(Deprecated) TiVoWebPlus 1.0

[jayazusa]

MrBlack51, I will be honest I used the Sleepers script to hack my DirectTivo Hdvr2, I am trying to upgrade from Tivoweb1.9.4 to the TivoWebPlus 1.0. I have teleneted into the box done the following.

mount -o remount,rw / (to make the dirve read write)

mv /usr/tivoweb-tcl /usttivoweb-tcl.old (Backing up old directory)

bash TivoWebPlus-1.0-final.tivo.tpm (to install)

Selecting /usr/tivoweb-tcl as the directory and telling it to start

When I lanuch the browser I still come up with TivoWeb 1.9.4
Can you assist me?

Thanks in advance,

Jay

Attached is a diff file to version webremote.itcl,v 1.17.2.2.

Yes I used the version variable. Although, I do not have a non 4.X unit to test with it should work.

As detailed in the reference thread, this module expects Musclenerd's sendkey to be in your path. If not you need to edit line 30
set command "sendkey"
to point to where you put sendkey.

you didnt stop tivoweb, so the old version is still running. you can restart your machine, or stop tivoweb via the tivoweb interface and then start it from the command line

I try to access my DSR6000 from work with TWP almost every day. Almost without fail, TWP is not accessible though I can still telnet and do other functions. I thought I had posted this in this thread a long time ago, but I can't find it. All I can do is reboot the Tivo to get TWP working again. Is there any way to safely, simply kill the stuck TWP process and start it again without crashing the machine? Then again, why does TWP seem to die so much? And why hasn't it been updated since March? Ack!

Sorry, but "it crashes, why hasn't it been fixed?" isn't really an effective way to describe a problem.

I would really love to see the Mail screen allow multiple deletions at a time. Functionally this could be similiar to deleting multiple recordings from the now playing screen. I am not sure if anyone else would be interested in having this as a feature or if anyone has suggested it before, but I thought I would put the idea out there just in case. I highly doubt I'm the first person to think of this though. Thanks for the great work.

1) a tivo is a completey unsecured *nix box. putting it on the net at all is a VERY BAD idea, of course it's crashing. it's a minor miracle if it hasn't been recruited into a zombie horde or converted into a spam relay by now...

2) there have been updates, mostly to add hr10-250 compatability. if you haven't seen them that just means you haven't been looking in the right places

3) if there's an actual problem feel free to jump in & fix it

[sstrell]

I have security set up. But if it shouldn't be on the Internet, then what is the point? Why have TivoWeb if you can't or shouldn't access your *Tivo* over the *Web*?

If there have been updates for certain boxes besides my own, I wouldn't have picked them up. And I would think that official updates would be at the TivoWebPlus web site. If these updates for hr10-250 compatibility will help, I'll look for them and install them.

I am not a developer. I am simply a user who enjoys hacking his box and accessing it over the web. My programming skills are non-existent. Hardware is my gig. I didn't mean to imply that people should fix problems simply because I say I have them. I meant that I'm sure others have had similar problems, so I would think there would be work somewhere on fixing them. If not, I'll live.

Because you can get your TiVo with a Web browser?

But the problem is you haven't described your problems. Again, you essentially just said "It crashes. Why hasn't anyone fixed it?" Not exactly prime troubleshooting info...

Demanding one at that.

I would bet that thousands of people have TiVoWeb and TiVoWebPlu but very few have it set up over the net. There are lots of good reasons to set up TiVoWeb without net access:
Ability to delete multiple shows.
Change the resolution (for SA TiVos)
Better show search.
Ability to select shows to stream to your PC.
Control your TiVo from anywhere on your LAN.
Ability to quickly see which episodes of a series you have on the TiVo.
And there are many more.

As someone else mentioned the Web means web browser rather than the internet.

bugs tend to get fixed as features are added

ask whoever maintains the "official" site about the lack of updates

if the problem is repeatable on a 2 node home network ( tivo <-> pc ) and you can post logs go right ahead

this is a development forum, don't be suprised when cruft like "why isn't there an update" or "it doesn't work" gets moved or deleted


feel free to start (yet another) support thread about problems using tivoweb over the net. maybe you'll get lucky & some isp guru will walk you through advanced router config

My TWP seems to be displaying times one hour (later) off from reality.
I have the "1.0 final" installed on my Toshiba/combo.
I have poked around in the file httpd-tt.tcl a bit and it looks to me that the problem is that for version 5 (which is what I have), the variable daylightsavings gets set to "", which eventually causes the one hour shift.
So I did the following snippet (down around line 685), setting daylightsavings to what I'm guessing is the appropriate object (apparently the name changed in v5?):

   if { $::version >=5 } {
#     set daylightsavings ""
       set daylightsavings [dbobj $lconfig get UseDaylightSavings ]
   } else {
       set daylightsavings [dbobj $lconfig get DaylightSavingsPolicy]
   }

Anyway, this works for me -- but then we don't do daylightsavings here.

Has anyone been able to import a logo into a sa s2 unit using twp 1.0?

Taking logos already on the unit and putting them on channels works great.

Import fails after I specify the logo file to import with a page not found

This happens on 2 SAS2 units and from logo files that import just fine into a SAS1 unit.

So, anyone gotten logos imported into an S2 sa unit?

I've been asking for 3 weeks,no luck from anywhere!!!

The TW+ installer and my Startup Editior module don't play nicely.

See http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...33#post2174333

Don't know which is at fault. I guess I could add a trailing blank line to the rc.sysinit.author which Startup Editor installs, or the TW+ installer could add a return before its entry. Either way!
