WebTV simplified
Hello
I have redesigned slightly the webtvs to improve the loading time and to make them easier to use. I have removed the yahoo libraries. This hopefully will make it so you can change your css files more easily. As you will see the html of the webtv and the css is much simpler and easier to customize. I have also seperated the widget in two iframes so the channels table loads faster and better. The top iframe contains the navigation bar and the main iframe contains the channels table and the player. I have removed the use of tabs and placed two buttons instead, "Player" and "Channels". In order to refresh the channel list, you must hit the "Channels" button. You will also see there is now a status bar that appears on top of the channel list. It will display messages when refreshing the channel list or when an error occurs, for instance if you are trying to play a TVU stream with firefox.
One of the side effects of dropping the yahoo libraries is that older web browsers may not be supported very well. Right now the navigation bar is mandatory because it contains the referral link to mywebtv. If you wish to use your own navigation bar instead, email me and we can talk about it.
All the webtvs have switched to the blue theme. You can switch them to the theme you want by copy pasting the content of these files into your WebTVStyle page in the control panel:

As you may have also seen with the new webtv design, the text ads are gone. However I have kept the referral link to mywebtv. and I've put it as a button in the navigation bar of the webtv. I have also added a redirection to the webtv. An advertisement will popup every four times the widget is loaded in the browser. This is aimed particularly to users placing the widget behind password protected pages, as I cannot confirm the navigation bar and the referral link are properly displayed in these cases.
In order to further enforce the privacy of the mywebtv users, I have changed the cache process of the webtv so it deletes the webtv home page (http://mywebtv.cc/webtvname) if you set your webtv as private.

some of you have reported a bug with sopcast channels. After analyzing the problem it seems the channels in question were trying to connect to sopcast servers on an erroneous ip. I fixed the ip in the database and the channels are working again. It would seem the ip for sopcast servers has changed yesterday, around the same time I updated the webtvs. anyhow, the problem is resolved for now. if this problem occurs again just post bakc on the blog.
when i try to open a sopcast channel with vlc (some sopcast channels work better with vlc) it opens up with wmp. i checked my settings in the sopcast options and they are set correct. hope you can fix this soon. thank you.
hi Jay,
I've tested this on my end and everything seems to be working fine. If I set sopcast to use WMP as external player, it opens up in WMP from the sopcast client and from the sopcast webplayer. If I set the external player to vlc, it opens up the channels in vlc from the sopcast client and from the webplayer. The bottom line is this is an option to be specified in the sopcast client app. My first guess would be for you to check if you have entered the path to your vlc.exe file correctly. I did my tests on internet explorer. What browser are you using?
never changed my settings in sopcast but its working now. thanks!
