0.3
- Fixed another typo - grrr.
- Create settings file correctly in INSTALLDIR
- Fix PID getting logic
- Reverted back to official logo (even if the wrong size for now) Smile
- Attempted to fix port issue on Unraid Settings page.

All seems fine now, good stuff
tested on vanila unraidvm

Thanks for the feedback!

If a couple more people give it a go and can confirm it does the job then maybe we can ask mrkipling to add it to the downloads on the website (and get the icon perfect :-) )

Might even then have to look at writing some modules for it - got it working on my unraid box today and found that whilst it's great, it doesn't quite do what I wanted Smile

I just want a library browser (like the Media Viewer), that doesn't actually force the stuff to be played but gives me more details about the movie/tv show. Sometimes I forget what I've actually got downloaded and want to check if it's present before grabbing it again. I'd like the media viewer when clicking on the movie at the end to show me the details and have a 'play' button on the end to start it if required.

Also have a slight issue (probably my configuration), that none of the images are being displayed correctly in the 'Recently Added Movies' and Sickbeard modules - they are all broken links - something else to play with Smile

I'm planning on writing something like this soon... watch this space!

Perfect - updated 0.3 to grab that version from my dropbox Smile

Trakt.tv has all that already, no?

It might well do - but I don't use it and it seems a bit pointless to do so when Maraschino has access to my XBMC media library already.. The Media Viewer is so close to being great for that purpose..

Installed on beta12a - says that Maraschino is running in the settings on port 8084, but nothing there when I browse in chrome :/

Can you confirm whether it is actually running by looking at the process list? The plugin relies on a pid file being created that I have to create by a bit of grep hackery so it's possible it thinks it's running when it isn't if that file was created even if Maraschino subsequently exited.

If its not actually running - then disabling the module should delete that file (/var/run/maraschino/maraschino.pid)

Has it created the correct settings.py in the Maraschino install directory? I've had instances where it didn't - at which point maraschino exits but the the pid file still got created.

Looks like it isn't in the process list, so will delete that file.

Checking /usr/local/maraschino shows that there is also no settings.py, just a settings_example.py.

mrkipling, or anybody else

I can't figure out how to get this running behind nginx. I have nginx listening on: 192.168.0.186:80 and maraschino running on another machine:

192.168.0.156:7000

Into /etc/nginx/sites-available/default I added:

Code:
location /maraschino {
    rewrite /maraschino/(.*) /$1 break;
    satisfy any;
    allow 192.168.0.0/24;
    proxy_pass [url]http://192.168.0.156:7000;[/url]
    proxy_redirect [url]http://192.168.0.156:7000[/url] [url]http://192.168.0.186/maraschino;[/url] }
but all on http://wan.ip/maraschino/ all I get is a skeleton maraschino page (black/white , text only, no images). For what it's worth, I have:

Code:
location /sabnzbd {
    rewrite /sabnzbd/(.*) /$1 break;
    satisfy any;
    allow 192.168.0.0/24;
    proxy_pass [url]http://192.168.0.156:8080;[/url]
    proxy_redirect [url]http://192.168.0.156:8080[/url] [url]http://192.168.0.186/sabnzbd;[/url] }
and http://wan.ip/sabnzbd/

works just fine

Thanks in advance from a reverse proxy noob!

If there isn't a settings.py Maraschino will just exit, but if it does it slowly the script will find it running when it checks and create the pid file - hence it gets confused.

Enabling / Disabling the module should force it to write the settings file which should go into the Installation Directory (which is where it should have put Maraschino in the first place)

Try disabling the module, then re-enabling it (which will also start it) to see if that helps? What are the permissions on the installation folder set to.

This is the first time I've written a plugin file, so I'm learning as I go along Smile


Trouble saving settings - drefas - 2012-01-29

Just installed Maraschino for the first time.
I'm having trouble saving the server settings when im in the web interface. Nothing happens when i click the save button.

Is there a settings file where I can edit the server settings manually?

I am having the same problem, probably the last batch of updates. Will have to check out and find a fix.

@ mrkipling

I'm not sure if you've seen EventGhost but it is a Python based PC/software automation tool for Windows. Many of us use it for control of applications (XBMC, Windows Media Center, etc) and our equipment (TV's, receivers, etc) and a TON more.

It would be very cool to see integration with EventGhost so that Maraschino could be used as a graphical front-end to launching EventGhost macros.
