This NCID (Network Caller ID) release adds some fixes and some scripts

I was looking at ncid-fly in your fly2osd package and do not think it will function with ncid using the command given in reaadme.txt or in the ncid-fly script:

ncid --no-gui --program ncid-fly &...

Thanks David for your solution to the HME problem. The startncid script already supports ncid-fly so if your new instructions are followed and ncid-fly is enabled instead of ncid-tivo, the HME...

Is it possible to pause the HME app and use text2osd without causing a reboot?

It's a good thing my mixup of the module name did not confuse you :)

The fix is simple enough it that is should not break older TiVo boxes so it will be in release 0.84, which will be very soon.
...

If it shows up after it clears the screen, then maybe the way it uses text2osd to clear the screen is causing it.

The last four lines of tivo-ncid are:


sleep $TivoDelay
$TivoOSD $TivoCS
...

Is the "@stdout" displayed with the Caller ID? Or is it displayed after it is cleared?

It would be helpful if you told me what version of NCID you are using and what programs. I'll assume you...

For a while the various NCID programs always created PID files (the yac2ncid gateway still does because it uses it). Currently PID files are options. The startncid script was thrown together to...

You are correct if you are using a recient version of NCID. I assumed you were using an old version of the startncid script and then completely forgot about the newer version using pgrep. Here are...

The error indicates ncidd is not running anymore. The /var/hack/bin/startncid script is not safe when trying to start programs already running. You would need to kill ncidd and ncid (either tivocid...

The startncid script should be started without the &. The cd is not necessary and $PATH does not need to be set as suggested in a previous post (startncid sets $PATH for NCID deamons to run...

Looks like your modem got hung up. Glad a reboot was able to fix it.

The modem port on a S2 is /dev/ttyS3. It is a symbolic link to cua3. Do a "ls -l /dev/ttyS?" to make sure it is correct for your TiVo.

Maybe your modem is bad. Do you have any way to test the...

My script to build the TiVo packages broke and did not include startncid, initmodem, tivocid, and tivoncid. I repaired the script and uploaded corrected packages called ncid-0.83-1-ppc-tivo.tgz and...

Not sure what version of NCID you are running on your second TiVo but it uses ncid-hangup which was removed a couple of releases ago. The trace indicates text2osd is expecting input it is not...

You have multiple ncid programs running. You need to kill them off. Only one instance should be running. That may be the problem.

Each time you run tivoncid it generates

tivosh...

OK it looks like tivoncid is the problem. Post the output of: sh -x /var/hack/bin/tivoncid

Do not run in background. Need to know if command line prompt comes back. If it doesn't, call yourself...

More information is needed to determine where the problem is. First look at /var/log/cidcall.log and see if the calls are listed in the log file. If they are then the problem is most likely...
