TivoWebPlus 2.1 Testing and Development

[Soapm]

I got in TWP but I don't see Hackman. Is it no longer part of the build?

[IcedTivo]

I answered you in the hackman thread...

[Soapm]

Looks like this is coming from reading a signed int instead of an unsigned int. Change the following line in get_space_tcl from:

Where is get_space_tcl located? I don't find it on my drive but I am getting that same error.

It should be in modules/info.itcl

thanks, that worked...

I gather that v2.1.b3 (oztivo-091208) is the latest and final update?

Are there any alternative distributions or even underground patches or hobbiest builds that fix any of the bugs?

Running HDR312 with 32megs Ram, 150 GB drive, Turbonet, etc...

Thanks

What bugs are you referring to? The latest build is v2.1.b3-110622 and is available at http://sites.google.com/site/thomsontivo/tivowebplus4. It rolled up a bunch of patches and bug fixes that had accumulated over the years.

Thank you. The bug I'm referring to is this error I receive when deleting more than a handful of shows through UI/NPL:

Any ideas?

Excuse me if this has already been fixed on CVS or someone else has already posted a patch.

Anyway, here are the changes required for the "UI->Folders" to work correctly:
1) From folders.itcl, change line 921 from:
set form_td [td "ALIGN=CENTER" [html_form_checkbox "fsid($fsid)" ""]]
to:
set form_td [td "ALIGN=CENTER" [html_form_checkbox "fsida($fsid)" ""]]
2) From confirm.itcl, change line 33 from:
if {$id!=""} {set fsid($id) 1}
to:
if {$id!=""} {set fsida($id) 1}
3) For some reason folders.itcl references checkall.js instead of CheckAll.js and since I don't know where to change that I simply created a copy of script file as "checkall.js".

The folders.itcl has been broken since several versions so I hope this will help the developer correct these issues for the upcoming release.

Started messing around with updating my folder definitions with holiday time on my hands and implemented these changes to try and fix problems. Actually #2 is already present in the latest TWP although #1 was not. Still having difficulty getting non-series recordings to assign to a folder and even when they do they sometimes go back to unassigned after trying to add something else.

I can't get TWP to run.

At the bash I type:

FamRoom2-bash# /TivoWebPlus/tivoweb &

And get:

FamRoom2-bash# Warning: An http server was already running

How can I tell what this server is that's running? I do a ps ax and don't see anything except gotomydvr. Could that be causing the problem?

It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure gotomydvr is a TWP instance.

and this is what I get with netstat:

FamRoom2-bash# netstat
...

Try netstat -aln

In case it bugs anyone that the log module won't work for one day every four years, here's a quick fix.

[spitfires]

Thank you. The bug I'm referring to is this error I receive when deleting more than a handful of shows through UI/NPL:

Any ideas?

Funnily enough I just fixed this one in my copy the other day.

Edit libs/btutils
at line 620 change "transaction {" to "RetryTransaction {"

i.e. section of code now reads

  while {$i<$bmax} {
    set lasti $i
    RetryTransaction {
      #~ while {$i<$blen}
      foreach $vars .....

[dirty1]

Thank you spitfires, that worked like a charm!

Here's an update for the todofeed module, which provides an iCal-formatted todo list that is viewable in most calendar programs. It fixes a character set problem where non-English accents would break the feed. This version also validates to the iCalendar 2.0 Strict ruleset, if that kind of thing keeps you up at night.

Why does the Search by Title + Movies feature return different results than the same search in the TiVo UI? For example, I was just browsing through the movies for the next two weeks, and both the TiVo and TiVoWebPlus returned Blade Runner: The Final Cut on Encore HD, but TWP did not return Blade Runner, which is also on. The TiVo listed both. I have noticed before quite a few times that the TiVo UI would list an item while TWP does not, and sometimes even the reverse, where the Movie filter excludes the program on the TiVo UI, but it shows up on TWP. Obviously, there must be some sort of difference between the two filter mechanisms, but what? I don't mind at all TWP listing a handful of programs that the TiVo UI does not think are movies, but I very much would rather TWP not miss any movie listings, as this might easily cause me to miss recording something I very much want to record.
