Could I ask for a feature implementation ?
I'm sure that I'm not the only one that have a Adult collection that I would like to somehow have passwordprotected or hidden.
We should be able to lock/hide on cathegory/virtual folder basis.

Hey Smyken,

I've already implemented password protection on the web service, which is at the httpbinding level, which means that a password will be required (if setup in settings) to access any of the web service endpoints.

As far as per category or per folder, that is not how the password protection will work since it's not a "real" web server, but a webservice acting like one.

Hello

I have a doubt. I have installed version 2.1.21 but the folder "C:\ProgramData\MetaBrowser 2.0\Web" is empty. Where I can get an index.html to the server?

PS: the OS is Windows 7 64 bit home edition in Spanish.

Sorry for my bad English.

Hola

Tengo una duda. Tengo instalada la versión 2.1.21 pero la carpeta "C:\ProgramData\MetaBrowser 2.0\Web" está vacía. ¿dónde puedo conseguir un archivo index.html para el servidor?

PD: el sistema operativo es Windows 7 64 bit home edition en español.

Hi,

To get the apps, just use Auto-Update (check for updates/manage plugins button on the bottom right of the application) to grab and install them.

Once installed, go to Settings->Misc and start the web service (you have to run the application as an administrator to be able to start the web service read here).

After the service is started successfully, a link will be displayed , just click on it and it will open it in your browser.

I run the program as an administrator but when I try to access the web only shows a summary of the number of movies and nothing else.

Attached is a screenshot.

PD: Thanks for your patience.

Get the web apps just like you would any other plugin.

Good day,

It will be great if Mediainfo "custom" for subtitle can be display.

Hi,

Subtitles was added in the last update to the web app.

Take Care

Many thanks and well done!
Great job indeed.

Good day fatal,

Any way to edit to be able to make the subtitle info in bold or different colors?

I just wanted the family to be able to notice it with ease.

My best

Although I don't change it here, if you know a little html, you can change it yourself.

Go to C:\ProgramData\MetaBrowser 2.0\web\MovieCollection and open index.html in a text editor (Notepad++ ftw!)

Go to line 328 and change:

Subtitle: <span id="subtitle"></span><br>

to

Subtitle: <span id="subtitle" style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br>

That will bold the subtitles.

Hi fatal,

Look very nice now, well done indeed!

Hi fatal,

1 - Can the CustomRating for the movies be added to the web under the MPAA Rating:

2 - Can the web start with win server 2003 as services, without the need for metabrowser to be running.

My best

Hi,

1. Same as above

Go to C:\ProgramData\MetaBrowser 2.0\web\MovieCollection and open index.html in a text editor (Notepad++ ftw!)

Go to line 322 and add the following CustomRating line so it looks like the following:

MPAA: <span id="mpaa"></span><br>
Custom Rating: <span id="customrating"></span><br>
Runtime: <span id="runtime"></span>&nbsp;mins<br>

Then go to line 220 and add the following CustomRating line so it looks like the following:

$('#mpaa').text($(md).find('mpaarating').text());
$('#customrating').text($(md).find('customrating').text());
$('#runtime').text($(md).find('runtime').text());

2. No, the webservice is part of metabrowser, and metabrowser has to be kept running. You can just minimize it your system tray or you can follow this HowTo: HowTo run metabrowser as a service

Is there anyway we could log the ip address of the people that log in?

Hi fatal,

1 - well done, many thanks indeed:

2 - Fully understand the issue, it easy btw to run web server on the server and redirect the issue :)

You doing great, again many thanks and well done fatal!

Hey,

No currently there is no way to log ip address for people connecting to your web service, since the service is self hosting, there is no server side scripting available (ie PHP) to grab that information, so things like this would have to be an internal part of metabrowser.

Hi Fatal,

The web service is awesome - love it. Now I'm trying to figure out the QoS on my router to give it some decent bandwith...!

Couple of questions for you -
1. The option to enable security for the web service is greyed out on my MetaBrowser. How do I set this up?

2. While the Mobile site variation displays all my media correctly, the Media Collection section doesn't - I have 3 sections: TV, Documentaries and Movies. Movies is showing the full collection, but the others aren't - 2 items in TV (Should be 130) and 16 items in Documentaries (Should be about 35). Any ideas? If you PM me I'm happy to send you the public address of my web service for you to have a look....

Otherwise, the program is fantastic. Been using it, loving it, and making all my friends use it for ages :)

Thanks,

- M

1. The option to enable security for the web service is greyed out on my MetaBrowser. How do I set this up?

You have to stop the service first, then those options will be enabled. After setting your username/password, just start the web service again.

The web app is called Movie Collection not Media Collection, thus, it only displays movies. The Media Collection (mobile) web app does display your entire collection (movies & tv) I will eventually update the non-mobile version to display both movies and tv.

I will eventually update the non-mobile version to display both movies and tv.

That will be great, well done fatal!

@abobader,

One thing I want you to keep in mind is that whenever this web app is updated and you update it using auto-udpate, it will overwrite any changes that you have made manually.

Just a FYI.

Hi Fatal is there a way that I am able to use the webservice and to group by "date added" like I can in Metabrowser ?

Thanks

Hey,

No currently there is no way to group by "date added" using the web app...although possible to do if you know a little html/jquery (look in c:\programdata\metabrowser 2.0\web for source), but nothing I have plans to implement myself.

Take Care

Hi fatal,

Any update to include the TV series listing as well soon?

My best

Hi Everyone,

just wondering if its possible to display the resolution that the movie is under movie details. I know it does have the extension so that gives you a rough idea of what it is.

thanks
