Web UI in PHP - support thread

[Xmantium]

Hi Mark, Serviio 1.1 is almost finished, hows the progress with your Web UI?

Was hoping you can include this fix - viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5330&start=180#p56821

There are two methods to change the value:
- directly on php.ini
- locally on the code of serviio web ui

For user who dont know how to access their php.ini to turn off magic_quotes, can this done locally on the code?

Glad you asked. I'm almost ready to release the beta. The big items I wanted to do for 1.3 is done and tested. Got a couple UI updates to make, and once that is done I'll release a beta. Would really like to say I'll have it done this weekend, but may first of next week.

Brilliant news! You know im ready for beta testing!! Looking forward to see what you cooked up!

Add Installed Plugins tab? Or just have it as an option under About?

I think its best to have "Plugins Installed" next to "Online Souces" if Online Sources is within the "Library" Tab

Otherwise if "Online Sources" is its own main tab, then a sub tab called "Online Library" and "Plugins Installed"

I think Plugins Installed will become very usefull when finding out if new versions of the plugin is available when versioning become standard to plugins.

Hi Mark, do you think you'll have v1.3 ready before Christmas?

Hi Mark, do you think you'll have v1.3 ready before Christmas?

I'll throw out a beta tonight. Still have some minor visual tweaks, but everything should be working.

Brilliant!! Just in time for Serviio v1.1
Santa has really come early!

Here it is 1.3 Beta. I believe everything works as expected. There are still a few things I'd like to do to the UI, but this should work.

WebUI 1.3beta

Some of the features that are included:
1) ServiiDB.com integration
2) Row selection on the Library tabs
3) Slightly bigger buttons for Tablet users (partial implementation).


Please do not hesitate to alert me of any issues or any additional recommendations (use link in sig).

Merry Christmas!
Mark

Woohoo!!

Edit: I just tried it - LOVE IT!! The ServiiDB intergration is great!!! I like the button placement!
No errors encountered. Presentation save bug is history!

iOS users and NAS/linux users, your in for a treat!

I will make it run on Thecus Tomorrow... and make it avaiable as module for all Thecus Owner

Could I get more details on the issues with Chrome? I'd love to get that working for you.

[Xmantium]

Its working fine for me on Chrome.
The only thing ive noticed, when you add a folder, the option for metadata is disabled, this should be available when video option is ticked.
When i press save, the metadata option is available to tick but user has to save again.

Love the serviiDB feature, would be cool if:
user can select the number of rows shown
user can save the selection of column items

Something I wanted to go back to and correct, but forgot about it. Thanks for the reminder.

I didn't want to scroll, so I just presented the number of rows that would fit in the dialog box and provided navigation buttons.
I can look into adding to the config.php file the default columns if you think that would suffice.

I did a mockup design for the official console, would be great if something like this can be included to "add local" popup- viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8050

Mark i think you need a well deserved break for xmas after this fantastic upgrade!
Thanks once again!

[npuser]

Update is perfect in may ways. Thank you.

Only minor issue i see is the cpu core drop down. Looks like 'Optimal' (could not remember what did say on serviio official console - optimal could be wrong) is missing. If you have that set the webui defaults to 1, i think.

Noticed a bug - when adding from serviiDB, it adds all the source type as "Feed", so "Web resource" items dont work, quick fix is user edits and changes feeds to web resource

The other thing ive noticed, when you item from serviiDB, it shows on the console as disabled when in fact its enabled.

Ive just noticed this, QNAP has refreshed Serviio v1.1 with your amazing web UI for all Qnappers!

With Chrome , when you first add your folder share, for some reason doesnt work. I used Internet Explorer to add one folder shares - worked fine with IE
Chrome then works fine to add more shares, just the first initial one doesnt work

Hello,

I found a very very very small bug - sorry if already reported (I admit I didn't read the entire thread).

The issue appears after a fresh install, when no renderer is spotted by serviio yet - in this case, when opening the first page, you get the following error where the renderers should appear:

  Code:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <webui_root>/lib/serviio.php on line 82

Obviously, as soon as the first renderer is fetched, everything looks normal.

I'm not sure if it has some side-effect on the rest of the code (I don't think so), but I got easily rid of the error surrounding your "foreach" loop with the following "if" statement

  Code:

if (count($xml->renderers) > 0) {
   foreach ($xml->renderers->renderer as $item) {
   ...
   }
}


HTH!

Luca

EDIT: the "if" statement is on renderers into "xml", not into "this" - updated

Am I supposed to do that? How?

This is my issue. I've tested the change and is an easy change. If you need the change now and feel comfortable editing the script, see below. Otherwise, I'll post a full release in the next day or two.

To manually fix this bug, please edit library.php found in the view folder located in the application root folder (under serviioweb). Edit line 164 and change the two lowercase "unlimited" to "-1".

Before:

  Code:

                        <option value="unlimited"<?php echo $serviio->maxNumberOfItemsForOnlineFeeds=="unlimited"?" selected":""?>>Unlimited</option>


After:

  Code:

                        <option value="-1"<?php echo $serviio->maxNumberOfItemsForOnlineFeeds=="-1"?" selected":""?>>Unlimited</option>


Hi Guys,
Installed OK, and was fine for a while, certain I've changed nothing (not even OS updates) and now I can't add or delete Library Folders.
Save looks like it works OK, (saving...Saved!) but when page is refreshed the Folder List hasn't changed.

Have searched this forum for this issue and the log error saying "ConversionException".
Found the note quoted above and made the change as suggested to "-1" but didn't fix it.

Here's the full log entry:
2013-01-03 17:36:50,323 WARN [ServiioStatusService] ConversionException occured. Returning error code 500 to the REST layer. Message: Zero length string : Zero length string

-------------------------------
I can confirm that the installation hasn't changed as I run two nearly-identical boxes and they both are doing the same...and there's no such thing as coincidence! I just checked and both installations are still identical as far as /var/www/serviio and the main pc5dczc_1.01 programs etc directories are concerned.

Ubuntu 12.04.1 LAMP server, with Serviio 1.01 and PHP webUI ver 1.2
Please advise how to debug further.
I would dearly love to find an answer if anyone cares to help, huge thanks in advance.

Thanks
PS - I'm going to do a fresh install on a fresh Ubuntu 12.04.1i dentically just to see if it's that license thing...Will advise.

Hi Guys
Update... 1 new server later.
Not sure how useful it is (maybe we'll see in 15 days when the trial license expires if that was the cause).

Fresh install, using exactly the same process as the other server(s) and it worked 1st time (getting better at this!).
Add Library Folders, remove both work fine.
All values in webui seem to be fine - just as before. At least it proves It worked once...not sure what else!

Will update as & when.
