Anyone gotten TIVOGUIDE TO WORK?

[philhu]

I have come very close.

I added stations/channels, they show up. But the dbload function is failing in dbload::process with a bad recordtype of 0.

I've tried to change the channels I am downloading, etc, but it keeps happenning. Because of this, the slice aborts and no data loads.

I have successfully loaded THE DOCTOR's PPV slices, so I know dbload20 is ok, the slices generated by tivoguide just seem corrupted.

Alot of people were working on this. Anyone get it working or know where the problem in the code is that can be fixed.

So close, yet so far...See below. Any help would be appreciated!

========================================
The problem, as I see it is the dbload process in the tivo is aborting...
The tvlog is complaining about a dbload:process - unknown type 0 (see below).
So I think the slice file generated is corrupted......

Any ideas where to begin to look?

======================================================
Running is as follows yields an error:
bash-2.02# /tvbin/tivosh /slice/dbload20 /slice/20020215.slice
dbload (0x0003000d)

while executing
"dbload $db $file"
(file "/slice/dbload20" line 22)

bash-2.02#

This looks like a problem with the number format.

The highest non size bit in the number is the negative flag.

I had this problem too in my slice development.

hi

Any hints as to how to fix it?

My serverid's are 7200002, etc.....

It is built on a windows box, running the cygwin shell on top of it
so is it a windows/byte swap problem?

Any ideas?

[philhu]

getting closer....

Now I no longer get a record type 0 error.....

I told the perl pgms to do binary output, so I think I was getting cr/lf pairs on output.

That problem is gone, but I am seeing an Assertion Error now
and the tivo reboots!

I would like to check my slices, and I want to use slicedump.pl, but cannot find it anywhere

Anyone know where it is???

It's on the groups.yahoo.com tivo_canada files area

hi

Now when I try to load, I get an error 0x0003000d from dbload...

I ran slicedump.pl, and it shows the slice is fine, no errors (except the expected orphan station error, since the slice does not define the station, just like the ppv slices 'the doctor' posts).

Here is my run:

% /slice/dbload20 /slice/20020216.SL
dbload (0x0003000d)

while executing
"dbload $db $file"
(file "/slice/dbload20" line 22)
child process exited abnormally
%


And /var/log/tverr shows:
Feb 16 21:01:15 (none) DbLoad[161]: DbLoader::GenericAttr file type = 151
Feb 16 21:01:15 (none) last message repeated 4 times
Feb 16 21:01:15 (none) DbLoad[161]: err 0x0003000d loading group item
Feb 16 21:01:15 (none) DbLoad[161]: Error in DbLoader::Process -- 0x0003000d
