xPlusz remote control command processor

[superzap]

• New in version 3.10:
• Support for TiVo software version 3.1.0 on a limited basis. When used with TiVo s/w 3.1.0, the addchans function will not get the guide data for added channels. A resolution is pending for this problem.
• New, simpler and faster method for running commands. See the README
• Batch save no longer requires a tivoapp mod when used with TiVo s/w 3.1.0
• MfsStream support
• Freepages performance option

See the README file for more info. Upgrade from v2.18 is supported or a complete install from the attached zip file. Be aware that with a full install you will lose the current xPlusz settings.

Use this version of setup if you're going to use the HD in PC install method [updated 6-17-03] ===> http://dealdatabase.com/forum/attach...&postid=104039

SZ,

I have just recently joined the xPlusz craze (used the 2.5.2 upgrade). One thing I have searched on the forums is, "freepages" and I have yet to figure out what exactly that is... Can you tell me what activating "freepages" would do for me?

Thanks so much and like the others say, "You ROCK!!"

[superzap]

The freepages option benefits mostly those who use tivoweb. It runs the equivalent of this command at boot-up:
echo "128 192 256" > /proc/sys/vm/freepages

You can activate it with the #41,1 xPlusz command.

I nistalled Xtream upgrade 2.5.2 and all the xplusz commands work great. Except for CallerID. I execute #0 to enable on screen messages, then #30,1 to enable callerID, then #58,1 to select the init string. All give me a succeded responce. The phone cable that I'm using I have connected it to a caller ID phone and when the phone rings it displays the callerid info. But when I call from my cell phone and the line is plugged in to the TIVO nothing shows up.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. SuperZap Thank you for the GREAT Upgrade package and all of your support to all of up new BEES

Try this
On your DTiVo, turn 'Phone available detection on': TiVo Central -> Messages & Setup -> Receiver & Phone Setup -> Phone Connection -> Change Dialing Options -> Set 'Phone Avail.' Detection: On.

Also elseed reportedly doesn't work on all DTiVos. I'm attaching the readme for your reference.

[TTac]

Thanks I should have said that My TIVO was a DSR6000 and I have Phone available detect "ON"

I did read the compatability and all the rest of the read me and I also did a search for other people that may have had trouble before posting anything.

Thanks

I think in xPlusz 3.10 is SC version 0.4, version 0.5 here: http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/sh...=&postid=76427

Such picky people, cheeeez

Ok, here is the SWVERSION independant version. Just rename it to sc.tcl and run it as usual. It should run on any 2.x and 3.1 box.

[superzap]

No you're wrong. xPlusz v3.10 contains the equivalent of latest version of sc.tcl, the tivo sw os independent version. It's named SCsz.tcl in xPlusz and has been slightly modified for xPlusz to pass back an exit code. The comments have v0.4 and that's because I made the xPlusz v3.10 SCsz.tcl tivo sw os independent version before PGM released his. Both do the same thing.

Hi, I installed txtreme 3.1 update over my extreme 2.5 and now my noppv does not work. Also every time i do a test call i get failed result but when i do make daily call it works fine. But it never says executing xplus either just says failed and then completed. Any idea what i need to do to fix this problem? I have reinstalled xpluz 2X and that makes no differnce.

Thanks a lot

[superzap]

Read the xPlusz README file. You don't make a test call anymore with xPlusz v3.10, all you do is enter the command in the call waiting prefix and press select once.

For noppv, activate it with #23,1 and use #3 command to run as a one-shot or recycled. See this ==> http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showth...8157#post78157

That's what happen when I don't check the code and only look at the comments. Sorry.

One question:
I checked the code and I want the logs to work, so I removed the # in rc.sysinit (Kraven upgrade) and renamed logsNullsz.tcl, and rebooted and seems to work. Does this break anything else?

Thanks for a great tool.

[superzap]

The NOPHONE option runs logsNull. If you run another version of logsNull it is redundant and you will null out the messages log which the xPlusz version of logsNull does not do. So you will not be able to see display output of xPlusz commands in the messages log as explained in the README.

Thanks superzap, I think I didn't make myself clear. I want to run NOPHONE option but not run logsNullsz, so I can see what is happening with svclog and other things. So what I did? I renamed logsNullsz.tcl from /hack/bin/xPlusz, and because I don't have any other script that deletes the logs, I rebooted and all the logs are growing as I want them to be.

I don't see in the readme an option to run NOPHONE without logsNull.

How bad will be to change the code to turn off/on the ftp service without a reboot?

[superzap]

You can just turn off NOPHONE if you want to stop logsNull temporarily. You have 31 days. And if you're running the v3.1 os all you get after 31 days is a daily nag since the access card controls the pvr function. You don't want to run without logsNull for any long period since the logs will just grow and grow.

[bato]

Thanks, I'll do that.

One minor thing, I upgraded from 2.18 to 3.10 but the file 'xPchelpsz.dat' didn't update, so if I execute xp "#1,42" for example it say *** #42 command not found ***
