Put me up for beta testing please ;)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This looks to be exactly what i am looking for. I run an Ubuntu headless server 
with lighttpd + php if you want beta-testers. Clients are mainly mac but i have 
one popcorn hour as well (+a work PC with windoze on it)

Sorry about didn't reading this before... i was really busy with the project 
and i didn't think anyone would be interested yet! :D

I hope you noticed, the source code is now available through svn; there was a 
little bug about the subscriptions, but it should be okay now (so, please 
update svn to r5!).

Tell me more about what are you looking for in this project, because you said 
"clients are mainly mac". The appliance saves all the episodes "there", on the 
server itself, and then you can share that directory through samba or anything 
you prefer. There is no direct download of the downloaded files yet, and i'm 
not sure if it will be ever. The point is not putting the appliance on a zombie 
server somewhere to download your shows, but to download them in your headless 
server at home; that's the reason why i didn't consider (so far) to download 
the episodes.

Anyway i hope you already tried and liked it! :P

If you have any request, please let me know! :)

Hi !

Just checked out R6 from SVN and I am trying to get it running on an Ubuntu 
server.
Followed the readme.

I think you should add the following to the readme:

- Need to create the database for MyTVOnDemand with 
mysql> create database mytvod;

- Need to edit the config.php and update DB connections to your settings 
(username, password and database name) ? Or ?

When i connect to the server i get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function mysql_connect() in 
/var/www/mytv/functions.php on line 18

Since my php skills are highly limited i don't know if it is some php modules i 
am missing or if it actually is an error i am getting??

Please advise.

Kind regards
Beetle

sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb php5-mysql php5-cli apache2 mysql-server 
python-xml

Thank you very much for your beta testing then! :P
So, even after installing the suggested modules, you still have the "Call to 
undefined function mysql_connect()" error? So... first question is always the 
most simple one: have you restarted apache? :P
If you did, i think i'll install a virtual machine with ubuntu and try to 
follow your steps ;)

hi again ! 
thanks for you reply.
i use lighttpd and indeed a restart fixed it.
however, the php scripts assume i install it under my web-server root which i 
haven't. it is installed under 
server/mytv/
all i get now are text menuitems but none of the options work

Yep, this must be really fixed in the code i think :S
So... with your installation, you should have everything in 
http://192.168.1.1/mytv/ but it asks for contents into http://192.168.1.1/, 
right?
I'll try to fix it as soon as i can :P

thank you! :D

thanks !

OK. I moved the app to the webserver root and now i can access it. However i 
get an error when trying to view a show detail (eg. 
http://192.168.1.1/show.php?showid=693) it just says "Unable to connect to" and 
nothing more

Well... there's the release 7 ready to be tested (yeah, it was fast! :P)
Try to update the svn and let me know if everything works now! :)

Anyway Sweden is so cool! :DD

Oh, you already tried then, uhm. Let me think about it, i'll let you know in 
few hours (i won't be at home for an hour or so... be patient please! :P)
Just to be sure, can you wget both:
- http://thetvdb.com/
- http://eztv.it/
?

Let me know it in the meantime, i'll think about it while not being at home :D

[GoogleCodeExporter]

yup, i use a similar application/python-script that does this today. but to be 
very specific i wget to both adresses without any hickup.

and another issue is that when i try to save the configuration (transmission 
parameters) it defaults back to /transmission/rpc/ as address for transmission 
every time. the button for save is mislabeled as "Send" (but in swedish) 
instead of "Save" or "Spara" (swedish)

I think you use pytvshows, the only script i found that really worked until now 
:)

I just fixed the button "send" and the weirdnesses about the transmission rpc 
url (it was correct to add "/transmission/rpc/" after the url, but you should 
see an address!)
Did you enter an address like "http://192.168.1.1:9091" or just the 
"host:port"? Anyway, to make it more clear, i've added a default value for it, 
"http://localhost:9091", just to point it out how to fill that field :)
Another fix is about saying "Unable to connect to <nothing>": now it should say 
what's the address it can't connect to :P

Thank you again :P

(Fixed again with revision 9)

Tested R9. The problem reported is: Unable to connect to /transmission/rpc/. 
Might be a permission issue so i'll try to fix my transmission daemon first

Original comment by orjan.no...@gmail.com on 5 Nov 2010 at 12:06

[GoogleCodeExporter]

In this case, the problem seems to be the in the configuration panel. The 
address must be in this format: 'http://192.168.1.1:9091' or eventually like 
'http://hostname:transmission_port'.

Anyway, before any confirmation, yes, make sure transmission is working and can 
be controlled through a browser (you can connect to it using the address 
'http://192.168.1.1:9091' as in our previous examples).
