For those who may not know, the Resources TWP module is a handy way to customize most anything in the TiVo interface. For example, you can re-label the "Now Playing" banner to read "Living Room TiVo" or "Recordings." You can even make political statements, if you wish.
But, unfortunately, this feature is only available for software versions prior to 3.1. I'd like to extend the development effort to include more recent versions. But I have old S1 equipment and am not willing (or able) to part with it for the sake of development! So I need help.
hackman has a feature (TiVo Resources) which lists all the text resources used by the TiVo. There are hundreds of them. I'd like to update hackman to correctly read newer software versions and then update resources.itcl to enable editing.
What I need is the location of these resources. Prior to 3.1 I know that they are located in MFS /SwSystem/ACTIVE. I need to know where they are for:
Version 3.1
Version 4.0
Version 6.2
Version 7.1
Version 7.2
Version 8.1
Any other versions that are out there.
Then I'll add that information to a beta hackman and ask people to report the list of resources for their version.
Finally, I'll use that information to create new .res files for TWP and modify resources.itcl to handle the new locations, assuming that a similar structure is still being used.
I think this is a worthwhile project and with a little help I think it can be done. Please let me know if I'm on an impossible mission or not!
