get_iplayer Web PVR Manager - enabling access on a "trusted" network

[Kevin Lynch]

Simon
Thanks for following up
My use case is this - I run gip 2.92 on ubuntu trusty vm, under win 7
- I have integrated the VM machine that it writes it's files on the
host computer FileSystem on a computer that I share with my son which
he uses for gaming. When VM launches I have a shell script that runs
the gip pvr and shuffles media around for me. 90% of the time I use
"secure shell" http://go.kevinlynch.net/bas7vx in Chrome to access the
machine.
>From time to time I need to use the web ui as it's handy for programme
discovery (especially now that radio categories RIP are gone) also
reviewing the PVR searches is easier in the web ui.
I can now do those things without interrupting my son while he does his things.
