Remote web based administration

Post by brettich »

Just like the title says....

I think many of us install WMS on a "secondary" machine or headless home server configuration.
Yes we can use RDP / remote desktop to access WMS config, but a true web config page for basic administration would be real slick!
Keep the console for low level script stuff, and use a web config for basic things like adding folders, client devices, transcoding settings etc...

Web config page - this is a big step back, possibilities are very limited.

I'd also like the ability to do remote administration. But not using a web page. I'd prefer to be able to use the current administration console but run it on a PC other than the one that is running the windows service, i'd also think the remote administration connection should be authenticated with windows credentials.
