Can't install Tivowebplus to UK Tivo Series 1

[pipkato]

Can anyone help with my so far unsuccessful efforts to install Tivowebplus 1.2.1 on a UK Tivo Series 1.

I can't seem to get it to install. I've downloaded it and gzipped it to my /var/hack folder, and it has expanded okay to the file 'tivowebplus-1.2.1.tar'.

But when I Telnet and run what I believe is the correct install command it just lists out the various directories of the Tivowebplus file and gives me the error message 'no such file or directory' at the end of each line.

I'm running the command '/bin/cpio -H tar -i < tivowebplus-1.2.1.tar' from the /var/hack directory.

I know nothing about Linux so it may be that my sources of info have some error in the punctuation of the Linux command line.

Can anyone help?

I've read suggestions online that for the UK (I'm in Ireland, but it's a UK Tivo) it's better to use the older Tivoweb, but I'm not sure what the difference is.

Any advice gratefully received.

Thanks.

I found the solution.

The command line I was given needed an extra character to make it work. Instead of '-i' it needed '-id'. The addition of the 'd' forces the creation of the directories that 'Tivowebplus' expands into.

Once I did that it was hunky dory.

Now I'm on the Tivowebplus learning curve :) .

Thanks again.

Glad to be of help. I know how frustrating it is to be struggling with something like that.

By the way I strongly recommend having a look at the latest version of Tivowebplus at the link below. The guy who wrote it seems to be updating almost on a daily basis and is extremely helpful.
