[webif] Web interface

Can somebody please clarify.
When using "Web-If MAIN >> BROWSE MEDIA FILES >> Save Last Streamed Content"
What constitutes the content. Eg is it everything watched in the last end to end session (from when tv portal is pressed until exit is pressed) or something else?

It would save the last programme watched from BBC iPlayer, or the last video watched on YouTube.
 
Thanks Brian.
So if I use iplayer to watch two program's, one after the other, I will need to trigger "save last stream ..." before starting the second program and again after watching it.
 
Just freed up 150gb by running the de-duplicate for the first time on the kids shows. wow thats really impressive. Have moved them all into a folder called 'all kids' and hoping that the series flateen works. I've also set the auto dedup at the top level folder - or should be on each series below?
 
I have mounted the HDR to the HD and need to ensure my recordings are decrypted (ongoing) as quickly as possible after the recording is finished.
Which would be the best method to use - unencrypt package or the WebIf enable auto-decrypt feature. I can see how the unencrypt package would work but what about the WebIf feature - how often does it run, etc.
Thanks.

If you want everything decrypted, I'd use the unencrypt package and modify the crontab file as others have done. The Webif auto-decrypt checks for work every 5 minutes but you have to enable it on a per-folder basis and it isn't recursive (i.e. it doesn't automatically process folders one level down from the one you flag).

You'll need to set up the auto-dedup on each folder underneath in turn. None of the web interface auto features are recursive. Sorry I somehow missed your post!
 
Feature request: in the media details when one clicks on a file in the media browser, add a list of the files in that set.
 
I've been poking around the packages list on my HD-FOX (being as it has an aerial now!), and I have a few comments:
  1. The text for wireless-helper is truncated.
  2. The text for virtual-disk has been superseded by more recent developments (and while I like the longer explanation is out of keeping with the rest of the table).
  3. For installed packages, would it be possible to indicate why they are there? I realise (for example) nicesplice has been added to support the WebIF, but it was initially a surprise. It might also indicate that it can be removed if you don't want the facility.
  4. Can it be avoided that when you click install for a package (and presumably uninstall for installed packages) and then close the status pop-up the page does not refresh to the upgrades tab?

I'll fix those when I get a minute. The first one seems to be something to do with the package itself..

I'm not sure whether that information is maintained by the packaging system but I'll investigate. Nicesplice is indeed a dependency of webif

I think you need more coffee : ) Either that or you've been doing the same US company's technical exams as me where double and treble negatives are the norm!
(Yes, that one has been on my todo list for a while and I will bump it up.)
 
Yeah. I've got this problem with .hmt files being reported missing, but you can't check through the WebIF browser because it only lists the primary filename and does not individually list the suite of files contributing to it.

So my idea is to either expand the list via a + button by the file listing, or identify them in the info panel.
 
I've been meaning to revisit package management for some time so it's nice to have that part restructured. It should make implementing any further suggestions much easier.

0.9.13 (03/08/2012)

  • When clicking on a recording in the media browser, show the files which are associated with that recording in the popup window. Click the + icon for more details;
  • Package management no longer refreshes the page after upgrading, installing or removing a package;
  • Package management enforces only one package operation at a time;
  • Package management shows 'Info' link against installed packages which shows dependencies;
  • Improvements to the in-browser playback using the VLC plugin;
  • Fix problem with automatic background tasks and folders containing [] in their name;
  • Reduce chance of errors with current recording status panels;
  • Change some more instances of squeeze to shrink.

This seems wrong a lot of the time for me - even with the new update, it says I'm watching 105 Red Button (which is my overnight choice) rather than BBC1 (which has been on for the last hour).

Update: this morning it claims to be recording Moonraker and playing another file (which ended hours ago and has played another file since), when actually it is idling as a media server and tuned to 105.
 
I think I've hit an "unintended consequence".

I have a radio recording xxx.ts in my [AUDIO] folder. Operating entirely within the WebIF, I perform an Extract Audio operation, so now I have xxx.ts and xxx.mp3. Then I delete the xxx.ts, which gets sent to the [Recycle Bin] leaving just xxx.ts. OK so far.

Now, "xxx" is actually a long string including the recording date and time, so I want to change it to "yyy". I do an OPT+ Rename (still in the WebIF), rename it - and the file vanishes from the [AUDIO] folder. Thank AF for undelete (although it might be the cause), I go to the [Recycle Bin] and find xxx.ts and xxx.mp3 in there.

So I tick xxx.mp3 and click "cut", but nothing happens. Then I try OPT+ "Cut to clipboard", which works. Return to [AUDIO] and paste - and both xxx.mp3 and xxx.ts are back (presumably gathered up because they have the same file name).

Then I thought I would try renaming xxx.mp3 before deleting xxx.ts - but they both renamed to yyy.mp3 and yyy.ts. However, deleting the yyy.ts leaves me where I want to be. Correction - having refreshed the various listings, yyy.ts and yyy.mp3 are in the [Recycle Bin].

In summary, I think there are various operations that are acting on xxx.*, whereas they actually need to operate on xxx.ts, xxx.hmt, xxx.nts, and xxx.thm if and only if the principle file is a .ts.
 
You may be interested in the rec2mp3 utility which I have used for many years to convert radio recordings from my Topfield PVR to mp3 format to put on my mp3 player. The author recently changed it to also work on the .ts files you get from the Humax as well as the *.rec files from the Topfield. Essentially they are the same format with just a different extension.

The rec2mp3 utility comes with a batch file so you can get it convert all the recording in one folder on your computer in one go.
