WHAT DO I DO IF I FIND A BUG?

Check the FAQ, which can be found here: http://tivowebplus.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Try a "Full Reload" from TivoWeb's "Restart" menu item.

If you still get the error, "Quit" TivoWeb (again, using the "Restart" menu item in TivoWeb), then start it again.

If the error still occurs, try restarting the TiVo (using the TiVo's Restart command found in the Settings menu, or the equivalent shell command, restart).

If you still get the same problem, try searching for the error you are receiving in this thread or in the DealDatabase forum as a whole.

If you find that the problem has not been previously addressed, do the following:

HOW DO I SUBMIT A BUG REPORT?

If you happen to discover a bug or have a problem with TivoWebPlus, there are certain things that we need to know in order to properly diagnose your problem. So, when reporting a bug or a problem, please provide the following information:

-- TiVo model number (i.e. HDVR2, SAT-T60)
-- TiVo software version (i.e. 2.5.5, 3.1.1b, 4.0)
-- TiVoWebPlus version
-- method used to hack the TiVo
-- contents of /var/log/tivoweb.log (if it contains any error messages)
-- detailed description of the problem (error messages are helpful)
-- steps we should take to duplicate your problem (i.e. which screen you're on and what button you're clicking)
-- did you test with any other versions or was this working on a previous version? if so, which version?

Failure to provide the above information will most likely result in your problem not being fixed.

I am running 4.0.1b and tivowebplus v1.0. I downloaded an updated webremote file and the sendkey file from musclenerd. Thanks all for those.

My first problem is when I click on Live tv it does not switch tuners, it brings up the guide? Is this a known problem? Can I hook up the serial and see anything? If so I can pull it out of the entertainment center and plug it in or whatever you need.

second, if I hit the Directv button, go to now showing, as I scroll down the now showing list it will jump right back to live tv. i cant get to and play my recorded shows with webremote.

Not a "problem", just undesired operation? Thanks

4.0.1b with 4.0.1a kernel

I would be greatful for any help.

[ocntscha]

If I want to stop it from a BASH prompt inside the tivo I do pkill -f tivoweb, if I want to start it back up I use the same command I start it with in rc.sysinit.author, /hack/tivowebplus/tivoweb &

Don't know if that would be the "recommended" way as I've never run across a recommended way but it gets the job done for me.

The following will work with v1.2.2 and above (replace /var/hack with your path):

/var/hack/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb restart

In fact the following can also be used: "stop", "start", "status"

When I try to launch TWP after installing it with bash TivoWebPlus-1.0-final.tivo.tpm, I get the "invalid attribute" error.

When I try to launch TWP after installing it with bash TivoWebPlus-1.0-final.tivo.tpm, I get the "invalid attribute" error.

Are you typing in TivoWebPlus-1.0-final.tivo.tpm in @ the bash prompt if so, that not going to do anything...


bash: ./tivoweb


try that

[jswen]

Yes, I'm trying that (without console switch, it just goes to prompt again):

Ok I have been reading there forums for months, actually started thinking about hacking Tivo sometime last year. I finally took the plunge and killinitrid my DSR708 to 4.0.1b. I got tivowebplus installed, but I can't schedule recordings. I have been looking around about this issue here, tivocommunity, and goole for the past 6 hours and I can't find an answer. I have other problems, but not being able to use tivowebplus to schedule recordings is beginning to be a real pain, I can deal with streaming/extraction later. Anyways everytime I click on a program in the channel guide I get this error:
--cut here--
action_series '/33014' ''
Error couldn't find starting offset in program key
while executing
"error "Error couldn't find starting offset in program key""
(procedure "get_programshowings" line 56)
invoked from within

invoked from within
"::action_$action $chan $part $env"
("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval {::action_$action $chan $part $env}"
--cut here--

Any suggestions?

invalid attribute: TunerCount
while executing
"dbobj $AvConfig get TunerCount"

So does this mean that TunerCount was introduced after version 2.01 or is my version corrupted? I don't see any symptoms in the user functions : play, record,etc...

[gram99]

I have installed tivowebplus and it's all up and running fine. The only problem is when i acsess some of the menus in TWP it the picture on my tivo stutters until the search has finished, Is this a known problem?

Thanks
