So Mythweb had a link that would take the “friendly” name to generate a file. Since most of my programs are converted by handbrake to .mp4, this made it extremely easy to save a show out of myth, instead of using mytharchive. I would just download the file and then burn it/move it/edit it. Then I’d delete the original recording.

Don’t have time to watch a show? Save the file to your phone and watch on the train/plane. Name is Name of Show (and maybe subtitle/episode name?).

Re: Is v34 ready for prime time? [ In reply to ]
When using v32 myth web, and listings, there were 3 hours of information displayed for each channel. This works great for primetime television here in the US since prime time is 3 hours long.

When I have tried the current webfrontend, only 2 hours were displayed, so I kept using mythweb.


Does the v34 version pretty much follow what webfrontend does? Or?

… Hoping that there are 3 hours displayed in listings! :-)

Thanks, and regards!

Re: Is v34 ready for prime time? [ In reply to ]
So I've bitten the bullet and upgraded to v34 and, so far, it's working really well.



One thing I have noticed is that there are fewer filters in the Upcoming Recordings page of the Web Interface - in mythweb, there is an option to filter the list on the program name. I find this to be useful to check that upcoming recordings contain all the episodes that I expect.



I like the fact that, in Recordings and Videos, I can click on the download link, save the URL and then open the program as a Network Stream in VLC.



Regards,

Dave.

Done some testing on my development system and the web app does seem
ready for prime time.

I will put it on my production system tonight to see if any issues pop up.

Under very minor issues

Recordings page

     would it be possible to pre populate the Rec Grp: filter with
"Default" or provide a pick list rather than free text.

Use-ability  on a tablet is now much improved.

I had an anomaly for the first ten minutes or so where the program guide
was shown in GMT or Zulu time. I cannot repeat the issue though and
presume it was a system issue.


I agree with you on the improvements.  The Web app now works great on my phone.  When traveling I used to have to VPN back into my home network to run Mythweb and really zoom in to update a recording I wanted to get but wouldn't be home in time to add it to mythtv.  Doing this on a Galaxy Flip 4 smartphone was a breeze with the latest commit overnight.  Sliding the web page around to see what is off screen works well for the guide and recordings pages.  When you turn the phone 90 degrees, it works even better.  I like the button (arrow) at the top to hide the title bar.

Hi All,



I was the original poster of this message and I have been playing with a test setup with a laptop and an HD PVR 2 device (hooded up to my STB via a splitter). I've been setting the test V34 system to record some of the same programs as my live system (without any channel change script) and it all seems to work very well.



The new web frontend looks good and mythweb is still there should I need it (or want a comfort blanket).



I'm going away for a week or so, but when I get back, I think I may well upgrade the live system to v34



I shall keep an eye on this thread for any gotchers, but there don;t seem to have been any found by anyone so far.



As always, thanks to all the devs for the great work that you do (and thanks to the people that test that work to help iron out the bugs/issues/usability).



Regards,

Dave.

Thanks Peter,



Another thought occurs to me - would it be possible to set up a password on the Web Interface? I don't feel happy accessing it form outside home without one - there's too much damage that could be done if someone decided to be unfriendly.



In the absence of that, I wonder if I could password protect it at my inbound apache2 proxy?

I shall try and set that up as soon as I can. Of course, one probable downside is that it will stop VLC from being able to open the download links that I mentioned in my previous post.

The best way to access things on your home network safely is to set up
your own VPN server. Then you can get full access as though you are
on your local network, and it is really secure. Making open ports
available through your firewall is risky as each port connecting to
different software will have different potential risks, and you really
need to keep up with monitoring and updating them all. A good VPN
server is just one port to make sure you have it secure, and VPN
software is normally very, very secure and if kept updated, stays that
way.

I set up my own OpenVPN servers a very long time ago and have never
had any problems with them being attacked. There are the usual port
prodding basic attacks, but I suspect once they determine that they
are trying to connect to a VPN server, they just give up and try some
easier target.

But OpenVPN is quite complicated to set up - these days Wireguard is a
very well supported solution that is easy to set up. Many routers
support Wireguard natively, and if yours does not, installing
Wireguard is easy on a Linux box such as your MythTV system. With
Wireguard, you only get a routed connection (layer 3). If you want a
bridged connection (layer 2) so that you get all the broadcast traffic
also, then you still need to use OpenVPN. I have two OpenVPN servers,
one set up for bridging (which I access from my laptop) and one set up
for routing which is used with my Android devices (mobile and tablet).

Another possible solution is what I do. I do NOT want open website ports
on my home network. Passwords are a minimal protection for that. I set up
an OpenVPN server on a Raspberry PI 3B+ and run both Pi-hole and PiVPN to
control access to my home network. It took 5 minutes to install and set
up. All of my phones, tablets, and laptops have their own separate private
keys to access my home network. So now I don't need the pain of passwords
locally or remotely and my network is very well protected.

I hear what you say about using a VPN Server, but I have an SSL Reverse Proxy for other purposes, so adding the new Web Interface is not so difficult for me.



This is the configuration I added for requiring a password to access the Dashboard, but not needing one to play recordings in VLC with the "Download Link":


    <Proxy *>

        Authtype Basic

        Authname "Password Required"

        AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/.htpasswd



        SetEnvIf Request_URI "^/Content/*" allow

        Order allow,deny

        Require valid-user

        Allow from env=allow

        Deny from env=!allow

        Satisfy any

    </Proxy>



It seems to work quite well and it's just another https web site as far as the outside world is concerned, no need to open any special ports on my firewall.



I may try and improve on Authtype Basic, though.



Regards,

Dave.

When you use the TV guide , does the new version display 2 hours like the v32 webfrontend does, or 3 hours like myth web does?

A 3 hour window would be really nice to have since prime time tv in the US is a 3 hour window.

It's a 2 hour display, probably because it shows the program description, without having to hover over the title. It would be difficult to fit the program description if there was a 3 hour window.



For some reason my guide doesn't display the channel icons, although MythWeb does

WebFrontend URL = /Guide/GetChannelIcon?ChanId=20113

MythWeb URL = /mythweb/data/tv_icons/s87840_dark_360w_270h.png

I have not investigated how to add a password for the new internal http
server in mythbackend.

By default, MythTV only allows connections from the local subnet. As
long as you do not select "Allow Connections from all Subnets" in
"General -> Host address backend setup", somebody from outside your home
cannot connect, even if the port is open on the router.

For accessing remotely, I have a port open for ssh to a raspberry pi.
ssh forwards a port for VNC, so that I can log on to vnc on any of my
home machines using Remmina, and access anything I need. Do not use the
default port for ssh.

Everything is protected by my ssh password.

There is a hidden storage group called "ChannelIcons" that points to
that directory.

mythweb gets them from data/tv_icons in the mythweb directory. I don't
know how they get there.

Check these directories and see if you can locate the discrepancy. I
suspect that mythfilldatabase was run under a different user id or on a

Thanks Peter,

Found a .mythtv/channels folder that was filled with icons, copied them all to ~/.mythtv/channels for the mythtv user an, lo and behold, the icons now show up in the program guide.


Looks like I normally run mythfilldatabase as root - my bad, I’ll fix that ????

I have added a filter on recording rule. For normal recording rules this
will show the upcoming recordings for a show. If you have rules that
record multiple shows (e.g. people search or power search), this will
show all upcoming recordings from the selected rule.

Just tested it on my Production backend. Looks good, very useful.

So I've bitten the bullet and upgraded to v34 and, so far, it's working really well.




One thing I have noticed is that there are fewer filters in the Upcoming Recordings page of the Web Interface - in mythweb, there is an option to filter the list on the program name. I find this to be useful to check that upcoming recordings contain all the episodes that I expect.




I like the fact that, in Recordings and Videos, I can click on the download link, save the URL and then open the program as a Network Stream in VLC.

I have added a filter on recording rule. For normal recording rules this will show the upcoming recordings for a show. If you have rules that record multiple shows (e.g. people search or power search), this will show all upcoming recordings from the selected rule.

It does look good, the only change I would suggest is that the Recording Rule Selection box should be limited to only Upcoming Recordings (I have, currently, 1263 rules), otherwise it can be a very long list to scroll through.
