[WebService] General Media Access Webservice (1 Viewer)

[Shukuyen]

if you are into new projects guys i would love the functionality of WifiRemote but in the form of a web service like tv4home/gmawebservices, much easier/reliable to work with than tcp.
Maybe i give it a try but so little time

Socket connections have some advantages over http services that are necessary for WifiRemote. Please don't hesitate to ask questions in WifiRemotes forum thread if something is unclear or if you are having difficulties.

My "problems" were mostly related to parameters and possible values for those (order, sort, ..), but I only touched the surface yet.

This will be changed in the next version, it's obviously caused by the fact that we use a global enum for all kinds of sorting but since not all media types have the same data we can't sort always like the chosen enum value.

As a result i will switch those to media specific enums(which are only visible in SOAP access) but with json numbering in mind(e.g. sorting movie by dateadded is parameter 1 so it will be 1 also for music and tvshows)


BTW:
If you have any suggestions to the api design feel free to write me a pn(for example for wlm addy), join the irc channel or add an issue @ mpexteded.codeplex.com

Another problem with this is that you need admin rights to run a WCF service which you don't have in a MP plugin like WifiRemote.

AW: [WebService] General Media Access Webservice

i have the problem, that GmaWebservice doesn't start with windows.
Error message :
1. "Das Zeitlimit (30000 ms) wurde beim Verbindungsversuch mit dem Dienst GmaWebService erreicht."
2. "Der Dienst kann nicht gestartet werden. Der Dienstprozess konnte keine Verbindung mit dem Dienstcontroller herstellen"

I need to start it manualy, anybody else got this problem?
In the windows service configuration the start type is set to automatic, but it doesn't work :-S

 

[Oxan]

It should work automatically (and it does for me). Are there any events in the event log? Under which user do you run it?

Is there any new about supporting MyFilms? Should I ask for any change on MyFilms side to make it possible?
Thanks

In the new MPExtended project we've added support for plugins that add new backend support. So someone has to implement a plugin (chances that I'll do it are quite slim). Join us on IRC in #mp-extended on freenode or send me a PM if you want more details on how to implement a plugin.

Hello,

Im new to this program.
I have the ampdriod working, but when I click on the video option(top right) all I see is a new screen with no listing of anything in it.
What do i need to do to make my videos show?
Do I need to change any code?

[Oxan]

The video option lists all your shares, as defined in the MediaPortal configuration. Do you them configured?

Check that the account the service is running under has access rights to your videos directory.
Also, if you're using remote shares, use unc paths instead of mapped drive letters, i.e. \\server\share instead of z:\
