I'm running the latest Mr Audrey image with MH V2.91, and when I access the misterhouse main page at misterhouse_ip:8080 with the misterhouse main page selector in the channel changer, my security camera menu shows the default cameras, not what I have set up on my mh box. If I go to misterhouse_ip:8080 from the Audrey browser (using the button to the right of the screen on the Audrey), everything works fine. The menus also work fine from a browser on any other machine on my network. Anyone have any suggestions as to what's going on? Thanks. Joel -- Joel Davidson Austin, TX |

Joel, There a re a few idosynchrocies that can be worked around for the Audery. The easiest, and perhaps most desireable fix, could be to make a 'security camera' page (in other words a direct call to the URL through a channel), hopefully it's a frames issue with the filmstrip, as it can be a bit picky... If you're running the current MrAudrey image (with remote channels) you could try pushing the direct url to the filmstrip. You'll need the exact misterhouse url to your camera image. something like: http://audrey-ip/cgi-bin/channelURL?URL=http://mrhouse-ip:8080/ia5/security/index.html or main.shtml, or whatever your cameras page is If that works we can whip up a custom channel, that you can dial directly into the camera, form a channel .... -Pete Flaherty http://www.mraudrey.net On Sat, 2005-07-16 at 17:37 -0500, Joel Davidson wrote: > I'm running the latest Mr Audrey image with MH V2.91, and when I access > the misterhouse main page at misterhouse_ip:8080 with the misterhouse > main page selector in the channel changer, my security camera menu shows > the default cameras, not what I have set up on my mh box.

Joel, Never heard back on this one, though looks like there were a few DLs of the security channel.

Sorry about that Pete. I got sidetracked with other stuff, like work... :) What I ended up doing was copying my web/security files into the directory where I'd installed mh, instead of having them in the directory pointed to by html_alias2_ia5. That seemed to work ok, and for now I'll just repeat the process when I install a newer release. It does seem kind of odd though, that it'll work fine with files in the install directory, but not in my local directory. Kind of implies it's not an audrey browser issue, but then I'm a hardware guy, not a s/w whiz. I'm under the gun at work to get some stuff finished, so I don't expect I'll have much time to do any more with this for a couple of weeks. Thanks for your help.

Thanks, Pete. I'll give one of these a try when I get a chance, but can you explain why it works ok with the Audrey native browser but not with the browser used by the channel selector? It seems to me either one should be getting the same html from my mh box, and thus show me the same web pages.

Best Guess .. mostly from experience, observation, and of course hacking teh daylights out of her..... The native 'Browser' is that a full fledged browser, and teh 'Filmstrip app" is another app, that hooks into most of the standard libraries. Though I believe the original spec wasnt for full fledged multi-referenced pages with frames from outside the Audrey (they were intended to be downloaded and viewed locally). I had tough time getting some of the other MH sub pages to load correctly (the mail page, and the lights pages come to mind). What I found that actually worked was to create the base reference pages with the frames I wanted locally on the audrey, and then loaded in the actual MH pages from there. The magic incantations at the top of the (/data/XML/Channels/XXXXX/.template/index.shtml) files where I call up the MH server port etc, may be to blame mostly. If you can call up the page with the channelURL directly (thus bypassing all the magic and is most like typing in the URL in the Browser) then the channel method should work (thus identifying if its a local function or an http page function that is mucking things up) Also the supported HTTP functions are limited to pretty basic 1.0 standards (and frames functions are a bit odd, multipke frames, failure to identify targets exactly properly) To answer your question, I believe it is the frames target referencing issue (you may see remnants of previous frames, if they have any border, where the outer frame is the image you're expecting. I whipped up a MrAudrey package for the Security page, main,shtml target, if we need moore or changes let me know, and maybe the list can help hash out standard xxx.shtml naming for each location. ins-chSecCams from the MrAudrey package manager --Pete On Sat, 2005-07-16 at 22:23 -0500, Joel Davidson wrote: > Thanks, Pete.
