My grateful thanks to the Endless. After spending an afternoon working through solutions described in another thread, and giving up, I stumbled across this one. The install worked perfectly! I am using the web interface to control my PB as I view it over my Slingbox.

One problem that I am running into is that my PB connection to the Slingbox is over S-video and analog stereo out. For remote viewing, I have to manually switch the audio/video output to these as the PB connects to my TV over Component & to my receiver over S/PDIF. I have to go into settings and manually switch the formats as follows:
Home viewing: "6: Component 1080i" (TV) & "Direct Digital Output" (receiver)
Remote viewing: "2: S-Video 480i" & "Stereo Downmix" (both to Slingbox)

An ideal solution would be that when I press the power switch on the remote on the web page, it turns on the PB and switches to the appropriate outputs (2: S-Video 480i & Stereo Downmix) and when I press it again, it switches back to "6: Component 1080i" & "Direct Digital Output" and powers off. Is this possible? If so, how would I go about setting it up?

I also thought about trying to do the switch with my home remote when I turn it on for home viewing but I could not find the remote IR codes to do this.

Thanks.

I run my PB into my HD-Connect on my Slingbox and have the audio outputs from the component audio jacks going to the Slingbox. The PB outputs both on SPDIF and component audio. I don't have to switch anything...

I have found Andy Oliver's remote command line script to be a little faster for controlling the Slingbox though...

I believe that it may have to do with my 5.1 source material. My composite audio out of the PB is dead silent unless I switch the "MPEG2 Multichannel Audio" manually to "Stereo Downmix."

Edit: I have the Slingbox Classic and pondered the Slingbox HD until I figured out a way to have three sources (PVR + PB + coax input) working with the Slingbox Classic.

Connections:
PVR->composite video to SB & audio to Photobridge audio pass-through
Photobridge->S-video & audio->SB

I just switch between Slingbox inputs (S-video for PB & composite for PVR). The audio pass-through of the PB lets me hear the audio of the chosen input.

I am happy to have -a- solution that is easy to install. I couldn't get Andy Oliver's solution working for some reason.

This worked the first time I tried it!!!!!

Very cool! Thanks alot!

Not sure but, going to port 81 after installing this, I get;

Going to the suggested URL of;

http://192.168.1.116:81/RokuWeb/index.html

Gives me;

No such file or directory.

And without, simply to port 81;

run ps

Seems to be at the right path?

# ls -la /home/html/
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Jan 14 13:18 RokuWeb -> /mnt/flash1/RokuWeb

And the service is running;

319 root S /usr/local/bin/tcpserver -DRHPl 0 -u 0 -g 0 0 81 /usr/local/fnord/fnordy

What am I missing?

Thanks.

Ah, didn't notice that I had to enter the 'home' directory as well.
On firefox however, I can only see the remote so guess I'll re-read this thread for that problem next .

In order to write the screenshot to disk, the Roku needs write access to the share hosting the web pages. Can you confirm that this is the case? If so, is there a screen.bmp file in the RokuWeb folder? It's also entirely possible that it's case sensitive, so make sure the folder/symbolic link is named RokuWeb.

I downloaded the version at the start of this thread and what it has is a png, not a bmp. Might this be why I'm not able to see anything but the remote also?

And, if the directory needs write access, how does one do this because once the roku is running, everything goes into ro mode.

Thanks.
