HI David, In reading this thread - I have a question about this statement:
updated Linux, updated smartremote template. You had downloaded the current, but hadn't changed it's name to "smartremote" so it wasn't being put into practice.
I did download the update smartremote-sample template. What is the best way to "update" to the newer template?
I also was wondering how I update my existing smartremote template after I download a new sample template.
Also, should we have the Moonlight templates for phones and tablets? I don't see them anywhere.
The easiest way to update the folder name of a project folder is to use the myServer controller's HDMI monitor / USB keyboard and mouse and to edit in File Manager. You can also from a networked PC go to \\192.168.1.X\myServer and edit in the wwwroot directory the file names. Just copy the downloaded -sample and then delete the suffix -sample if you haven't customized any webpages or add images (both).
the YouTube tutorials for myDesigner also show how you can edit the project folder names using myDesigner.
David,
I hate to beat this dead horse. The issue is I already have an older template that I renamed smartremote when I first set up MyDesigner. I downloaded an updated template named smartremote-sample. The only way I could rename the new template without "sample" is to rename the older one to something different, like smartremote-old. Is that how I should do this?

Not a dead horse for sure...Live and Kicking!
you can create a "wwwroot/backups" directory and put your old (but maybe customized?) folder in there, and rename the latest smartremote-sample to smartremote
Then you are on the out of the box latest.
You move the old stuff out of wwwroot so they don't consume software licenses needed.
You should also clear Cache in all browsers (including myServer chrome).
You should exit the smartremote.apk and restart it to clear the SmartRemote's cache to load the latest javascript in the new -sample
You can then selectively bring in your custom webpages (kyles-office.html) into the new smartremote project folder.
Note - you can also rename smartremote to "kylehouse" and then use the second SmartRemote Settings connection tab to point to kylehouse folder. Deselect Default connections so everytime the SmartRemote.apk launches, you choose which connection settings to use (Tab 2 for the example) and you then launch the custom kylehouse project folder.
