[rs] Remote Scheduling Portal

Just pushed up an update which should fix the hang following installation.

That seems to have fixed it.

Cured the hang here too. Now on rs 0.3.0-1. No change.

Cured the hang here to. Now on rs 0.3.0-1. No change.

When you use the media browser built into the web interface, does that start you off in /media/My Video on the HD, and does it work ok?

I think you need to specify media/drive1/My Video/ in the script..

Is there not a direct link in /media/? I thought it was /media/Video but it may be the same as the HDR and /media/My Video.

Version 0.3.1-1 adds single item delete support. I'll add support for removing multiple items at once later.

 

[ChrisDaniels]

No you need to specify the drive as you can have more than one plugged in.
Not sure off the top of my head if the HD is just /Video or /My Video like the HDR.

I know on the browse media files webif page it throws me into a dead folder that I need to navigate back from - i've been meaning to tell you about that one and surprised noone has mentioned it.

edit: I've just scheduled a few deletions on my HDR for you.

A big thanks for adding navigation control buttons on the top of RS EPG page, looking good.

Here a bit of feedback:
I currently browse the RS website using my Android Smart phone (Samsung Galaxy S2) which has a screen resolution of 800x480, looks perfect and is easy to navigate and setup events.

The ">> +1 Week" button correctly moves on 7 days from the current time point, I thought the broadcasted EPG was 8 days long so you should see some epg listings for a week ahead, which I assumed was the case.

It seems looking at today's EPG E.g. from Monday (31/10/2011) 12:00 noon, if I click on "+1 Week" then it only (correctly) displays events for the following weeks which is only two close down events, because there isn't any EPG available yet.

Maybe the ">> +1 Week" button should only move to the "start of day", the following week ?
i.e. Mon 07/11/2011 (midnight) (period 00:00 to 04:00) or even Sun 06/11/2011 (20:00 to 00:00).

Not sure (I'm at work at the moment) what the HDR EPG displays if you press the >>| button (jump next day) on the remote 7 times (next week), does it show a full 7 days EPG...

I have made a donation today to fund the cost of running and improving the website (using my old Freeserve e-mail address), very impressive work the team is doing.
Cheers Chris.

Sorry had to go out! The answer is Yes and Yes!

That's good news, thanks. One platform I don't have access to test from.

The ">> +1 Week" button correctly moves on 7 days from the current time point, I thought the broadcasted EPG was 8 days long so you should see some epg listings for a week ahead, which I assumed was the case.

The EPG on the RS website is only (currently) updated once a day, in the morning. Since the clock change it has actually been lagging a day behind - that should be fixed now so +1week from the start shows a full day.

Thanks - that's much appreciated. With 119 devices now registered I've just had to increase the bandwidth package for the server : ) - the latest rs package should use a bit less though.

The sequence from Browse Media Files is:

/media/My Video
/media (xxx GiB)
/media/drive 1 (xxx GiB)
/media/drive1/Video (xxx GiB)

The list of recordings is shown.

I don't usually go down that route as I have the URL of the last page bookmarked, and I access from there.

Edit: Correction, changed v to upper case.

Updated to rs 0.3.1-1. Delete with a dot showing on screen.

It should look a bit cleaner now and just say that there is no data for your device. We'll have to wait for some more information from a HD user before the page works properly for you.

The secquence from Browse Media Files is:

Thanks - that's useful. Is drive1 the only thing under /media ?

Yes.

 

[af123]

Yes.

One last thing then I'll push out a new package - is the video in /media/drive1/video definitely all lower case?

 

[ChrisDaniels]

@af123: If you are going to lock it to drive1 on the HD box, I would also put in a note to say that drive1 must be the drive recordings are made on. Otherwise any files deleted will not free up space for the recordings to take place.

Oops! Sorry, it should be upper case V.

I'm going to do that for now until someone with a HD tells me how to detect the active recording drive. Most people will only have one drive so this will at least get them going.

I had thought that the active drive was mounted or linked from /media/My Video or /media/Video (in a similar way to the HDR) but it seems not.

That should be fixed in webif 0.7.8-1, thanks.
