Yea, something like that. Just to help the aesthetics on the dashboard. I like what's been done so far. Looks really nice.

If you added an "Applications" feature like Maraschino has, you might convince me to make the switch. I kind of use Maraschino as a landing page for my whole setup right now and use it for shortcuts to other stuff (like my router). As was stated though, it's not very tablet friendly.

It's nice to see some development on this again though. Cheers to all those who are breathing some life back into this.

The latest one I downloaded has CouchPotato functionality.

which one? the one on the mainsite is 1.0.1 which doesnt have couchpotato
Go to https://github.com/mbw2001/HTPC-Manager and click the "ZIP" button. That includes all the files you need and has CouchPotato functionality. You'll need to be running CouchPotato v2 for it to work.

So far, I'm loving this unified interface. Some functionality is missing (CouchPotato doesn't let me choose quality, SAB doesn't let me rename downloads, etc.), but for the most part this is really great. Major kudos to all that are involved.
ah.. there we go.. will try that later..

is there anyway we can set that.. when we have the "recently added shows" or "recently added movies".. the option can be clickable, and we can launch the show or movie right from the link?
ok.. ran into an issue trying to load up movies right from the xbmc section.. when i try to load up movies or tv shows.. when i click play.. it always prompts me for credentials.. i try using my htpc manager credentials but they dont work.. i dont have any xbmc passwords.. any idea?
Looks awesome.
Any chance for adding Headphones to it?
It would be nice to be able to install this on a Synology NAS. Has anyone made a .spk package? There are some instructions on how to make these here: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php...kage_files

anybody know why this would happen?
gman3042:
Still happening with the latest version from my repo?
Is it listing the movies correctly?
Since i have passwords on my own XBMC's I haven't tested without passwords. But as a quick workaround you can try adding passwords to XBMC.
I'll try removing passwords on my XBMC "soon" (as in whenever i get the time) Wink
I made some changes again. Most are hidden in the code but a few changes are visible.

- Search link has been replaced with a search field on the front page. This fields doubles as a filter for XBMC moves, XBMC shows and Squeezebox. So when you enter text it filters the lists. If you press enter it searches.
- Squeezebox addon now has support for Internet Radio stations.
- The frontpage now displays the last 5 downloads.
- Experimental support for multiple XBMC's has been added. It requires manually adding the servers to the configuration file as this:

Code:
xbmc_labels = ["xbmcserver1", "xbmcserver2"]

[xbmcserver1]
xbmc_host =
xbmc_port =
xbmc_username =
xbmc_password =

[xbmcserver2]
xbmc_host =
xbmc_port =
xbmc_username =
xbmc_password =
gman:

I just checked and on my own version it works fine both with and without passwords.
Are you sure you entered the right ip/hostname and port? I had a similar problem at a point when using the wrong port therefor pointing at another service with another password.
I added a quick patch to limit the wanted movies list to 5 entries.

I will probably add a settings to change the limit later, however the entire settingssystem could do with a makeover. Perhaps to a database for better support for multiple XBMCs. Until then it can be changed in /interfaces/default/js/dash.js

As for headphones, I don't use it and since there is plenty of work to be done still on the current modules I have no plans for adding it. However if someone else feels like writing the module Ill be more than happy to add it to my repo.
Mbw2001 - Just updated to your latest commits and the interface no longer loads. It's throwing this error -

It looks like it's not pulling the entire path to the file?
Hmm... Looks strange. I dont get the error. Neither on my dev server nor on a clean install :/

I think i might be a value in config.cfg thats no longer valid.

Try setting the template and the theme like this:

template = default
theme = default

If it doesnt work try deleting the config.cfg (you will have to setup all the services again) or try copying the file here (remove passes).

It looks like it was my original initd - I removed the -d from the startup args and it runs fine now.
Arh... It handles paths differently when daemonizing through commandline.

I'll look into a fix however for now i disabled the -d argument since most people will have it in their initd script.
Are there any more command line arguments? I'm looking to make a plug-in for this app on unRAID, but since there is no GUI everything has to be done via command line.

Example, --pid-file, --port, --data-dir
