[Methius]

You enjoy that beer!!!

[nielm]

Sorry 'bout that

[abasu2003]

web server...did anybody guess that on the other thread?

you are a star, nielm

[Crim]

Little help understanding?

Say I'm out all day and just remember that theres something on the History Channel that I wanted to watch later that evening but I would be home til much later that night I could fire up any browser and point it to my Sage Webserver's address and schedule it to be recorded?

Just trying to understand how I could use it, I don't check in the forums here much so I'm not too up-to-date on requested features.

again, you blew my socks off. Got something to do this weekend again!

Congrats, Niel!

From the docs, it does not appear that one can control the IP address on which the server will listen -- and thus I'm guessing it's binding to 0.0.0.0. Do you think you could add ability to specify an IP address for a future release?

[Cayars]

So was this a "Highly Requested" feature or what?

Nielm comes up with some pretty cool stuff!

already there:
Sage.properties: nielm/webserver/bind_address

Nielm,

I have everything working pretty well but am on to the customizations.

I am having a little bit of trouble understanding how to link the local files to file links in the Detailed Information.

I want to link it to a local directory on the server, so in the paths.properties file, I have an entry:

D:\tv\=file://localhost/D:/tv


if i click on it, it says I cant' link directly to the URL and i have to copy and paste it. Thats fine. So if i copy and paste it, it directs me to file://localhost/D:/tv, but the local host is the computer accessing the esrver applet, not the actual localhost. what am I doing wrong?

Big thanks, for this one. Both for me persoanlly and for the community as a whole. I think you may have just given me a reason to pull my old Dell Axim PPC out of the dresser draw this weekend. The poor thing has been setting there for monthes. It would be so cool to have it acting essentialy like a super-powered(EPG,recording schedule,etc) SageTV remote.

Sweet! I'll stop asking for features now until after I've had a chance to try it. I should have known that there were more options than those which appeared in the docs -- being that I'm the king of underdocumentation!

Hey, I thought you were going to be drinking beer!

[abasu2003]

Like I said, everythign was working fine for me

except, when I went to Upcoming Recordings, I got:

file://localhost/d:/tv is for when D: is a mapped drive on the web client system...

You need to either map a drive, or use file://server/share/ UNC-style path translations instead
