No. The original calculations were based upon that data. Unfortunately, they are also now outdated as explained in this post:

Another post to reference would be this one:

I've been futzing with Apache (on Linux) trying to run an SSL-only server as a front-end for secure access to my TivoWeb from the internet.

I've yet to find the magic Apache SSL httpd.conf settings, but if I try and run it as non-SSL it works just fine proxying to/from my Tivo box.

While looking in some newsgroups I stumbled across something that I may try instead of Apache: DeleGate, which claims to run on Unix, Windows and Mac. The newsgroup article had some details on how to use DeleGate for a task such as what I'm trying to do with my Tivo.

The newsgroup article that pointed me to DeleGate: http://*******.com/36ptt
The DeleGate home page: http://www.delegate.org/delegate/

I will report back here my ultimate success (with details) of securely being able to access my home Tivo via the Internet.

Hrmm.. I didn't find it too difficult. I have Apache 2.0 on Fedora Core 1. On my installation, I simply edited /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssh.conf and placed the following within the default SSH VirtualHost context:

Code:

<IfModule mod_proxy.c>
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPass / http://tivo/
   ProxyPassReverse / http://tivo/
</IfModule>

and if you want authentication, also add the following within the IfModule context above:

Code:

   <Proxy *>
      Order deny, allow
      Allow from all
      AuthType Basic
      AuthName "TiVo"
      AuthUserFile /etc/httpd/passwd/passwords
      Require valid-user
   </Proxy>

You may have to use your TiVo's IP address instead of "tivo" in the references above as well as change the path to the password file as necessary. Use 'htpasswd' to create the file if you don't already have one.

Aww crap! I was only messing with httpd.conf and ignoring ssh.conf, trying to put SSL-ish stuff in there!!! (Did they go back to multiple config files with Apache V2.0?) Anyway, I have the same setup- Fedora Core 1, so I'll go back and do it right with your fine help.

Now, here's a bigger challenge: I've go two Tivo boxes and would like to be able to setup something like this:

Code:

   ProxyPass /tivo1 http://tivo1/
   ProxyPassReverse /tivo1 http://tivo1/
   ProxyPass /tivo2 http://tivo2/
   ProxyPassReverse /tivo2 http://tivo2/

As soon as you try using something other than "/" in the the ProxyPass directive things really crap out (try it and you'll see what I mean).

Thanks!!

Is there supposed to be a clickable link for the User Interface module?
I've been typing the ui after the address to access it, but I see links
that say "User Interface" on some of the demonstration pages online.

Thanks,
J

Yes, there should be. Try doing a Full Reload. If that doesn't work, start tivoweb with "tivoweb console" or review the /var/log/tivoweb.log for errors.

That's the entire contents of your log? That appears to be an incomplete error message..

Another errDbNotFound issue I see... No one has been able to figure out what causes this. My recommendation is to keep doing a Full Reload until it works, or possibly try rebooting your TiVo. Sorry I can't provide a quick fix for this one. If anyone else has any insight, please speak up!

TWP uses a stricter criteria to test whether to display an Episode Title in the Now Showing Display than the original TW. TWP requires the Program Entry to contain a non empty series,
while TW will display the EpisodeTitle (if it exists) without a series entry.

This effects the display of ty+ files inserted with mfs_ftp (which does not synthesize a series). The Episode Title does in fact show with the program description, but thats a click away.

It seems to me that the looser criteria in TW is more functional, unless there really is a problem about displaying bogus Episode Titles that I don't know about.

Why go through all this trouble? It would be much easier (and more secure) to tunnel the connection through SSH. ssh -L 80:tivo:80

In the user interface program descriptions, the "star ratings" for movies are not being shown. I notice that the html for the star ratings is showing up in the log file instead.

Are there any instructions/FAQ/anything, on how to properly remove the old TiVoWeb?

(And I have been using the "search"button for several hours. No Joy!

stop tivoweb, then delete the directory and its contents
