Add-In: P80 2.6.6

Version 2.6.6 of the add-in P80 is now available.

Lots of people asked that they wanted to limit who accessed P80, so with this latest version you can now select three different security options:

1. Public: Anyone can use P80. I mean ANYONE. If someone knows the url for your WHS then they can use P80. This is not recommended, but thought some users could use this option. I take no responsibility for any wrong doing that happens.
2. Private: Explicitly state which users can use P80. Once this is turned on, no one will have access until you select which users can access P80. Any user who has remote access turned on is available to be selected.
3. WHS Users (Default): This is how P80 has been used and is installed as. Any user who has remote access turned on can use P80.

Additional features include:

• An Options tab is also now available in the WHS console, which from here you can select to bypass the WHS website all together, instead using a dialog box to login to. So users can now directly link to the P80 website without having to login to the WHS website.

• German Language is now supported.
• P80 now looks for specific words in the descriptions, the field above the computer name for windows machines, for the computers/laptops/servers/etc on your network. P80 will then display the appropriate graphic in the summary screen for that item. Keywords: Laptop, Netbook, Server, Desktop, Workstation, Notebook. If for example you have a severs description as “HP G4 Server – Gaming”, then the server would have an icon displayed as a server in the computers section of the summary screen.

• Torrent Downloader – For users who have a torrent application that monitors folders on their WHS for new torrent files. Enter in the folder name in the config screen of P80 and then copy \ paste torrent urls’ in the torrent section of P80’s summary screen. – NOTE – Torrent sites that require username/passwords do not work. This will be in the next version. Also make sure your torrent url has .torrent at the end.

Known Bugs:

• On Japanese WHS’s a user can not select a user name to add to the P80 Private group with double byte characters until they first transfer one of single byte characters. Minor bug and want to get this version out.
• Torrent Watcher does not work with sites that require user names or passwords.
