Locked Remote Access of Locations Window

 

Hello.? I've successfully connected to JMRI from my Android Tablet via Google Chrome.? JMRI is running on my Windows 7 PC.? From the remote screen, the only thing I see listed under the Operations tab is the TRAINS window. From it, I can view the Manifest and Conductor views. ?
Is it possible to also access the LOCATIONS window remotely??
What I would like to do is mount an android tablet at the yard so that the yardmaster can click on the YARDMASTER buttons in the LOCATIONS window during a session.
Is there something I can do from my PC to make the Locations window shareable?
Thanks,
Mike
 

Hi Mike,
You can access the Locations window by selecting "Enable frames" in the Web Preferences. This (mostly) works.
However, it sounds like you also want a web view of the YardMaster window as well, correct? Unfortunately, that window does not work properly with the frameserver. It actually hangs up my JMRI when I click on it.

Trains, Manifest and Conductor have all been rewritten as web applications, which seem to work well. The Trains and YardMaster functions could also be rewritten as web apps, but no one has yet undertaken to do the work.

Meanwhile, depending on your server setup, you may be able to use a remote control app, VNC, TeamViewer, etc. to share your server desktop screen including these windows out to your tablet client(s).

I will create a JMRI issue to create web versions of the Locations and YardMaster windows. One difficulty is finding someone willing and able to write the web apps who also knows enough about JMRI Operations to verify the functionality.

Regards,

Steve,

Does the Conductor screen now allow the options to edit what is there? This
exists on the computer end to say a car wasn't there for pickup, or a car
was found that didn't show. To advance to the next town, you had to
'complete' the work first, and before you couldn't make the changes via the
web. I haven't tested it lately, but last year, the web version only let you
say you completed the work and advance to the new town.

Ken, I'm not aware of any recent changes to the Conductor code.
 

Thanks for those suggestions, Steve.? I will explore some of those other options to see if they are viable.

You've aroused my curiosity though about finding someone willing and able to write the web apps.? Is there somewhere I could go to find the code used to rewrite the Trains window/list as a web app?? I'm willing, just not sure about the able part.? I am by no means a master programmer, but I've been "playing" with visual basic, javascript, html, etc. for years.? You can contact me off-list if that would be better to discuss this further.? If I saw an example, I would quickly know if I was in over my head or not.
Thanks,
Mike
