A fully responsive interface to manage all your favorite software on your HTPC.

Currently we set the CherryPy<9.0 via requirements.txt but I'm actually not keen to keep it on an over 4 years old version forever.

@gmiranda You mentioned that it performs better, and I see the HTTP engine indeed changed with v9.0: https://github.com/cherrypy/cherrypy/blob/main/CHANGES.rst#v900 However, I tested the newest v18.6.1 (after removing the obsolete and conflicting config to disable timeout monitoring) and it works very well here, no performance drop recognisable. Can you check if you if it's still slower and how I can replicate?

When having pySMART installed from PyPI (via pip), server start fails with the following error message:

The reason is that pySMART overrides the findCaller function in a way that is not Python 3.8 compatible. There is an upstream fix available: https://github.com/freenas/py-SMART/commit/c5d6aabc80854ef27d9a7e4c4b2828478db5bf9d But it has not yet been uploaded to the PyPI repository: https://pypi.org/project/pySMART/

@scambra I found your fork which support for Watcher3 movie NZB & Torrent searcher and snatcher. Do you still use HTPC Manager and would you mind to contribute this to our new Python 3 orga fork?

Probably some minor changes to the existing code are required to make it compatible with Python 3, but otherwise it looks good.

Aug 15 07:04:41 htpc python3[5554]: AttributeError: module 'base64' has no attribute 'encodestring'

After looking into the issue, it seems that in python3 there is indeed no attribute of base64 called encodestring(), so the existing solution in kodi.py will need to be changed in order for this functionality to return:

    def auth(self):
        """ Generate a base64 HTTP auth string based on settings """
        if self.current.username and self.current.password:
            return base64.encodestring('%s:%s' % (self.current.username, self.current.password)).strip('\n')

I was able to correct the issue on my own by adding an import line and modifying the function in kodi.py:

from urllib.parse import urlencode

...

    def auth(self):
        """ Generate a base64 HTTP auth string based on settings """
        if self.current.username and self.current.password:
            dummy_param = 'bla'
            key_url_encoded = urlencode({dummy_param: self.current.username})[len(dummy_param) + 1:]
            secret_url_encoded = urlencode({dummy_param: self.current.password})[len(dummy_param) + 1:]
            credentials = '{}:{}'.format(key_url_encoded, secret_url_encoded)
            bytes_base64_encoded_credentials = base64.encodebytes(credentials.encode('utf-8'))
            return bytes_base64_encoded_credentials.decode('utf-8').replace('\n', '')

I'm not too familiar with Python however and am not confident enough in the solution I ripped nearly directly from a StackOverflow answer that I feel comfortable creating a pull request for this change, as I am almost entirely certain this is not the best solution and/or could be done much more cleanly or simply by someone more capable. This does, however, produce the result I want which is that the thumbnails for movies/episodes/albums now show appropriately in the little widget on my Dashboard.

Little review cleanup makes sense:

• https://github.com/HTPC-Manager/HTPC-Manager/tree/cardigan: The project is basically dead, so I suggest to remove the branch. When it is resurrected, the branch can be restored from base branches.
• Kodi/VLC web player: https://github.com/HTPC-Manager/HTPC-Manager/compare/master2...HTPC-Manager:video_stream_temp Much effort has gone into this one. As it's more than 6 years old, I just fear that used technologies are outdated, APIs changed etc. Would be interesting to test, but I think, if wanted, it is less work to start from scratch, using modern Kodi and/or VLC API, HTML5 etc, ignoring old browser support etc.
• Fixes from the old master branch have been applied to master2 already, so that one can be removed.

So in short, I suggest to remove those three branches so that we have master2 only. An idea would be to create some sorts of dev branch, where we collect smaller commits for a while and release them after another review/testing on a regular basis, so that users don't see an update on every little change and e.g. the Docker container build server is not overloaded with rebuilds for a single little commit only 😄: https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-htpcmanager Currently I aim to merge multiple PRs at once, when some more accumulated and having them open for review and testing for a while, so a salve of multiple commits work a little like a release 🙂.

Per https://radarr.video/docs/api/ it looks as though the api url changed from api to api/v3

I had these changes in my computer, I don't remember exactly why I need them to get it working with medusa, or whether they will work with SickRage or other forks

Is it ok, or some changes would be needed to get it working with every supported fork?

I opened the draft to allow resolving conflicts and having a closer look into this. Also this way users/contributors are made more aware that this attempt exists and, who finds time, may pick up the work.

The chardet could or should be pulled via pip instead: https://pypi.org/project/chardet/ Same with MediaElement: https://www.mediaelementjs.com/

Just to ping you here @wmariz as this is your work. I guess you don't use HTPC Manager anymore or have other reasons for not having finished it. Any input or information they may help others to do so, however, would be highly welcome 🙂.

pyOpenSSL discourages itself for that task. Also at least SAN is missing to every allow browser accepting that certificate: https://pypi.org/project/pyOpenSSL/ Strange that in 9/10 guide search results that exact method is still used.

Better go with cryptography: https://gist.github.com/bloodearnest/9017111a313777b9cce5 Official docs: https://cryptography.io/en/latest/x509/tutorial/#creating-a-self-signed-certificate

• Here is the function, called when SSL is enabled but no certificate/key found: https://github.com/HTPC-Manager/HTPC-Manager/blob/master2/htpc/helpers.py#L323
• It imports functions from this library: https://github.com/HTPC-Manager/HTPC-Manager/blob/master2/libs/certgen.py
• Both are basically 13 years old examples from pyOpenSSL: https://github.com/msabramo/pyOpenSSL/blob/master/examples/mk_simple_certs.py, https://github.com/msabramo/pyOpenSSL/blob/master/examples/certgen.py
