired results sometimes. Perhaps I should read the manual. Or perhaps the options could be more clear so one doesn't need the manual. Or maybe what I want simply can't be achieved. Anyway, that's off topic to this thread so I won't go into it here.

What is the one small fix needed for big kev's web interface?

Are there any others that still work?

I read that MP was eventually going to integrate some sort of a web interface along with gmawebservices and tv4home. But for the life of me I can't find that page again. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, any idea where that info is and when it might be available?

Thanks,
Mike
