TivoWebPlus 2.1 Testing and Development

[Nick at da Mill]

This may not be computationally feasible, but would it be possible to tag (color code) a program in the higuide that has either: a) been already recorded, or b) is currently scheduled to be recorded in another time slot (and possibly on another channel)?

Running 9.3.2b on an SA Series 2, the season pass module crashes if a pass exists that was created with the Tivo web app. It seems that such passes have a new type number in MFS (11).

A quick fix is to change the line in proc getSpDetail (in the file ui_season_pass.itcl) :
if { $type == 1 } to
if { $type == 1 || $type == 11 }

Works for me, but I didn't do much digging either.

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see what transpires!

I posted this on TCF but this is probably be a better place.

I've got a prom-modded S3 with KidZone for the 2 dozen or so kids shows we record. I can use the Folderize function with TivoWebPlus to move individual kids shows into a folder called "Kids Shows." That way, the Now Playing List shows the adult shows plus a single folder called "Kids Shows." That makes it much easier for my wife and I to find the shows we want to watch. But when you enter KidZone, you see the kids shows divided into the appropriate show folders (Arthur folder, Backyardigans folder, etc.). That works pretty well.

The problem is that the Folderize function with TivoWebPlus only works on individual shows. As soon as another kid show is recorded, that show's folder reappears in the Now Playing List. I basically have to go in each day and folderize the kids shows recorded during that day.

Is there any way to invoke the Folderize function or a similar function from the command line? I'd like to run a cron job that invokes the Folderize function or a similar function to move the kids shows at regular intervals into the "Kids Shows" folder.

I know about the folders.tcl program, but that doesn't really help here. That program actually renames the folders. If I renamed all the kids show folders to "Kids Shows," then KidZone wouldn't list the shows in their individual folders. You'd just see a single folder called Kids Shows with about 300 cartoons listed without any division of the different shows.

Any help or other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I wrote the folderize module, but didn't know it kept subfolders in recent versions of the tivo SW... very nice.

It would certainly be possible to have it run periodically... I've done a cron-type job in TWP2 for automatically marking 3-thumbs-up suggestions as a kept show (poor mans SP).

If you don't use suggestions, using the 3-thumbs-up technique and combining the 2 routines may be an easy fix.

I've installed TWP 2.1 on my 11.0h-version TiVoHD. When it comes up, one of the console messages says that port 80 is already in use so it tries and succeeds to set the port to 8080. When I do a striaght connect to my TiVo's IP address I get an official TiVo "Welcome, you're networked now" page. Connecting to port 8080 will bring up TWP.

So, how do I kill the useless splash page being served at port 80 and get TWP to start itself there instead?

This is an enhanced version of webremote that will read your available channels and give you a drop-down to choose which one to switch to. It works much better than trying to key in a channel number one digit at a time (which frequently times out before you get the whole number in). I've tested it on my SA series 2, and it should work fine on any unit with sendkey/sendkeyplus installed in /devbin.

Thanks for the update, djl. I'll give it a try. Here's a replacement for keytrap2.js which adds the following keyboard commands to Web Remote (note the change of Replay from Backspace to Ctrl):

insert - tivo
delete - live tv
home - guide
end - info/display
pgup/down - chanup/down

numpad8 - up
numpad4 - left
numpad6 - right
numpad2 - down
numpad5 - select

ctrl - replay

0-9 - number keys

Backup then replace your existing file:

/TivoWebPlus/scripts/keytrap2.js

This works for me on a Windows system running TWP and Web Remote in Firefox. I haven't tested on anything else, so make sure you back up your original file first.
