Webinterface plugin (2 Viewers)

[STSC]

Hi Sam,

thank you for your answer. I made it working now. I could do that when I disabled IIS manually and then installed the service with apache_installservice.bat. (But anyway it doesn't know command "END" in the batch file )
I'm still wondering why this hasn't worked with the installer.

BTW: OmniSecure is way not that good like Apache, so I wouldn't have used OmniSecure anyway.

You yould just set another port to either Apache (httpd.conf) or IIS. So one has the original 80-Port and the other one has 81 oder something.

In Web-Browser you just entder http://host:81

Yeh, thing is, the web service is served by Apache as well, so and its path is hardcoded to http://localhost/MPExtControlWS in the PHP web interface code. Two options - serve the web service using IIS on port 80, or change the PHP code to reflect the new port, e.g. http://localhost:81/MPExtControlWS.

Web Interface is working great. However I have no channel icons. I've read through the posts in this thread and didn't see any clear explanation of how to get the channel icons to show up in the web interface. I think I may have missed something but any help would be appreciated. Also are there any good places someone can point me to to get higher quality channel icons? As of now I've just been using the xmltv icon grab. I live in North America if that is of any need.

www.satlogo.com...the problem is that you must save the icon one at time... :?

The webinterface plugin simply uses the tv logos that you set in MP. So if the logos appear in MP, they appear in the web interface.

To get the logos to appear in MP, place the logo icon file in the mediaportal\thumbs\tv (or something similar) with the name of the tv station. It is preferable if they are png files, but if they aren't simply tell the web interface of the different extension. They all need to be the same file type though.

How do you recomend I leave MP running on a dedicated PVR box with no monitor or TV, if Im using your web interface for recording shows? I've tried leaving MP in the menu and in 'My TV', it picks up the next show if it was added before MP was started, then the next show wont start unless MP is exited and then restarted.
The next shows are already marked in the 'TV Guide' to be recorded but wont record unless MP is restarted.

It would be great to leave MP in a console state (like setting up Quake2 as a dedicated sever.. :lol: ), -ie no graphics, just a prompt and logs (black and white) for less processing. A PVR shouldnt need a monitor, just VNC if you need to see the console, which works a treat!!

Thanks for you efforts!!

Whoops, that's my fault. Well, sort of. In MP, the function to tell MP to refresh its recordings list changed names between version 0.1.0.9 and 0.1.0.10. The current webscheduler version called the function by its old name, and because it doesn't exist, it didn't work.

The fix is to download this file:
http://members.dinkum.net.au/plai33/ECP2Beta3.zip. Now, copy the ECP2Assembly.dll file from the ECP2Assembly\bin folder in the zip file and place it in your mediaportal folder, overwriting the existing one. Make sure MP is not running when you do this.

This is a newer version and should fix the problem.

Port Change - How to?

Sam,

Could you elaborate on how to change the php files to allow for a port change of the web server? I have another webserver running on another server, and I am reluctant to change as it means WAP access will not work as intended.

My preference would be to run MP Web on port 81 for example. I know there is a change required for httpd.conf in apache, but what are the other files and where in those files does it need to change?

Change httpd.conf, and this line in functions.php in mediaportal\MPWebcontrol\htdocs\webscheduler:

$wsdl_url = 'http://localhost/MPExtControlWS/service.asmx?WSDL';

to

$wsdl_url = 'http://localhost:<port number>/MPExtControlWS/service.asmx?WSDL';

replacing <port number> with the new port number.

That should be it. BTW, port 3334 needs to be free on the computer as well (for MP communication).
