TivoWebPlus 2.1 Testing and Development

[petestrash]

Have you actually tried re-downloading the package?

John responded to you and fixed the issue after the 18/10 date still shown on the package.

If you look though the files you can see it has later dates.

Peter.

Could you guys be a bit more specific about what you're editing and where your edits go?

The code at line 52 of modules/ui_series.itcl is as follows:

    } elseif {$::version>=3} {
      regsub -all {^(A|AN|THE) } [string toupper $Title] {} t
      regsub -all {\'} [string range $t 0 4] {} t
      regsub -all {\{} [string range $t 0 4] {} t
      if {$::version>=4} {set flat "Flat"} else {set flat ""}
      set l [getFsidsByPrefix /Recording/NowShowingBy${flat}Title "1:$t" 6]
    } else {

This takes the "Title" and removes any leading "A,AN,THE" then removes any single quotes, then removes any {'s. The first four characters are then used to search the MFS database (/Recording/NowShowingByTitle/1:<first four characters of the munged title>).

The code needs to be improved as it is really just a quick hack and not very reliable (ie only the first four characters of the title are used to match against... and there are probably still issues with :'s, etc...). There is probably a much better way of doing this I just have not had a good look into it.

If you are having trouble then you could check your /Recording/NowShowingByFlatTitle/ directory (as you are probably using >v4) within MFS and let us know if you have leading 1:'s in the entries, as it could be I need to add a conditional into the code.

That's what my version shows

=[tivo:root]-# ls /Recording/NowShowingByFlatTitle/
ls: /Recording/NowShowingByFlatTitle/: No such file or directory

In fact, I can't find "Recording" anywhere on my DTiVo
=[tivo:root]-# find / -name Recording -print
=[tivo:root]-#
...or do I need to look at it via MFS_FTP or some MFS tools?

Use MFS under System in TWP.

[vancod]

Ooops- had MFS turned off in my menus.

I don't have the NowShowingByFlatTitle, but I do have NowShowingByTitle and they all start with "1:"

...so - it _should_ be working and it's not - correct?

[djl]

John -
This module really wasn't working at all with 6.2a, so I put together this version. It works fine on my series 2, but I make no guarantees about anything else. Also, it makes the assumption that NowShowingByTitle always has the 1: prefix, which for all I know is completely wrongheaded.

The code at line 52 of modules/ui_series.itcl is as follows:

    } elseif {$::version>=3} {
      regsub -all {^(A|AN|THE) } [string toupper $Title] {} t
      regsub -all {\'} [string range $t 0 4] {} t
      regsub -all {\{} [string range $t 0 4] {} t
      if {$::version>=4} {set flat "Flat"} else {set flat ""}
      set l [getFsidsByPrefix /Recording/NowShowingBy${flat}Title "1:$t" 6]
    } else {

This takes the "Title" and removes any leading "A,AN,THE" then removes any single quotes, then removes any {'s. The first four characters are then used to search the MFS database (/Recording/NowShowingByTitle/1:<first four characters of the munged title>).

The code needs to be improved as it is really just a quick hack and not very reliable (ie only the first four characters of the title are used to match against... and there are probably still issues with :'s, etc...).

Works for me! Thanks.

since the last 2 versions the cid functionality has not working here is the error i get.

-------INTERNAL SERVER ERROR------ --cut here--action:cid, path:, env:start today, code:'NONE'

The index might be corrupted... Go to Caller-ID and pull down 'Config'. Click 'Reset to default values and rebuild index', then save. Let me know if that clears it up.

yep thanks... how did that fix it.. even an upgrade and reboot didnt

[djl]

It indexes calls as they come in, to make searches faster. Index is stored in Tivoweb's data folder, so only a /var wipe would affect it.

I was running tivowebplus-v2.1.b3-080901 and just looked at the "info" page to take a look at my hard drive's SMART status. It appears that it was not a happy camper, so I just upgraded to tivowebplus-v2.1.b3-081018 and rebooted the tivo and my issues remain. Both of my Dtivo's are experiencing this issue, both are running 6.2a.

Any suggestions?
Any additional information I need to provide?

Thanks guys...


Below is what is reported on the "info" page, which is not the output I am used to:

Attached is a modified version of rss.itcl, now named todofeed.itcl. It provides the list of scheduled recordings in iCal format, rather than RSS. If you use Thunderbird or Outlook 2007 you can subscribe to this as a remote calendar, with the address http://yourtivo/todofeed.ics.

I'm currently running v2.1.b3-081122 (and the problem also existed under v2.1.b3-080924) on a UK Series 1 Standalone TiVo (software release: 2.5.5-01-1-023).

In tabular displays (Now Showing, ToDo, Search, etc.) of a multi-episode program, the EpTitle and the EpNum field (in Search result) display with an arbitrary 4 digit number (such as 5238, 4050, etc) that does not vary between episodes.

When I click through to the Episode data, the Episode Number field is always blank, and the Episode Title field is either blank or contains a string in the format "(8/16)".

It looks like the correct data exists (in the Episode Title field), but is not being accessed

The columns are dynamically selected using the RowFormat module (under System), so the first thing I'd suggest is to go there and press "Reset All to Defaults", then try the lists again. If you still get something strange, save the .html and attach it.
