Web UI in PHP - support thread

Will this run on nginx or lighttpd?

I haven't tried it, but if the PHP requirements are present then I don't see why not. If you happen to give either/both a try, would love to hear the results!

I can confirm it runs great on lighttpd

Is the 1.3 version on Github ready to go or is it still a WIP?

Definitely work in progress. I guess I should have branched it for the 1.3 version. My apologies for the confusion. Still got some work to do before I release it. Definitely making progress.

Can't wait to try it!

Hello everyone,

I found a solution to the presentation tab problem.
The issue was in magic_quotes PHP parameter, that must be set to Off. Probably some NAS (like my QNAP) have this setting to On in the default configuration.

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

The second method requires that you create a .htaccess file in web_ui/code folder and put this directive into it:
php_value magic_quotes_gpc "Off"

Hope this helps.
Bye!

Been waiting for a solution to this bug for a very long time!
I'll try it tonight, thanks!

The .htaccess fix worked for me! (QNAP TS-219P+)

Reading this - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_quotes

Think it's best to disable magic quotes at system level

I agree.
Anyway, the method with .htaccess can be a quick solution and, if integrated inside the downloadable package, will make the code work in every scenario.

Looking forward to the integration of serviidb.com ! Do you think it will be out in time for the 1.1 release, around Christmas?

Oh definitely. I've got a lot of it done already.

Mark is it possible to have Online sources it's own main tab, since I mainly use the web UI to add or change online content and with ServiiDB integration coming in, think it deserves it's own main tab. ServiiDroid does this as well.

I asked zip to also do this with the official console but there's too little room. But the web UI has plenty of place even on my tablet.

Even better a user option to switch it dynamically between main tab or sub tab in Library tab

I could look into making this an option.

Add it to my github feature requests.

Hi guys,

Well, things have been working really well with my setup. I decided to upgrade Serviio to 1.0.1 and updated the WebUI in PHP to match.

I also recompiled my FFMPEG as I was having problems getting the mediabrowser to work - and all was fine.

However, the trial part of Serviio has expired, and since that I have been unable to edit, add or remove playlists from my online sources.

The feeds themselves are working, but it appears that communications for this feature between the web console and the server aren't communicating properly.

I've checked the Serviio log (detailed logging is on) and I can't see anything amiss - I have had to scour these before to work out problems with FFMPEG and I'm not getting any error messages relating to Online Sources except for a few ILive sources timing out.

Anybody else experienced this?

My setup is as follows:

Ubuntu 12.04LTS Server (headless)
Web UI in PHP
Apache, PHP5, libCurl, libXML all installed and working
Licence just expired
Unable to modify online sources with web ui

Any help appreciated!

Cheers

Edit - The same thing happens with local sources too, I get a feeling anything I update on the console is not being saved - despite the console giving me the 'Saved' response when I click the Save button. When I refresh the browser after saving, the change I thought had applied has disappeared. This has all started happening since the trial period for Pro has expired. Do you think this could be linked or have I added 2 and 2 and come up with 5?

I'm beginning to think if you are planning on staying with free Serviio, you would be better off with 6.2 . I have upgraded as well and I have seen a lot of interesting problem due to the lack of a license.

There is certainly no intention of catering to licensed users. I've made every effort to code WebUI to work for all users - licensed or unlicensed. I was unaware of an issue with 1.0.1 and the latest WebUI but will certainly make every effort to recreate lmd's issues.

I've been working heavily into the upcoming release of WebUI and I'll be sure to take the extra time to ensure it works with all licenses.

Cheers!

Sorry you are having troubles. I'm wondering if there is a scenario when the Pro trial period expires that may be different than having no license (which is how I tested it). I'll recreate your config and see if I can find the issue.
Cheers!

Hi Mark, are you going to make separate versions for Serviio 1.0.1 (bugs fixed) and for 1.1?

Hi Mark, are you going to make separate versions for Serviio 1.0.1 (bugs fixed) and for 1.1?

It would be beneficial to have a single version to maintain, so that is my intent. What drives it is API changes and the ability to code around differences. Kudos to zip who has done a great job trying to keep the API backward compatible.
