TivoWebPlus v2.0 Development and Testing

[BTUxNine]

I will try and get around to having a go at this during the week (things are a little hectic this month due to moving house). The only thing that may not make it into the bundle is some of the default row formats, as the existing defaults were chosen to be compatible with the older versions and reduce the risk of breaking old screen-scraping applications (really just limited to the Now Playing and To Do lists).

Quelle Coincidence... if things go as planned, I'll be moving to a new house beginning of August.

Here is another proposed patch for additional CSS support and adjustments.

I've rolled these changes into distribution 070703. I have not updated CVS yet as there were changes to a large number of modules so I think I will wait until a few users have done a sanity check of the changes as I would hate to figure out how to roll back all the CVS changes if we need to temporarily back out

I've rolled these changes into distribution 070703. ...

Thanks, John. Let me know if you have any problems and I'll fix them.

I've updated my web page to showcase the new and modified themes. See my signature for link.

Note: There were lots of pages to change, so if anyone finds a page where the text is hard to read over the background, please let me know and I'll fix it.

I am unable to see a "Merge" button even after changing ShowMergeButton to 1 in tivoweb.cfg. Any suggestions?

Thanks

I am unable to see a "Merge" button even after changing ShowMergeButton to 1 in tivoweb.cfg. Any suggestions?

The button should be found at the bottom of the NowPLaying screen. Did you change the value in the tivoweb.cfg file found within the "config" directory?

Thanks for the suggestion. I changed it in both locations and it is now working.

Sorry to bother the good forum members again so soon - I was unable to find an answer via google. I am concerned about the following entry in my log file and was wondering if anybody could tell me how to debug the problem or it it is a bug. I suspected duplicate entries in sysinit and sysinit.author, but this is not the case.

/var/log/tivoweb.log/

I just updated to the latest from something back in January or earlier and got the same thing! drove me crazy. I know the port is not in use, and I know I just did an update, so my config stuff should be valid. Then I saw This post that tells how the config folder was moved to var! I copied my setting there & bamn! it worked.

Just curious how I can get some code in the releases to help out instead of just complaining?

Other fix for ui.itcl:

everywhere you see:

$type == 1

make it

$type == 1 || $type == 11

this fixes some minor detail if you set up the season pass via the tivo website, those passes are type 11.

This patch (from early 2005) is still not in there, just updated TWP and had to add (also updated section where $sptype==1). Also, I see the TONS of work done in the UI area, wow! great job. that is quite advanced from where it was. I attempted to add the stream size into the mix, and to change how the duration is displayed to be like it used to for partial recordings (12/30 min) and had to stop to really back up and look at all the code. What an update from 1.2!

Great job all, Thank you.

John1980 and BTUxNine are the "keepers" of the code. (Thanks!) When I've made changes, I create a patch file and post it in this thread for those guys to review. If they're OK with the change, they apply the patch to CVS and to the release package for folks to download and update from.
You can see a recent example of this (that resulted in the 070703 release) a few post back.
If you're not sure how to create the patch file, PM me and I'll tell you my steps.
I'm sure John1980 and/or BTUxNine will chime in if they have other thoughts, but they both mentioned moving, so it might be a while.

One more quick question on info.itcl - what are "Invisible" recordings? I used to only have a few of them listed, and now they are taking up half my available space on one of my units (DTivo v6.2a). I'm not contesting the space usage, just wondering what type of recordings are "Invisible".

As the title suggests - I just used the "Upgrade" tool to go from an 0704 release to the 0703 release. One old Series 1 and one not-quite-as-old DTiVo (Series1)

Now, on both units I cannot list shows

NPL:
action_nowshowing '' ''
invalid command name "bodytext_start"
while executing
"bodytext_start"
(procedure "MOD::action_nowshowing" line 3)
invoked from within
"$cmd $p1 $p2 $p3"
(procedure "do_action" line 19)
invoked from within
"do_action $action $chan $part $env 1"

To Do:
action_todo '' ''
invalid command name "bodytext_start"
while executing
"bodytext_start"
(procedure "gbl_header" line 3)
invoked from within
"gbl_header $todotype"
(procedure "MOD::action_todo" line 61)
invoked from within
"$cmd $p1 $p2 $p3"
(procedure "do_action" line 19)
invoked from within
"do_action $action $chan $part $env 1"

Assistance appreciated. I'm considering going back to the 0704 release, but don't want to make matters worse....

Edit:
Yeah, pretty much every item that calls "bodytext_start" is bombing (which appears to be everything)

[SteveT]

...Now, on both units I cannot list shows

NPL:

....

bodytext_start was a new proc added in this release. I suggest doing a "Quit and Restart" and advise results.

On my tivos, I only have 1 short recording marked as invisible, and it's in /Recording/Demo (in mfs)

Well, that did it. I just ASSumed that the restart following th upgrade did that...

Thanks!
