MythWeb

MythWeb provides a frontend for scheduling and managing recordings on your MythBox from a web browser located on another machine. In addition it allows for changing key bindings and other settings.

Numerous improvements have been added since its inception, so that MythWeb now provides access to much of the content from the various plugins.

Indeed, many functions you might want to perform on your MythBox are faster or easier through MythWeb. (How much this is true, of course, depends to some degree on what version you're running.)

See MythWeb readme for install details.

One contributed favicon is File:Favicon.jpg (it's really a .ico file; see the page).

Troubleshooting

If you install or upgrade MythWeb and your web browser gives you garbage instead of a pretty page

Find the apache/htdocs/mythweb/.htaccess file and comment out (with a # sign) the three lines which begin php_value zlib.. (This note doesn't actually belong here, but I didn't want it to get lost, since I had to rummage in the mailing list to find it again. --Baylink 22:10, 7 October 2006 (UTC))

Securing Mythweb

If MythWeb is secured it will use the logged in username to record the mythweb settings including the template/skin. This is great if you are browsing mythweb from different PCs but will bypass the detection of mobile (wap/wml) devices. A simple workaround is to ensure you setup a different userid to authenticate with from your phone. --Lwoggardner 12:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

The user settings are stored in the table mythweb_sessions. To reset the stored session information for a particular user, simply delete the record for that user:

DELETE FROM mythweb_sessions WHERE id = 'user:<username>'

If you have edited your .htaccess db values to match your mysql.txt file and still cannot connect to database you may have mysql database problems. Try:

GRANT ALL ON mythconverg.* TO mythtv@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'mythtv'

WITH GRANT OPTION

Streaming Music via Mythweb

If Streaming Music over Mythweb is not working check to confirm that there is a link to your music directory in mythweb/data. If your music is stored in /mythtv/music and your web directory is /var/www/html/mythweb then you would need to add a link like.

ln -s /mythtv/Music /var/www/html/mythweb/data/music

Then confirm that it worked

ll /var/www/html/mythweb/data
