Plugin: Web UI for v7

[bikesquid]

Great thanks! Used that in the past, but the options didn't 'stick'... seems to keep what's set now, wonderful.

Why haven't I ever clicked on that options link before? The mind boggles! Where's the tequila?

Try shutting down SageTV (or SageTVService if runinng in service mode), move the nielm_sagewebserver.jar out of the JARs directory, restart SageTV, and retest the web server address. There may also be a runnable class that you added to the SageTV properties file when installing the old nielm web server. If you did, you should probably remove that from the properties file (when SageTV is shutdown)...probably won't hurt anything if you leave it there, but I like to clean up old installs by undoing all changes made during the original installation.

The new plugin system should prevent these things from happening in the future. So, once people get past these minor glitches from their manually installed plugins from pre-V7 SageTV, plugin installs and upgrades should go much smoother

Excellent job robogeek That's right on the money. For future reference (to anyone), there's a wiki page for migrating nielm's web interface from its own server (TJWS) to the Jetty server. Hope that helps.

What a relief, it's such a useful addition and makes things easier for me. I appreciate it, but I do wonder if there's a reason it needs to mixed case, all lowercase would be much more consistent... I can't speak for all sage web apps but both bmt and sjq are accessed using lowercase. At least it's easy to convey... even to the unobservant like me... Just a thought. Thanks again for the help, I'm back in action!

Yes it would be, but that's how it's always been and I'm not going to change it in a minor update. It would end up raising more questions than it would answer.

I am also getting a SageXMLWriter exception


Problem accessing /sage/Home. Reason:
net/sf/sageplugins/sagexmlinfo/SageXmlWriter
Caused by:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/sf/sageplugins/sagexmlinfo/SageXmlWriter

I have tried uninstalling Jetty and the sage web app and then re-installing but keep getting the same error.

I've attached my log if that helps.

I've looked to ensure my JARs are correct and nothing looks out of the ordinary.

You are missing a dependency .jar file for the SageTV Web Server plugin. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the plugin installation or if you manually removed the .jar, but what you need is the nielm_sagexmlinfo.jar file. You can find it in the Library section of the plugin manager listed as Nielm's Sage XML Info. If it's listed as Installed in the plugin manager, try uninstalling it and reinstalling it. If it's not installed, install it from the plugin manager, and then see if the web page loads.

Thanks robogeek, that fixed it!

The JAR was showing up as "installed" in Sage even though it wasn't. I had to do a fake uninstall of the JAR which also meant uninstalling all the web server plugins. I then installed the web UI again and it worked!

Thanks again.

3. Only show "Play in SageTV" and "Play in Extender" commands on Detailed Info page if show is currently airing
4. Support for SageTV Plugin Manager
5. Favorite Automatic Conversions
6. Increase maximum for Favorite Keep at Most from 15 to 63
7. Fixed NullPointerException in RssServlet if media file doesn't have a mime type (defaults to text/plain)
8. Fixed NullPointerException in XmlImporter if the specified directory is not a valid directory on the server
9. Extract war to temp directory in jetty/webapps
10. Adopt conventions for /apps application
11. Change command text from "Cancel Recording" to "Cancel Manual Recording" for clarity

Thanks for the update to an already great interface...

I found a program I was going to quickly add as a favorite but ran into a problem - see below. No means of saving the favorite once configured.

Thanks...

There's more to the error message than what is shown on the screen. Can you look at the page source and see if it has the rest of the error? That would help a lot.

Same problem for me. I get AppleTV in the drop down and then the exception. Page stops there so there is no way to save it.

[jreichen]

jbrandon, thanks that's what I was hoping for. It shows me right where it's happening in the code.

Version 2.28 is now available:

1. Fixed NullPointerException in auto conversion section of Favorite Details page

Tested, problem solved. Thanks!

I know the web UI can read XML files and import recordings into the database but I can't find the definition of the format of the XML file. Can somebody point me in the right direction?

Also, what's available to actually create the XML files? I know the Malore menus can do it but I thought the web UI could as well but I can't find that either

Look for the orange xml icons on the web pages. That should be what you're looking for.

I've run into a minor problem getting XML from the webserver when the tuning device has a # in it.

For example when referencing tuner "Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device #2" this link is generated, "server: port/sage/RecordingSchedule?encoder=Hauppauge%20HD%20PVR%20Capture%20Device%20#2&xml=yes"

At first, I thought the filtered web page has it right because it replaces the # with a %23, but when I change the # to %23 for the XML link, it shows me XML for all upcoming recordings instead of the ones just for that tuner. If you click directly on the XML link, you get a page showing all the upcoming recording with the message: "Error: unknown encoder: Hauppauge HD PVR Capture Device"

I'm assuming the # is somehow being read as start comment because everything after it is being ignored. I realize I could just rename the device. I couldn't find any reference to it anywhere as an issue so I'm asking here if this is a known problem and if there's a way to work around it other than renaming the tuning device.

[jreichen]

The hash/pound symbol is a special character in URLs and is causing problems with the XML generator. I don't have time to look at it right now but I'll add it to my todo list.

So, um.... where can I look (if anywhere) to find my username? I remember my password but seem to have forgotten my username.
