Is the webserver plugin slow or is it just me?
Its around 30 seconds from the time I press any button interface and when it registers on the log. Locally, the response time is much faster but naturally thats not the intent. I am using WAMP on a Win7 box. I have tried from my laptop as well as the touchscreen (see below) and both networked machines have responses of ~30 seconds.
My goal:
I have a web based kitchen touchscreen (I created www.touchmykitchen.com) and adding home automation / home theater controls are my next progression... I currently only have an MCE remote (and according to the main site MCE transmission is coming soon... but if not I will pick up a USB IRT... update on that front?).

Webserver Plugin Slow?
Re: Webserver Plugin Slow?
nada... huh?
Hmm... maybe back to the drawing board on this once. Maybe try out netremote....

Re: Webserver Plugin Slow?
No one else has reported issues and several others use EG's web server directly. I have tried it with paseant's code and it works fine for me.
I send commands to it from another web server and the response is nearly instant. Maybe it is something in your setup.
Netremote is a totally different animal. Not made to do what EG does, and vice versa. It is also much more complex to use.
You have not given any information on what/how you are trying to do things. I looked at your site. From the looks it seems you are creating a set of buttons that load web pages. Not sure you'd need the complexity, as that interface seems basic.

Re: Webserver Plugin Slow?
Thanks for the reply!
What type of box are you using for your web server?
My steps so far:
Installed EG on my mediacenter
Enabled Webserver & MCE Remote Plugin
Test MCE Remote Plugin - log shows fine.
Download Test Web Files
Stick in appropriate directory
Test - log shows slow.
Correct, its absolutely basic but I wanted an interface where the type of machine it runs on is transparent- linux/win - entirely web oriented.
My goal for EG is simply to have a button on my site to load the remote interface on run over the local network. From there I can control MC or A/C components.
I can give it a try with a fresh install of WAMP or try it on my WHS but I haven't any problems in the past w/latency hence my post....

Re: Webserver Plugin Slow?
get some example code from the forums here, run it on EG locally and see the response time. if it is fast then you have a problem with other code... if it is slow you probably have some config issue in EG or OS.

Re: Webserver Plugin Slow?
Ok... So i think I figured out my issue.
I think it was a DNS issue of some sorts.
If I were to ping my WHS - I would get an IPv4 but when I would ping my mediacenter (where EG & webserver is running) I would get an IPv6. I didnt think much of it at first... but it looks that the was issue.
I disabled IPv6 on the network card on the mediacenter and my response time is as quick as running it locally.
Maybe someone has a little more technical explanation but that seemed to fix my issue....
