IcedTivo is right -- hackman works just fine with the latest TivoWeb. And it was packaged with the Zipper and InstantCake once upon a time a loo-o-o-ong time ago. I don't think it ever was in...

Good news. In a flash of inspiration before I bit the bullet and rebuilt the machine, I tried swapping out the USB adapter with another TiVo and now all is well. Oddly, the other TiVo is also...

Nope. All else seems normal. Can telnet, TWP, FTP, etc. with no other symptoms. I'd hate to have to re-image and lose all the good recordings.

Weird...I've run MRV on my four TiVos for a couple of years with absolutely no problems. Now all of a sudden one of the machines will take literally hours to bring a program in from another room and...

I know it's been a long time and I don't know how many old TiVos and old TiVo hackers are out there, but I found a bug or two in Hackman and fixed them. They've been there for almost a year and a...

Thanks Red_Dog! It must be true that good things come to those who wait!

I've watched it for a few weeks and it acts just as ronnythunder describes...I now always have the most recent five Jeopardys in hand. Thanks!

That might do it, as I usually mark KUID. Stupid, now that I think about it. I'll have to try it out. Thanks for the tip!

I have an idea for a new hack that I could use some help with.

I like to watch Jeopardy live every night, but sometimes I miss it. If I set up a season pass to record all episodes, I end up...

I think your diagnosis may be correct. Usually /var/ doesn't get wiped but it happens occasionally. I'd pull the drive and run disk diagnostics on it to see if it has bad sectors, etc.

If you're referring to the PC side, I like ws_ftp. On the TiVo side, tivoftpd is pretty much the standard and I haven't heard of many problems with it.

The fact that it's not finding $hm::compat (a hackman variable) means that there's something amiss in the installation. I would suggest removing the current installation of TWP and hackman and...

Just what I was going to suggest! (prior to your edit)

No, it should still be there. It's the date in the footer (January, 2009) or whatever you've changed it to (the options on the preference page allow for a more descriptive label, such as "Edit files...

Would it be possible for someone to add the patch descriptions to the file, particularly for 6.2 and 6.2a? That would be most helpful!

See my signature for the latest hackman version which fixes a couple of bugs and adds a feature to clean up the main TiVo menu and get rid of the promo and showcase items.

hackman, like all TivoWebPlus modules, is started by its presence in the ./modules directory. The TivoWebPlus that your rc.sysinit.author file is starting is located in the /ptvupgrade/tivowebplus/...

How are you starting TWP? Make sure that all old versions are deleted, make a fresh install (I prefer /var/hack/TivoWebPlus), install hackman and make sure there are no antiquated start instructions...

Sorry, that's way above my pay grade and I rely on the kindness of more knowledgable strangers to provide the appropriate patches. They've done a nice job with the S2 versions (up through 9.4) but...

It should be fixed now. Happy Thanksgiving!

Confirmed that this is a problem and I'll look at it over the next few days. Thanks for reporting it!

Yes, it works with the latest TWP and you should read the ReadMe to troubleshoot your installation.

I've played around with it and have been unable to duplicate the error. I'm stumped, especially since this has been out for a few years and nobody had commented on anything like this before. Sorry...

I'm sorry, I don't understand where it's getting stuck -- "set password?"

Try unchecking the Use native 'SendKey" (Series 1) box on the preferences page. It slows the process down and may work for you. And thanks for the kind words!
