Summary:
Many users use some form of remote desktop to configure their MP clents and server using the normal configuration programmes, however, this can be an awkward way of working. I was wondering if it might be possible to create a web based configuration tool for MP (covering both the client and server) so that users can change configuration settings from the web browser on a non-MP computer on the network.
Area:
Configuration
Description:
If developed, I envisage the system working as follows:
The "web configuration service" is a seperate part of MP server and client (since it must be possible to change the configuration whilst MP is not running). Each server/client on the network can be accessed individually by their differing IP address, if both the client and server exist on the same PC then there it must be possible to access either configuration area.
The "web configuration service" should be installed as part of MP basic installation and can be turned on/off from within the normal configuration programme (but there is no reason why this can't be developed as a completely seperate plugin).
The user should have access to all the normal configuration options for MP within the "web configuration service" as well as some additional features such as - "Restart MP Client Software" and "Restart TVServer", which will allow the user to test the changes made.
Plugin developers would be able to write addons for the web configuration service to allow their plugins to be configured using this method (to be honest, it is plugins like Moving Pictures, TV Series, Streamed MP (skin), etc that this would be most useful for (on top of the obvious advantages of Tuning TV channels etc).
What do you think - too complicated???
