Unable to Login to Slingbox Account

**itjg247** · January 22, 2014

I can login through the slingbox website, but not through slingfront. Anyone else having this problem? I have tried each of my computers and the login attempt fails. I am using windows 8.1 and I just saw that they came out with a windows 8.1 app. I'm not sure if this is the reason for me being unable to login, though. Idk what I would do without slingfront! Thanks for the help.

Yup, same isue here. Windows 7 Pro. Has been working fine for months but am unable to login today. I've already tried re-installing

**itjg247** · January 23, 2014

I have tried everything. Mine was working for months too. Maybe it's just temporary? But being able to sign in through the website and not slingfront makes me think maybe not.

They have made a small change to the sign-in web page which requires a small change in SlingFront.

I've fixed and verified it in my custom build and will try and upload this soon.

**oviano** · January 23, 2014

Ok, I've rebuilt an executable from the code in SourceForge, including the fix, and you can download it from here. Just unzip the exe over the old one and hopefully it should do until Tom updates the proper installer and releases a new version.

Well done. Thankyou very much. The wonderful Slingfront is working again.

**itjg247** · January 23, 2014

Thanks for the help! Anyway you could upload your customized one?

**christopherve7alb** · January 23, 2014

You sir, are my hero! Thanks a bunch!

**Alanjudy** · January 24, 2014

Is this the "all keys" version? If not can we get an update to the "all keys" version?

**oviano** · January 24, 2014

Thanks for the help! Anyway you could upload your customized one?

Yeah, I'll upload this for you as soon as I can. Today hopefully.

I will also integrate my changes into Tom's main branch of code when I get a chance.

**jillefsky** · January 24, 2014

Hi oviano,

First of all, thanks a lot for all your efforts in making slingfront again available for all of us! Much obliged!

I would just like to kindly ask you whether you could integrate these changes on the version customized by you with the "channel digits" settings, and "refresh rate", which on my case are of the utmost usefulness. I have been using it religiously every day since you released it.

Thanks a lot!

**oviano** · January 25, 2014

Right, jillefsky, try this one:

I've been manually merging my changes back into Tom's main code in SourceForge, so I've not tested this much - so please let me know if you have any problems!

**Alanjudy** · January 25, 2014

Thanks Oviano!!! The new drop appears to be working fine!

My 30 second skip on the remote and List (one of the custom buttons) still don't work. Any chance these changes can get merged into the sourceforge tree?

Thanks again!

**jillefsky** · January 25, 2014

Thanks a lot oviano!!

Everything seems to be working fine. Thanks a million!

Alan (or Judy) where can I find the info about this, is there a thread somewhere, or some code containing the changes?

**Alanjudy** · January 26, 2014

The binaries were posted here

http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/12744-news-slingfront-145/?p=106740

The conversation of the changes made are in the dozen or more posts before this.

Thanks for looking at this..

**oviano** · January 26, 2014

Thanks Alan, I'll take a look as soon as I can.

I agree it would be good to have things consolidated so there are no longer multiple versions floating around.

Now that Tom has let me check stuff directly into the sourceforge repository I can help out a little bit.

**oviano** · January 27, 2014

Ok, here is a new beta to try which implements all the possible remote STB commands.

As part of this, I've tried to improve the naming of all the keyboard shortcuts - essentially anything that controls the application is now preceded by "App" so for example "AppDisconnect" and "AppStreamInfo" relate to disconnecting the stream or getting the stream info.

Everything else is a remote STB command. So for example "AppVolUp" increases the application volume, whereas "VolumeUp" is for increasing the volume on the remote STB.

Since the menu these appear in in the settings section is sorted alphabetically this means all the App-prefixed shortcuts now appear at the top of the menu, which I think is quite helpful.

I also took the opportunity to make the namings of all the remote STB commands match the list I posted in the other thread a while back.

All in all, this should now be much cleaner.

The downside is that when you run this executable all the mappings will be reset to default values - so if you've heavily customised them then you will have to do this again.

Please let me know if any of these changes have broken anything - hopefully they won't have!

Not a Slingbox user, but I wanted to pop in and say thanks for everything you do oviano. You're an asset to the community in many ways. :-)

**oviano** · January 27, 2014

No worries - the app offers many things that the official apps don't so I'm keen to see it continue.

**Alanjudy** · January 28, 2014

Just installed the latest binaries above. I had some complications because the key presses I used were already assigned to other functions. The current code doesn't unassign the current assigned key, so I had to go through all the key settings to see that both skipback (which I assigned) and AppBestHD were assigned to oemcomma. How do you assign a function to "None". I finally got the 3 keys working by assigning the conflicting keys to some function keys that were unused. Any way to import/export the key mappings and edit via an external text editor would be very cool. The current interface works, but each update will require the manual updates as the settings will be lost for every update.

I don't want to sound like I'm complaining. The recent update is very much appreciated. Thanks again for getting this to work.

**oviano** · January 28, 2014

Alan, subsequent updates shouldn't touch the mappings you set, this was hopefully a one-off.

However, it shouldn't have kept any if your previous mappings, they all should have been reset to defaults so unless I've messed up the defaults and assigned the same key twice I'm insure how you ended up with that situation - I'll have another look, perhaps I made a mistake somewhere.

Thanks for testing

By the way, search for the file 'keyboard_mappings_v2.ini' if you want to edit using a text file. You could back this up and then delete it and run the exe again whereupon it should recreate it - maybe you can then send me this file and also the original one without the _v2 extension and this might help me see what's going on.

EDIT : Ok, I don't think I fully digested your post, what I understand is that it did in fact correctly change all the defaults (although I accidentally had the W key assigned twice) but your problem was just that the defaults use some of the keys you want to assign to other functions? I think you are right in that when you assign a key to a function it needs to unassign that key from any other function it might have been assigned to.

I'll have a look at doing that, sorry for the confusion with my understanding

**oviano** · January 28, 2014

So further to the above, here is a new version which should unassign keys from their old function, if you assign them to a new function.

Alan, if you could possibly go into the SlingFront settings folder (type %APPDATA% into the Start box in Windows, then go to the SlingFront folder) and delete the "Keyboard_Mappings_v2.ini" file and then run this new executable and let me know if things work better for you when mapping keys that would be a great help.

Oviano,

I've been trying to experiment with slingfront however I am still having login failures even with your updated .exe file. As other have had success, Is there a general setting I may be missing?

Thanks

**Alanjudy** · January 30, 2014

Oviano, sorry I've been slow at responding. I am on a business trip and don't return home Friday. I will provide a detailed report then, but have to say that the previous update that let me assign the list, skip back and skip forward keys has passed the 'wife' (judy :-) ) test. No complaints from her daily use. Thanks again and look for an update Sat morning.
