Consider changes to slinger

[mdehrlich]

Gerry, If you do another version, please consider changing the format string %,. With multiple configs, it was difficult to make a HTML remote using %s for box name, and for the status line. I had to rewrite your code to use string replacement method. Also pretty weird you have to double all the % signs in the style section for non-html remotes. I would love to be able to use your releases without having to modify them. Thx

Note that I have a nice FIOS HTML remote that works with 2 slingboxes + 3 resolutions each. It automatically resizes larger on cellphones so I don't need to zoom to press buttons. Also shows status with box name to help verify I have to correct remote for the config I am watching. As noted above, it took a few mods to the server code.

What mods did you have to make. I'll have a look and see what I can do. I hadn't considered adding box name to the status string all my remotes have a
<h1>BoxName</h1>
in the first line.

Here are some screenshots. The top left is pull down menu that lets me switch the remote to any box/config. Code of HTML is also shown

Very nice. But I was referring to mods of the server code.

Here are the changes:
at line 1388 to insert the name into the html action= parameter:
if fn.lower().endswith('.html') :
uri = '/' + section_name
page = data.replace('Remote%s' , 'Remote' + uri, 1)
cmds = parse_html(page)

at line 1472 to add name into status because why not?
stati[box] = box + ' Waiting for first update...'

at line 1575 to update status
Page = Page.replace('Status:%s', 'Status:' + stati[streamer])

[mdehrlich]

I just figured out how to set the action attribute from the JS code. We don't need the first replacement.

I forgot about this one at line 1486
if streamer :
page = remotes[streamer][0]
page = page.replace('Status:%s', 'Status:' + stati[streamer])
return render_template_string( page )
