In my repo now: I've broken the "Admin" plugin, which was doing two unrelated things, into two new plugins: "Settings" and "ToGo". Further, the new plugins don't have to be set up in pyTivo.conf, but are added automatically. If you have an "Admin" share, you can remove it; otherwise, it will just cause a warning on startup. Since it's no longer checked, you'll have to move your tivo_mak and togo_path settings to the Server section, if you haven't already.

The ToGo links will now not be displayed unless both tivo_mak and togo_path are already defined; the Instructions page no longer appears. (Instead, you can set these options from the main Web Configuation.) Direct links to each TiVo appear on the info page, and the pull-down selector no longer appears on the NPL page.

There is no longer a way to keep the Web Configuration (Settings) from appearing, which could previously be done by omitting the Admin share from pyTivo.conf. I'll probably add an option to suppress it, with it being available by default, but I could use more feedback on that. (Yes, I know there should be a password option.)

All this is preparatory to much bigger changes in the ToGo plugin.

Yeah, I was meaning more, do you agree that it should be on by default? How many of you would actually want it disabled? Etc.

But anyway, for now, I've added the option "nosettings" to disable it. Also, the ToGo menu is more thoroughly disabled when togo_path and tivo_mak aren't both set. It's now as secure as before the restructuring (i.e., not very), plus you can disable the web config from within itself, which wasn't possible before. (And of course you can disable the settings menu while still enabling ToGo, which also wasn't possible before.)

There is IP-based access control in there already, added by Keary Griffin. It's currently undocumented, partly because Keary didn't document it, and partly because his patches were to add functionality that may technically violate TiVo's TOS. Anyway, you can add the keyword "allowedips" with a space-delimited list:

[Server]
allowedips = 127.0.0.1 192.168.1.

I haven't really tested it.
