PGM's sc.tcl for TiVolution Magazine & Showcases

[Pointfreak!]

Just making it easier to find, instead of scrolling through 19 pages (and growing) of the TiVolution "Master Post"! For full details, read this post. (http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=7060)

If you own a TiVo and use SLE, donate a little extra!

[BBQ-AllStar]

Yep, and don't forget to donate here....!

[synthesis]

if you want to donate for sle, go ahead.

But I don't think we should start donating for scripts (unless you want to donate to keep the board running). JMO.

[Pointfreak!]

>>I don't think we should start donating for scripts<<

Neither do I. Thats why I said "and". :rolleyes:

[BBQ-AllStar]

I meant donating to keep this forum up & running...

Vadim had a donation link last month...I donated...now I can't find it. He must have received enough $$ to cover new costs...

[synthesis]

what's with the rolling eyes?

It wasn't a criticism of what you posted. :confused:

[Pointfreak!]

Who said it was? :rolleyes:



:D

[synthesis]

oh yeah?

read between the lines:


where's that damn middle finger icon...

[Pointfreak!]

Hehe...You're way too tense amigo. Have a beer!

[Glock115]

Can someone please explain how to add this file to my Tivo. I already have the subtest working. TIA

[Pointfreak!]

[Glock115]

Is there anyway to tell if the file was executed properly other then waiting until the service download?

[Glock115]

The last line I received through my bash prompt was:
retrying after errTMActiveLockConflict.....
done!

I am not sure if it was executed properly and would rather not waiting until tomm. morning to find out. Thanks

[StanSimmons]

I got the same message last night, this morning the showcases were working! :D

all the 'retrying after errTMActiveLockConflict.....' means is that when the script tried to access a certain part of the database, it was in use (probably by myworld). you may see it more than once, it just depends on what the tivo is doing. these are normal. since there wasn't any specific error messages, and your tivo didn't reboot, you are good to go. (the tivo tends to reboot if there is a problem doing stuff with tivosh).

[twistie]

well i moved SC into /var/hack
then activated w/ "chmod +x SC.TCL ,, (am i way off in the boonies here? , probably) , it didn't "do" anything , i know that i would have to wait to get the showcases , i just wonder if those are the right commands , ( should i reboot?)thanks

[BBQ-AllStar]

transer Sc.tcl to var/hack
verify it's there--->ls

if so, then "chmod +x Sc.tcl" <enter>
then run it,

"./Sc.tcl"<enter>

Should say "done!"

PS make sure the name of the file is correct, cause it is case sensitive. I've heard of it named different names from SC.tcl to Sc.tcl to sc.tcl.

[twistie]

thank you very much mr BAR B Q !! i knew i was missing something ! this seems to have worked as far as saying "done" is concerned ,, now , is there anything else? reboot? or just wait? thanks you muchly

[BBQ-AllStar]

Just need to wait for 2:30 AM service download which will install Showcases, etc...it may take more than 1 day though...check your menus in the morning...

And, your welcome!

Can you Help Me ?

bash: no job control in this shell
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# CD
bash-2.02# rz
äCCCCCCCCCCCBB0BBBB0BBBB0BBBB0BBbash-2.02# bash-2.02# chmod 777 SC.TCL
bash-2.02# ./SC.TCL
bash: ./SC.TCL: No such file or directory
bash-2.02#

After transfering the file I even checked and it was there. But then it says "No such file or directory"

What the heck?

[poppagene]

make sure that the capitalization matches that of the file in tivo.

"ls" the directory to see how it's spelled and make that the file that you chmod and "./" is spelled the exactly the same with upper and lower case matching.

[paulmlee]

i did that.
What is funny is that there is no var directory in the root of the hard drive. I think I mush have installed a funny version of xtreme or something. Any other ideas? I've done this before three times on three different tivos and they all worked fine. But the other three were philips and had different versions of xtreme on them.

[poppagene]

doesn't matter what directory you upload sc.tcl to. just run it once

[Hans]

From Hans


bash: ./SC.TCL: No such file or directory

[mrblack51]

make sure you download it to the /var/hack or somewhere else in var. otherwise, you need to mount your root partition as read/write.

if you dont, it will say it transfered, but it really hasnt

[paulmlee]

for some reason there is no var directory

[BBQ-AllStar]

Try this...

bash: no job control in this shell
bash-2.02#
bash-2.02# cd /var/hack <enter>
bash-2.02# rz <enter>

Xmodem SC.TCL
bash-2.02# ls
bash-2.02# chmod 777 SC.TCL <enter>
bash-2.02# . /SC.TCL <enter>
done!


I think you need a "space" after "."

[Hans]

That don't work!!!!!!

no such file or directory

[BBQ-AllStar]

When you "ls" the var/hack directory is the SC.TCL file listed??

try "chmod 777 /var/hack/SC.TCL" <enter>

and ". /var/hack/SC.TCl"

Make sure the file is there.....and is named correctly.

[Hans]

When you "ls" the var/hack directory is the SC.TCL file listed?? YES!!!!!

try "chmod 777 /var/hack/SC.TCL" <enter> ""No such file or directory""

and ". /var/hack/SC.TCl"

Make sure the file is there.....and is named correctly.

[Ringbill]

I followed BBQ's directions exactly last night and they worked perfectly the first time. Not sure what is up with y'alls problems, but if the file is there when you run ./SC.TCL it will say "done!"...if it worked.

paulmlee and hans,

If you are both having problems with the "No such file or directory" error, check the first line of the file by typing:

"head SC.TCL" (Don't type the quotes, and use appropriate capitalization)

Make sure the first line says the following:

#!/bin/bash

It sounds as if the script doesn't point to bash correctly. Just a thought of something to verify. Remember that Unix is very case sensitive.

did you get that hans?

paulmlee,

Did that help?

Zanzibar

[paulmlee]

I'm actually trying to help out Hans. I never had this problem.

Thanks for the info though.

Paul

[Hans]

No that don't work

SC.TCL command not found

[sat_geek]

Hans,
Mine had a problem with the caps. Try this:
1. Run "ls".
2. if it is in all caps type "mv SC.TCL sc.tcl"
3 Then type "./sc.tcl" (No spaces) or "/var/hack/sc.tcl" (no spaces)

[Hans]

That don't work there

[synthesis]

type "pwd" and c/p the results here.

type "ls" and c/p paste the results here (if ls doesn't work, type "echo *")

[yngdiego]

So is it fairly certain that activating Showcases doesn't in any way HELP future software downloads of the OS? PGM seemed to say that those updates go directly into the MFS and don't get processed like the slice files. I don't want to enable the showcases to find out that I accidentally opened myself up to unwanted satellite software updates.

[mvette]

Zanzibar,

I had the same problem way back... I was tring to send the file you should transmit the file with zmodem

Mike

[Zanzibar]

oops.. back button worked wrong. This msg shouldn't exist :)
