Webinterface plugin (3 Viewers)

Here is the response:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<string xmlns="http://tempuri.org/MPECP2WS/ECP2WS">TV|College Football on 29 ESPN (5:00 PM - 8:30 PM)|03:30:00</string>

I think that means it worked, since that is what I was watching at the time.
What should I do next?

Are you using the new TV Client/Server configuration? Because it won't work with that.

If not, try clicking the RefreshRecordings link in the web service page you used before. Tell me what it says. If it works, it should say True.

I'm using mp 0.2.2.0, but i had the problem with 0.2.1.0 as well.
It said "true" so I think that worked as well. I wanted to be sure that the problem still exists so I just tried again to set something to record that started at 6:45 (it was 6:40 when I said it) and it isn't recording - so the problem does still exist.

That is weird... the showI set to record at 7pm did just start recording... mayb the problem is solved????? I don't get it, but I am just going to go with it and if I have problems I will be back. Thanks for taking the time to help me out - I really appreciate it!

pfunk1914:

It sounds like the calls to the RefreshRecordings function aren't always successful for some reason then. Good to know its working in the process. The whole thing is due for an overhaul anyway to support the new client/server configuration, so it'll be fixed if it turns out to be an issue.

Hi,

I have installed the web interface and it seems to work great within my network. I have been trying to figure this out for a while now with no luck. I can access the WebInterface from both the mediaportal machine and another computer in my network. I can also access it from my dynamic dns name from a computer within my network ( I am assuming since I am accessing it from my dyndns.org name it is looking to the router to port forward to the media center, When I have port 81 it works but when I disable it, it wont load. Which makes sense)

The problem I have is when I go to a computer outside my network, a freinds house or work media portal web will not load (will not even prompt for a password). I have configured my router to port forward port 81 and 3334 (wasnt sure if I had to do this one) to my media portal box. Am I missing something?

Thanks in advanced

Hi 2hype,

well, this all sounds good to me. The only thing I can mention is that port 3334 doesn't need to be forwarded to your MP PC. Everything else sounds good.

The only thing I could think of is some kind of firewall that blocks all incoming requests but those from your LAN. But sorry, this is my only idea right now...

I have a Streaming MP3 media server running on my media portal box on Port 80 which works fine from the outside of the LAN. Is it possible Apache is blocking external IP Requests. I looked at the httpd in apached and notice there were lines like Deny from All, Allow from 192.168 Allow from 10, - so I added the Allow from all to see if that would change anything with no luck.

It does not make sense to my why it works internally but not externally.

All my home network consits of is Internet --- Wireless Dlink Router and wireless to my Laptops and my Media Portal Desktop.

I am at a loss. As far as I can think MediaPortal WebInterface should be installed correctly if it works from inside the lan and on the media portal box itself. Web remote works and it controls the mediaportal box.

Mabey I should Install IIS and try to run it from there? Not sure how hard that is going to be. I know how to install IIS and setup Webpages/permissions. I have never used Apache before so I am not sure if that could be the cause of this.

a little off-topic but how's new webinterface plugin progressin'?

I tried to install MPW (thanks to creators!)

I installed everything, changed the snapshot.asmx file as said, let the service interact with desktop.

As result, now I can see the snapshot locally and in the intranet, but MP is not recognized (although I followed step by step the instruction given in the actual thread) and so I can't use webinterface. Obviously the plugin is running in mp.

In the asked GetCurrentlyPlayingItemDetails I get

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MPECP2WS.ECP2WS.GetCurrentlyPlayingItemDetails()

And in RefreshRecordingsInMP

System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
at MPECP2WS.ECP2WS.RefreshRecordingsInMP()

Should I attach any log?

Thank you for your replies!
