Most of the time it will show fixed 0 showings. It depends on the timing of when the tivo refreshes the guide data and there's no way to predict that.

ok, looks like there are 2 places for logs, both in /var/hack/xPlusz and in /hack/xPlusz.
the one in /hack/xPlusz seems to be the one for the #3 loop and it shows that for 48 hrs every 15 mins it ran and found 0 every time?
i did go and run the old noppv.tcl version 1.2 right after xPlusz ran, it fixed 1500 shows, but xPlusz had found 0?

Are you actually having a problem when you try to record a PPV show? I'm running noppv just as you described and it's working for me.

Heya Zapper
does the new sc.tcl dated 2.4.03 work on your xPlusZ 3.1 OS?
just curious since i have NOSDD enabled, i was wondering if this was a workaround to get the showcases and tivolution magazine
thanks in advance

unfortunetly yes i am haveing a problem, when i try to record a showing in advance i get the "buy & record" screen, and it then says no cost is available and kicks be back to the "buy & record" screen.
this is happening on both the new xtreme25 to 2.5.2 and the xtreme25 /kraven to 2.5.2 tivos so what ever i did wrong i did twice.
if i run the noppv version 1.2 it says it fixs the ppvs and i can do future recording. but noppvsz says fixed 0?
will PM so log snips if you want.

I've attached a shell script which will gather some info from your tivo to diagnose your problem. Unzip the file and transfer xts.sh to your tivo, chmod +x xts.sh, run xts.sh, and transfer the output file /var/hack/xprob, zip it and attach to a post (alternately you could email the xprob file to me, send pm for email addy).

Thank You for your Time and Help with this!

One other file I need:
/var/hack/xPlusz/st.dat

from /var/hack/xPlusz/

Try deleting the /var/hack/xPlusz/st.dat file. The next time noppvsz.tcl runs it will rebuild it.
Even when it finds 0 shows to fix, the process whould take 40-50 seconds. Yours is taking only 1 second so something is not right.

Is the TivoWeb in the 2.5.2 upgrade a 1.9.4 virgin? There was some subtest discussion, but I noticed the following in 1.9.4 at that point, straight from the TivoWeb Home Page in sched.itcl:
eval "[base64dec aWYgeyAkcmVsb2FkID09IDAgfSB7IGV2YWwg]\[base64dec \"
...and continues on to visually resemble "giving someone the 'bird'". It's worth checking out.

That code has been checked out and seems to be benign as implemented with xupgrade.

when i got home it appeared that the noppv loop had frozen as the logs showed it had not ran for 4 hrs, so i deleted the st.dat, killed the noppv and sleep loops, ran "#3,1200" and it now appears to be working just fine(8 hrs later) on both the boxs i have. even when it has 0 fixs, it now takes 30-40 sec.
Thank You for Your Time and Help, and for such wonderful software to play with :>

I installed xPlusz 3.10 (2.52) on top of 2.51 extreme dsr6000. Everything seems to work except Locals. I first did #21,1 and then #60,41. When I did I got a message something close to “reset PBP” then “Dumploc” and finally “invalid id 41, reas=998 #60,41”. I am running subed and live in West Palm Beach. My other DSR6K is also running xPlusz 3.10 and does get the locals.
I really can’t figure why one 6k gets the locals and the other doesn’t. The only difference is that I backed up the first 6k and used that backup to restore the second 6k.
UPDATE, fixed. I restored and did xPlusz from scratch. It works just fine. Still not sure why a resrore of an existing complete xPlusz install didn't work (after a delete everything, of course).

There have been some changes in the guide data that is being sent (that's what I understand) and many locals from the 101° satellite as well as all the locals on the 119° bird are gone and cannot be recovered using mvchannels. You need another script, midupdate.tcl to get them. Check out these threads:
no locals or tba -- help!
