TivoWebPlus 2.1 Testing and Development

[bubba123321]

Thanks,
So using the current work arround,

It looks like we can successfully toggle Fav and Rcd. Is there anything else we can toggle?

I am running tivowebplus-v2.1.b2-071112.tgz on my series 1 Tivo. I upgrade to new releases as soon as they are posted.

I was once able to do a manual record but it stopped working somewhere along the line. The manual record menu is displayed and after I fill in all of the info and click the record button at the bottom, nothing happens and it never shows up on the todo list. The menu remains the way I filled it in. Below the record button it shows "manrec.itcl module version v0.2.6"

Any suggestions?

I've compiled a new package with the latest CVS changes... I have created a manual recording on my US Series 1 (v3.0) system without issues using this release.

I upgraded to the 11-14 version and it still doesn't work. Maybe my upgrades are not working. The main menu still shows TivoWebPlus v2.1.b0. Shouldn't it show TivoWebPlus v2.1.b2?

thanks,

yes, the latest bundle should be reading v2.1.b2
have you checked the logs?
did you do a full restart? (yes, update SHOULD do that on its own, but it hasn't been modified to do so, yet)
did you run the distro check in info?

The upgrade is not working then. The menu should display v2.1.b2 and when you hover over it the date/name of the distribution should be displayed. You may like to try a restart of TWP, or possibly a manual upgrade... it's a little puzzling as I would have expected some error messages to be displayed during the update process if something was going wrong (ie permissions, etc)...

[durrence]

I had been installing updates by browsing TivoWebPlus and selecting update from the system settings menu. Apparantly they were not taking for some reason.

I manually installed the bundle with the tar command and now everything seems to be working perfectly.

I still don't know why the upgrade didn't work. Now that I have the latest version installed maybe it will work in the future

I'm having a problem remounting read/write from the menu with my DTiVo HDVR2 running 6.2a. When I try to remount I get:

INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
--cut here--
action:sysadmin
path:/remount-rw
env:
invalid command name "sysadmin_remount-rw"
while executing
"sysadmin_$link $chan $path"
(procedure "MOD::action_sysadmin" line 17)
invoked from within
"$cmd $chan $path $env"
--cut here--

I can telnet in an issue a simple "rw" and it works but the remount rw or ro from the menu does not. I'm sure it is something stupid I failed to do -- I upgraded to 2.1 from 2.0 using the menu upgrade and since leaving 2.0 I have had this problem.

I've done clean installs using the last 2 builds and can't get it to run on my SA S2 with 9.1. Here's the console output where things go awry:

I just rebooted the tivo (TWP starts up from rc.sysinit.author). Here's the log (where things go awry):

I just upgraded to 071114 on two series2 directtv tivo machines. The asx links are not functioning. I am not getting any errors. I click the link and the browser spins it's wheels and never loads the windows media player. It seems the asx's are not being created on the fly.

I'm running v2.1.b2

Its 11:40 on Saturday, and the Channel Grid starts with Friday (yesterday). I would have thought it more useful to start with Saturday.

The last column of the grid (Thursday) has data up to 16:00, but all the cells from 16:00 to 23:45 are blank. I'm in Pacific time, and the DTiVo is running 6.2 with "do not observe daylight savings" set. The blank zone is the overlap to the next day in UTC (sometimes cells after 16:00 have data in them, but only if they are a continuation of a show that started before 16:00)

You could try create a file called channelgrid.cfg in your config directory that contains "set START_DAY today" as it defaults to yesterday.

This might get a little messy as the Tivo runs in GMT so handling the edge case could complicate/bloat the code more than the benefit is worth. If I have time I might get around to having a look and see if I can get this handling local timezones... it's not so easy as my units run in GMT/UTC so it's harder to test.

I have just updated the bundle (071118) with the latest CVS changes and applied a couple of fixes that should resolve the problems people were experiencing with the ASX/Extract and SysAdmin modules.

At one point there was talk of a plugin mechanism for the showing screen. Is that still planned?

not exactly plugin, but yes
