Thanks in advance!

Yes, you would still need Apache server to serve this externally. You wouldn't need it if your requirements were only internal. Apache is needed to reverse proxy your applications to a directory instead of a port.

Python Application (SickBeard.py, etc) -> Port - Can be accessed internally via http://IP:PORT (No Apache required)
Python Application -> Port -> Apache - Can be accessed internally via http://IP:PORT/Directory or externally via http://EXTERNAL-IP/Directory (Apache required)

@mrkipling
It doesn't seem to work here, only thing i see is the text Message beneath my server name and it's unclickable.

you need to refresh cache (ctrl+f5)

Thanks, that did it.

ctrl+f5 didn't worked here but clearing cache in browser settings did (chrome)

Yep, there will usually be some display or functionality weirdness after updates due to cached CSS and JavaScript.

Clearing your cache is the best best, but refreshing the page a bunch of times works too.

Really need to sort out a cachebusting solution.

I have done a little work on the iframe... while not perfect its is working better... I have also added images to the pull down menus... I will include a psd file so people can customize and add their own. I like how it is turning out.

PS I WILL be adding a link and image to the Maraschino forum...!

Hi Guys,

I think I have finalized my Maraschino Portal. I have been playing around with it for a couple of days, and I really like the way I can flow in and out of places as they relate to my XBMC browsing related activities. These activities include searching for new content, monitoring your SAB, SB, CP and HP. I can also hop in and out of my favorite web sites and my web mail interfaces.

I have cleaned up the file to the best of my abilities. I have also added instruction insede the index.html file on how to modify to your needs. If you are comfortable cutting and pasting and some rudimentary html editing, you should have no problem doing this.

Again, I am not a fancy programmer and I am sure my html could use some improvements please feel free to offer advice.

I don't think this is the direction Mr.K was to take Maraschino, but I find the workflow quite useful and intuitive. If you find yourself using it and making improvements, please share.

It looks great hernandito.

1 thing though, since iframe won't let you take advantage of whole screen height why not make the rss feed list shorter so it matches the iframe window?

edit:
Probably my screen size thing Wink


RE: Maraschino (formerly HTPC Frontend) - a summary web interface for your XBMC HTPC - hernandito - 2012-05-17

Thank you schumi.

The RSS feed grows up and down in size... when I look at my screen, the iframe is always larger than RSS... I guess it depends on screen resolution. This is where I am short on my abilities. I am sure iframe can be done to take full full height of what is available...

RSS feed can be told how many items to display. if your screen rez is low, I would make it display less items. It is currently set at 25... if you look at the script, you can see the 25 and change it to something lower.

.At home I have a 1920x1280 resolution, I have tweaked so this works for my screen...

hernandito... maybe you can ask Mrkipling if he will add your code to the main branch. He might even be able to replace the iframe method with something that will auto scale based on screen size Wink

H.

Looks great!

Like you said, it's not really the direction I want the master branch of Maraschino to head in, but if enough people are interested (which seems to be the case) why don't you put it on GitHub as a separate "add-on" project for Maraschino?

The way I understand it, you need to have Maraschino installed and configured, and this is an iframe which displays Maraschino inside it (as well as doing a bunch of other stuff)... so sounds appropriate to think of it as a separate project in its own right. Get that sucker on GitHub Smile

Oh, Oh ... I am not sure I know how to use Github... I remember trying back in the MFP days... I will give it a good try. Confused


RE: Maraschino (formerly HTPC Frontend) - a summary web interface for your XBMC HTPC - N3MIS15 - 2012-05-18

github scared me at first, but now i love it


RE: Maraschino (formerly HTPC Frontend) - a summary web interface for your XBMC HTPC - hernandito - 2012-05-18

Scared me, made me feel like a complete dummy... I think I have managed to do it... I just don't know how to go from here.
