WHAT DO I DO IF I FIND A BUG?

Check the FAQ, which can be found here: http://tivowebplus.sourceforge.net/faq.html

Try a "Full Reload" from TivoWeb's "Restart" menu item.

If you still get the error, "Quit" TivoWeb (again, using the "Restart" menu item in TivoWeb), then start it again.

If the error still occurs, try restarting the TiVo (using the TiVo's Restart command found in the Settings menu, or the equivalent shell command, restart).

If you still get the same problem, try searching for the error you are receiving in this thread or in the DealDatabase forum as a whole.

If you find that the problem has not been previously addressed, do the following:

HOW DO I SUBMIT A BUG REPORT?

If you happen to discover a bug or have a problem with TivoWebPlus, there are certain things that we need to know in order to properly diagnose your problem. So, when reporting a bug or a problem, please provide the following information:

-- TiVo model number (i.e. HDVR2, SAT-T60)
-- TiVo software version (i.e. 2.5.5, 3.1.1b, 4.0)
-- TiVoWebPlus version
-- method used to hack the TiVo
-- contents of /var/log/tivoweb.log (if it contains any error messages)
-- detailed description of the problem (error messages are helpful)
-- steps we should take to duplicate your problem (i.e. which screen you're on and what button you're clicking)
-- did you test with any other versions or was this working on a previous version? if so, which version?

Failure to provide the above information will most likely result in your problem not being fixed.

wget http://127.0.0.1/quit


the following should restart tivoweb if it is running

wget http://127.0.0.1/restart/0

I am running 4.0.1b and tivowebplus v1.0. I downloaded an updated webremote file and the sendkey file from musclenerd. Thanks all for those.

My first problem is when I click on Live tv it does not switch tuners, it brings up the guide? Is this a known problem? Can I hook up the serial and see anything? If so I can pull it out of the entertainment center and plug it in or whatever you need.

second, if I hit the Directv button, go to now showing, as I scroll down the now showing list it will jump right back to live tv. i cant get to and play my recorded shows with webremote.

Not a "problem", just undesired operation? Thanks

HDVR2
4.0.1b with 4.0.1a kernel
used killhdinitrd
have HMO spatch 4all and all works mrv, etc..

[DocTauri]

4.0.1b and TivoWeb Plus 1.0, any way to get the Now Playing (under User Interface) to show the listings? It doesn't on all 4 of my boxes, I'm assuming because it doesn't know how to handle the folders?

Thanks,
Doc

this is my setup:

rca dvr39
4.0.1b
tivoweb 1.0
hacked with killhdinitrd
nothing to report from log file

I am trying to access my "tivowebplus" from outside of my home network (i. e. the web). I made adjustments in my tivoweb.cfg file such as....port, name, and password changes. Nothing seems to allow access. I noticed after making these changes, that i was no longer allowed access to tivowebplus at all, not even from my home network. I had to change the .cfg file back to original and reboot before i was able to access tivowebplus again. I tried changing the theme in the .cfg file and had the same results. Basically, any changes i make to the .cfg file result in a loss of access to tivowebplus. I am most interested in remote access, and any help would be great.

Not that this fixes your problem, but I use Remote Desktop and connect to my XP pro machine from outside the home network. Now that I have my desktop remotely, I can telnet, ftp, tivoweb, etc as if I am sitting at the machine.

Of course it must be left on and your IP known, preferably static. Just a thought.

Also on my problems, If I go to Music and photos, as soon as it opens, it will hop back to Live tv. Odd. Same as Now showing, the list comes up sometimes but will kick out to Live TV.

Thanks Raven, thats one idea i suppose, but i wanted to stay away from the "goto My PC" type apps. I know there is a way to access TivoWebPlus from the net, cause i see the posts about people doing it. Its just if i make corrections in my .cfg file, i cant get TivoWeb to open at all, anywhere. What would be the execute string to log in remotely? xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:yyyy, where the x's are your actual IP (not the one generated from the router) and the y's are the port numbers, right? I started off with forwarding port 80 in my router settings and then created a "name/password" in the .cfg file. changing the "name/password" caused TivoWeb to not work at all, so i changed them back to original (blank) and it worked again. I still have no access however, with port 80 forwarded and no "name/password" in the .cfg file. I only have access from within my LAN.

[SR712]

Port 80 is probably being blocked by your ISP. So the request is never making it to the tivo. You will need to move the tivo IP to something higher, like 8080, and then forward that port on your router to the tivo's internal addy. Your url format is correct. So you would do something like this (you pick the port):

Change tivoweb.cfg to use port 8080. Set user/password.
Restart tivoweb or reboot.
Forward port 8080 on your router to tivo's internal ip.
Use the following, where 123.456.78.90 is your internet address:
http://123.456.78.90:8080

There are major security risks here, please read the threads regarding this. I keep this port forwarding turned off in the router until I need it from the outside. Then I just log into the router's admin page from outside, and turn it temporarily on for the duration I need it.

okay, i got it going. I was able to connect via the web. I was however, unable to view my recordings. Media player would pop up, but it would time out. I guess it wasnt connecting quickly enough.

Did you use the 8080 port forwarding info from SR712, or the ssl reverse proxy linked by HUGE above?
