Tivoweb Plus has a blank space for UI User Interface

[SeePink]

Hi:
My equipment is a DVR39 with 4.0. It is monted with Sleepers 1.02.

I have been using TivoWeb Plus and ahave developed an issue where the UI (User Interface) has disappeared from the menus and there is now a blank box between 'Whats On' and 'Restart'. I have restarted my TiVo and it has not helped.

I last used UI to delete and undelete some shows - expecting their life expectancy to change to 'Keep until I delete' (based on a thread I was following). Needless to say, I was unsuccessful in making that change and somewhere in the process something got hosed.

Would mfs_ftp installation error, or patching the /tvbin/tivoapp with
an incorrect echo -ne "\x3c\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=88618248
instead of echo -ne "\x3c\x02\x00\x00" | dd conv=notrunc of=tivoapp bs=1 seek=8593192 have anything to do with this error?

What should I change first?

You can do that directly -- there's no need to resort to a delete/undelete trick. (Click on the program in Now Playing, then "Edit Program", then change the "Save Until..." field, and save your changes.)

As for the actual problem, my only suggestion is to try reinstalling TWP.

Shot down TWP and re-run it with the "console" parameter - that should put any error messages from loading ui.itcl up on the screen.

From the web interface, I chose:
Restart
Quit (as suggested here):

Next I tried :
tivo:/var/local/tivoweb-tcl$ tivoweb -console > /dev/ttyS2
I saw no messages in my telnet or web interface, but User Interface is back!!!
What exactly happened?

I guess it just fell over while accessing the database first time. I assumed you'd already tried restarting it; perhaps not!

The correct syntax by the way is just:

tivoweb console

for 1.9.4 at least.
