Pure Web Remote Control or Listening Audio with switched off TV

[hakank22]

The bits are located in the root of the USB drive. Will try to examine if the USB name matches the actual mount name. But not until tomorrow I'm afraid. I be back with the result. Meanwhile, thanks!

Mystery solved. The USB stick was NTFS formatted. A new try with a FAT32 formatted stick made the trick.

Thanks for a great app!

A request for enhancement. As I always completely shut down my PH (remove power) I have to logon by telnet and run poweroff to make a clean shutdown without corrupting the file system. Would it be possible to have a link on the Remote Control doing exactly that?
Thanks,
/Håkan

That's a really nice idea. +1

Hi,
First of all, thanks for the application, it is a great help for me, since I have no TV !
I have a A-210 and met no problem, it works perfectly.
Some questions/suggestions :
- Recognition of ogg, oga, ... I think there is a filter that only recognizes mp3 et m3u ?
- Is it possible to get to the PHP source ? In order to adapt few functions and share enhancements ? (it is not an open source program ?)
- For instance, I'd like to have two URLs, with two css linked, in order to have a skin adapted to the iPhone, with large margin in order to click with a finger, and more classical and compact one for laptop.
- I made a CSS adapted to the iPhone, not very beautiful but functional, with larger spaces : is there a place to share this ? on the Wiki page dedidacted to the Web remote control ?
Thanks again,
Stéphane.

>Is it possible to add "Play all subfolders" and "Play all subfolders (shuffle)" ?

Technically possible, I considered the option initially, but….. how could it be without “buts”….
The subfolder tree can be deep, so walking the tree would take unpredictable time, the time of “no response” for PWRC and the entire device. Inventing an option for limiting the subfolder depth arises too many problems at once, where the option can be stored, should it be per-user, how to identify the users if so etc. So PWRC complexity would arise significantly just because of the option. The solution I could offer is playlist, so just generate a playlist for subfolder playing and invoke the playlist. I saw many various “dir /o:n /b *.mp3 > Playlist.m3u” on the internet for that purpose.


>- Recognition of ogg, oga, ... I think there is a filter that only recognizes mp3 et m3u ?

Ogg is ogg vorbis? No problems if so. What is oga? A music file or a playlist?
I believe the tank can play the both natively?

>- Is it possible to get to the PHP source ?

It’s not an open source application.

>- For instance, I'd like to have two URLs, with two css linked, in order to have a skin adapted to the iPhone, with large margin in order to click with a finger, and more classical and compact one for laptop.

I would suggest a JS with browser type analysis and switching the styles accordingly.

> I made a CSS adapted to the iPhone, not very beautiful but functional, with larger spaces : is there a place to share this

There are 2 placeholder (pwrc.css and pwrc.js in /nmt/apps/web/) loaded by the main pwrc.php script.
The classes for the tags in the resulting html shown to the user are strictly specified.
Do you have any specific question?

1/ Yes : Ogg Vorbis extensions are : .ogg, .ogv, .oga, .ogx (I only tested ogg et oga with success on nmt).

2/ I meant I could share my CSS with anyone who wants it

Thanks for all your answers !

1.8 uploaded. Please try it ASAP and let me know. I had no proper time to test myself.

>2/ I meant I could share my CSS with anyone who wants it

I could suggest 3 places for that
- this thread or a separate thread at the forum
- the related wiki page update. Just add the appropriate links/instructions yourself.
- If you could give me a permission to re-distribute (please use the contact form on the download site to contact) I could put the CSS and the instructions on the main download page.

Hi,
First of all, really sorry for the delay !
I installed the current version and tested today, all works perfectly ! (ogg & oga)
Thanks for the enhancement.

[Warden]

Second time lucky !
just managed to post this in the wrong thread.


Many thanks for your hard work.
Unfortunately I can't seem to access from a mobile ?
("web page not available")
Just upgraded to a xperia arc (android), Thought this was the answer,
as my previous blackberry also wouldn't connect.
It works fine from my desktop, & notebook.
I've gone through all the browser settings on the Arc, but can't see anything obviously wrong.

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

The problem seems not PWRC related at all.
The problem is rather related to the entire tank connectivity from the mobiles.
You can try http://theTankIP:8088 (myihome server directly), the results will be the same probably.

Most probably your mobile network connectivity is performed via mobile internet provider and the tank is not visible from the providers network (or the entire internet).
The IP address assigned to the mobile could help to determine whether the tank and the mobile belong to same network directly.
So please try to connect the mobile directly to the home (where the tank connected to) network via WiFi (for instance) first.
If it’s not possible and the mobile is internet connected via the cell provider you can arrange worldwide connectivity to the tank. You will have to configure your home router (gateway/modem/etc) to forward 8088 port of the tank to a worldwide available port and connect (from the mobile) as http://yourPublicIP:TheWorldwidePort/pwrc.php. The feature is called PortForwarding
However do take care about the security, the tank will be available for any computer/device in the world if so

Files with the following extensions give problems. The files itself are not seen, but besides that all other files and folder and not displayed too.

.iso
.img (Could be renamed to iso, the c-200 plays it then too)

I have some dvd iso's which have these extensions. So now my Video folder is completely empty, because of some .iso files.

How can you or myself fix this?

Oh btw. I see you can use .js and .css but is it also possible to change the layout of the webgui?

[pompon]

>.iso etc
PWRC was initially developed for listening AUDIO with TV switched off. Why do you need controlling VIDEO with TV switched off (with PWRC) if you have the TV switched on?

Well, I will try to check. The main problem is grabing the command options the tank browser uses to invoke the player.

>.js .css
You have to create/customize the files, put the files into the installation directory (root dir of USB/HDD drive with PWRC files unzipped) and reinstall
Or
Put the customized JS, CSS into
/mnt/syb8634/web/ (A110)
/nmt/apps/web/ (C200),
where pwrc.php is installed to.

Thanks. Yes I use it for audio, but I have some DTS iso files in it. ;-)
For now, I placed them in a seperate ISO subfolder.

Already played with the .css file. Works good. BTW do you know about some already made "skins".
