DailyMail: a daily e-mailed status report from your TiVo

[gerti]

dailymail_jazz 0.38.8.p1 took care of the timezone problem for me. I set the manualtzoffset back to blank and run dailymail_jazz, all times are correct. Thanks Chris!!!

Now I guess my only nitpick would be the 1000px wide output, which is a bit wide for my mail window.

That width is updateable in the config file - (3.1.15) Width Of Program Bar?

That width is updateable in the config file - (3.1.15) Width Of Program Bar?

(Note: The current cfg file uses 3.1.15 twice (Width Of Program Bar/What defines used space))

I must not be getting this. The width of the program bar in percent. It is set to 100, which I figured would use 100% of the width of the window, in standard html manner. Yet the output contains things like:

table width="1000" (second table in the output), as well as several 'width: 750px;' and a 'width: 850px;' in the styles. No '100%' anywhere in the html output...

The HTML output of the email is generated by the module, as is the stylesheet!

The email uses a maximum width as standard - i.e. 100%. This is a fixed width (usually about 1000px) and one that is deemed the best width to display the email information appropriately. However, you may reduce the width from the standard (i.e. 100%) to a smaller amount (prehaps 75%) if you are using a lower resolution screen or unforgiving email client. This will reduce the overall width of the email and the HTML tables within. Various email clients don't seem to react well to using a 100% width definition in the actual HTML, so a fixed width was used intead for stability.

So, if you find the "3.1.15 - Width Of Program Bar" variable and reduce its value to 75 from 100, you should see difference in the width of the generated email,

I will fix the duplication of variable id's in a later release.

hope this helps,

cheers

I have an HDTivo running version 3.1.5f, normal hacks. Running the latest dailymail beta 38.8.p1. My problem is that in the section that is supposed to display what hacks are scheduled to run, I get the following error:

Error When Generating Status List - See Log - syntax error in _expression "newh + 24"

I searched but did not find anyone else having this problem with CRON - although there are many other CRON issues noted in the thread. I've attached the html file, the log file, the cfg file, and my cron file. Any help will be appreciated.

Well done, you have found a previously undetected bug! I will sort this out in the next minor release in the next few days! Hopefully you can hold on until then!

This may be the same thing... I installed the new beta with the patch. I am US CDT, so my gmt offset should be -5. I have always run with setmanualoffset="". I used to get:

The following hack applications are scheduled to run on your TiVo:

* MovieSort (3:30AM daily)
* TrackerUpdate (4:AM every days)
* Rsync (4:15AM daily)
* Rsync (4:25AM daily)
* DailyMail (5:AM daily)


With the new beta I and setmanualoffset="" I get:


The following hack applications are scheduled to run on your TiVo:

* MovieSort (-2:30AM daily)
* TrackerUpdate (-1:0AM daily)
* Rsync (-1:15AM daily)
* Rsync (-1:25AM daily)
* DailyMail (0:0AM daily)


I have experimented with different values for setmanualoffset such as "-5", "-4", "-3", -2", etc, but I can't get it to produce the right times.....

More info: If I set the setmanualoffset to -5 it acts the same as if set it to "" so its actually computing the irght offset and the problem must be downstream of that....

It is kind of defeating me this one! I will have another crack at it tomorrow and over the weekend. I wll probably need you to run some more test modules though!

Softail95,

OK - had another think about this tivoweb related problem!

I have edited two modules:

(1) dailymail_jazz shell script - please replace the existing file in /var/hack/dailymail directory and perform a chmod 755 on it.
(2) managedailymail.itcl tivoweb module - please replace the existing file in the /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules directory, perform a chmod 755 on it, and restart tivoweb to register the module.

Then go into tivoweb and try and send a dailymail from the interface.

Let me know what happens,

cheers

Now it's not even running the script. Some syntax error in the tcl is my guess, but as I looked through it nothing jumped out at me. I've attached the logfile.

[vertigo235]

Is there a maximum limit I should use for TIVOSH_POOLSIZE?

I'm still getting reboots because mine isn't big enough...

I guess I could move my hours down from 120 though.

[vertigo235]

Does embedding the images take up a bunch more memory?

Softail95,

ho ho - now I know for an absolute fact that you are not running the new module here because the new module I provided last night does not even have that line of code in it. I have triple and quadruple checked the code, but the line of code:

exec $preshell $command > $postcommand 2>&1

has been removed and replaced with something that looks much different. Feel free to examine it yourself! I am 100% certain that there is a flaw in your FTP process or you are not running what you think you are running! You need to check this out,

Chris,

It's working now. I'm so sorry to have caused you so much work. You are right, of course. I examined the tivoweb modules directory and found a senddailymail.itcl, which says it is designed to work with dailymail_jazz.tcl v.0.22 and a viewdailymail.itcl which says it is designed to work with dailymail_jazz.tcl v.0.24. I did not see these in the modules you shipped with 3.8, so I ftped them off and deleted them. I did a full reload and the tivoweb dailymail generation worked great after that.

-18000 seconds is GMT - 5 hrs. This obviously includes any saylight savings effects, which it looks like is an hour. This looks good I think!

All,

I think I have fixed the CRON and time offset problems now. I have also attempted to address the issue of performance and memory usage. The only module changed so far is the dailymail_jazz.tcl module - please install it in /var/hack/dailymail and chmod 755 it before using.

The module is v0.38.8 Patch 3, but should work with later v0.38.7 versions.

Please let me know if it does the job!

That would be awesome, I was having trouble getting it to work with the shell script last night. So I just set it for 92 hours, and crossed my fingers.

The Dailymail executed great from cron this morning and I received an email from both TiVo's, so it seems to work fine from cron, and that's all that really matters.

Fantastic news on the Patch 3 front. Please continue to keep me updated on any problems over the next few days. I have eliminated all "global" variables from the script, a big job, so I would be surprised if there are not one of twominor transposition bugs in there. In terms of "speed", on my TiVo the performance has increased by approximately 40%. I have also been more dudicious about clearing down variables and have done some tidying up of code. Please be patient if we have the odd bug or two.

On an alternate note, I would like 3 volunteers (existing users of v0.38.7 or above) who are interested in the "to do" list as part of the dailymail, who would be willing to do some testing over the next few days for me. If you are interested, please volunteer on this thread only (not PM) and I will then contact you via PM to send you files. Only 3 volunteers please, so first come first serve - although I would like at least one version 3 or above user in that group - please please tell me your version number!

Thanks for your assistance in this matter,

Excellent: Softail95, Fozzie & cashew1970 are my three volunteers then. I will PM you the code ASAP. You will have to replace the following files:

- dailymail_jazz
- dailymail_jazz.tcl
- dailymail.cfg
- managedailymail.itcl
- handlemultievents.itcl

as a minimum. You will need to reconfigure your config file based on the new one - sorry - but things, including overall numbering have changed.

Do all the usual, chmodding and restaring etc.

Please let me know how it goes, and I am interested both in bugs/errors and in any additional functionality you would like to see to make it the bee's knees!

Looks good. New "now showing" section looks very good. Everything else seems to working as well as in patch 3.8.3... Is there anything specific that you want me to test, or any doc you want me to send you?

One other thing that has been nagging me... When I click on any thumbs to update them, I get a 404 screen from TW+. I may be missing a module. This problem happened in patch 3.8.3, too...

One other thing that has been nagging me... When I click on any thumbs to update them, I get a 404 screen from TW+. I may be missing a module. This problem happened in patch 8, too...

Cannot see why you would be getting this error. Prehaps it is to do with the dynamic ip stuff. Try setting the (2.3.4.1) External IP Setting Required variable to false (i.e. set externalipsetting false), and see if this makes any difference. Do the other links work OK to your tivoweb work OK? Are you sure that you have the handlemultievents.itcl module in place in your tivoweb-tcl/modules directory? Maybe send me your generated HTML document for me to take a look at!

In terms of testing, just let it run for the next few days and make sure it is working ok. Also, if there is any functionality missing that you would quite fancy in this area then let me know,

Does embedding the images take up a bunch more memory?

Yes - avoid image embedding if you are struggling with tivo reboots and core memory dumps,

Chris....

On the beta... there seems to be an issue with the multi delete from the Now Showing...

The list comes up with TivoWeb.... but message that gele faile failed.... Not sure if this is yours or not....

One other thing that would be nice, is to change the colour of each of the listings so that they are defined when scrolling (I.e use the blue/grey for the To Do.... and a Light purple for the Now Showing)

Cheers for all the hard work

Cashew,

can you make sure you copied the new handlemultievents.itcl file into your /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules directory, chmod 755'ed it and then did a restart/reload of tivoweb prior to testing this functionality. The old module would have failed, but the new one in the zip you downloaded should work ok,

let me know,

I keep externalipsetting=false. No difference in thumb update operation either way. Other links work ok. For example I can delete a scheduled recording from todo with no problem. I have attached a zip of the latest html.

Should there be a thumbs.itcl in TW+ modules directory, or is that routine part of another module? I have no thumbs.itcl....

Now I know why, the thumbs update module is not available for TW+. It capitalizes on a module provided by LJ, and it does not work on TW+ - you will have to use standard TW if you want that functionality, and then download LJ's updated modules,

apologies - the dailymail module should not provide the link for TW+ users, including the multi-thumb update functionality.

Did you set the (2.1.1) variable - set tivowebplususer false

Mine is a Series 1. Do you mean 'not showing thumb updates if tw+user=true' only works on series 1? I'm confused (again).

[Fozzie]

Works great, first time.

What is external logging?

[Softail95]

From back in March:

Chris just PMed me about this one - it's definitely a version 2+ issue. From memory (i was quite a few months ago!), FalconTX and I had nailed down a possible fix for it. I've not been following TWP developments too closely (not having a dual tuner TiVo :( )... so I don't know if the TWP guys have got round to coding a new S2+ version... I'll have a dig through old PMs to find out what the fix was...


LJ,

Any luck running the thumbs utility under TW+ for a series 1 running 3.0?

[Fozzie]

Hmm, everything was working that I had tried ;)

I've just tried a multi-delete; my web browser goes to correct_tivo_address/handle_multi_events/ but just stays on a blank page?

From back in March:

LJ,

Any luck running the thumbs utility under TW+ for a series 1 running 3.0?

I took a look at LJ's site. There does not seem to have been any work done on thumbs update for TW+, or for any tivos with 2+ software! So the thumbs update will not work for any tivos meeting this criteria.

The strange thing is that you should still be getting the first screen appearing when you click on the button. It works like a dream on mine, so I struggling to figure what the problem is. The only difference between the other links and the multi-functions is that it uses a form instead of a straight link! Any ideas?

cheers

Take a look at this old chain of posts - any of it relevant!

http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?p=2731309&highlight=handle_multi_events#post2731309Very similar actually! I use Orenosp and two of the DynDNS services. I have a 'normal' address e.g http://tivo.home.com 'web-hopped' to my secure address e.g https://tivo.another.com:12345 which in turn is translated to my STB's external IP address.

Up until now, I have always used the http address in Dailymail's setup (I'm not sure that I've actually tried to use multi-events before) and everything else has worked fine.

I can now get to the multi-event page fine, by using the https address in the dailymail config and multi-thumbs updates seem to be working fine (I don't know why it doesn't work with the webhop'd http address though). However, multi-delete isn't. I get the correct page in Tivoweb asking if I want to delete the showings but when I select yes, I get 'Delete Failed'. I've tried a number of different recordings but they're all the same.

(What does the external logging option in the config file enable?)

[vertigo235]

I have almost the exact same setup and to no surprise it does the same thing.

However, all you have to do is hit refresh on the blank page and everything then comes up.

I'm going to try putting the actual url in and see if it fixes it like you said. My webhop is only for convienience anyhow when I'm typing the url in manually.

Something is wrong here. For deleting from the Now Showing list, it should navigate to http://tivo/deletens/6/ on that second stage.

I am sending you guys a PM with the new file location in it!

Updates include a sort capability on the Now Showing list, and alternating colours on the tables. I will not be doing different colour schemes for each table, as this is a royal pain (alternating colours was painful enough) and it increases the size of the email quite a lot too.

Files that have changes are the dailymail_jazz.tcl and the dailymail.cfg files. Two variables added in the dailymail.cfg file:


## (3.1.21) Multi-Colour Rows In Tables
## If you want alternately coloured rows in the main tables in the email then set
## the following variable to true, else set to false.


## (3.9.2) Sorting of Now Showing List
## If you want the now showing list sorted by the default then please leave the following
## variable blank. Otherwise, you may sort by title, record start time, expiry time or call sign
## (channel). If not set to blank, please set this variable to on of the following
## allowed values - TITLE, RECTIME, EXPTIME or CALLSIGN.

Right guys, the new testing release is out - I have PMed you info on it.

Changes to dailymail_jazz.tcl file:

- Added sort ascend / descend capability
- Added Premiere and Air Date Information To Now Showing List

One parameter added to the config file:

#### (3.9.2.1) Sorting Order for Now Showing List
#### If you are using the sorting function you can sort ascending (increasing - smallest first)
#### or descending (decreasing - largest first). Please choose ASC or DESC for the following
#### variable.
set sortnowshowingascdesc "ASC"

Enjoy, and let me know how it goes.

I think we are almost ready for a formal release in the next day or so!

yes I see that now, I wonder why mine doesn't do that

[Fozzie]

I'm getting a blank now showing section. Settings are:

set nowshowingrepeatfreq 15
set sortnowshowing ""
set sortnowshowingascdesc "ASC"

[Fozzie]

Here's the appropriate section of the level 3 log.

The "22:49:36-Items Found >>0<<" looks suspicious.

[Softail95]

I'm getting a blank now showing section. Settings are:

set nowshowingrepeatfreq 15
set sortnowshowing ""
set sortnowshowingascdesc "ASC"



Works fine for me. Now Showing shows newest to oldest with:

set nowshowingrepeatfreq 15
set sortnowshowing "RECTIME"
set sortnowshowingascdesc "DESC"

Maybe you are getting blanks because of your null sortnowshowing?

[Fozzie]

Shouldn't be - it worked in the previous version (and it's what the readme says to do) ;)

[tivo-onion]

Here's the appropriate section of the level 3 log.

Trying to catch up on the testing for you....

Just installed the latest Full version..... and then updated the tcl that you updated thismorning....

On both versions... I get a page cannot be found error on the Multidelete from Noww showing...

I did not put in the version that you posed for errors.... would you still like me to do this????


Just restarting the box to see if that helps.... because reloading TW did not

No, don't bother with the error oriented script.

We seem to have fixed the problem for everyone else, so I am struggling now! It could be a symptom of your web browser? Have you tried a different one?

Also, did you investigate this web hop thing? I would suggest turning off the dynamic-ip setting, and manually defining your TiVo url in the config file, including any "https://" prefix if appropriate.

Let me know how it goes,

Everything is working perfectly here.....

I was thinking about an option to limit the "Now Showing" section to a configurable number of hours or days prior to the run date.... I have some things on the Tivo that have been there for years--I am more interested in what is on Now Showing from the last few weeks..... Just a thought....

Great work.

[Fozzie]

Yep, everything working fine here too. :)

I agree with Softail95 - it would be good if you could configure how many days back the Now Showing section should go.

[vertigo235]

I'm very interested in the now playing section, can't wait to try it out.

[mqarkcambie]

Chris,

I'm using the public beta v0.38.

I've noticed an issue in the reporting of my cron schedule

This is my actual crontab entry:

# m h dom mon dow command
30 08 * * 0-6 /tvbin/tivosh /var/hack/dailymail_jazz.tcl > /var/log/dailymail 2>&1

This is what dailymail Jazz reports as my cron setup:

The following hack applications are currently running on your TiVo:
TiVo Telnet
TiVo FTP
TivoWeb
cron Scheduler

The following hack applications are scheduled to run on your TiVo:
DailyMail (09:30 daily)

Any ideas for the 1 hour offset?

As far as I can see there is no real reason for this to happen, my manualtzoffset = "" as I am just a plain old UK user.

[Fozzie]

Dailymail is correct. Tivo (and hence Cron) always work in GMT; Dailymail reports in local time. 0830 GMT is 0930 BST/local time, which is when you currently get your Dailymail email. Come Winter, and with your current setup, you will get your email an hour earlier, at 0830.

If you want the email to arrive at the same time, regardless of GMT or BST then you should take a look at ljay's summerzone script, available on his web page: http://www.ljay.org.uk/tivoweb/

[tivo-onion]

Any ideas for the 1 hour offset?

As far as I can see there is no real reason for this to happen, my manualtzoffset = "" as I am just a plain old UK user.

Absolutely, just a result of daylight savings in action,

I've just noticed that the tracker functionality of dailymail appears to be broken in 0.38.6 beta... -- Nothing is highlighted in my dailymail (other than blocklist items), but lots of things are ticked when I use the tracker tivoweb module...

Has anyone else noticed this? Has it been fixed in later versions?

I'll probably upgrade to 0.38.8 beta tonight and have a play with it... see if that fixes it. Just wondering if it had been reported... I can't see anything about it in the thread...

Cheers,
Ash.

[andyjenkins]

Chris,
Any chance you can point me in some instructions in installing DailyMail from scratch ?

Looking at your site I see 0.38.8 available, but this says
a) replace files ... implying that a previous install needs to exist, correct ? So I should start with .37 ?
b) mentions the image server / webserver. I thought I saw mention of imbedding images in some thread or other ... but I dont see instructions on how to do this.

Any pointers ?

Cheers,
Andy

[vertigo235]

Maybe you should visit the website and download the versino posted there?

http://www.deepinthejungle.com/Tivo/Tivoindex.htm

Essentially you palce the file sin their respective directories, chmod +x dailymail_jazz.*, and go through all the questions in the .cfg file.

[ash_bluewomble]

I definitely seem to be having problems with the tracker functionality in dailymail...

When I run the tracker module from tivoweb (process suggestions), I get:

Sat 3rd Sep 18:00 SKYONE The Simpsons - Smart and Smarter

ticked as watched

but in my dailymail, it is not... I am now running 0.38.8 beta on a UK series 1 tivo.

Any ideas what is going on? Has anyone else noticed any problems with tracker no longer working in dailymail?

Hi Ash..

I have only just installed Tracker (About a week ago) so I do not know what to expect yet! (I guess that things only start working with it after the 30 day rule.

So I am unable to confirm if it is working!!
Sorry

Martin

[tivo-onion]

I definitely seem to be having problems with the tracker functionality in dailymail...

When I run the tracker module from tivoweb (process suggestions), I get:

Sat 3rd Sep 18:00 SKYONE The Simpsons - Smart and Smarter

ticked as watched

but in my dailymail, it is not... I am now running 0.38.8 beta on a UK series 1 tivo.

Have I missed something silly?
Cheers,
Ash

Hmmm!

I think I have found a little bug - if you have global blocklist functionality enabled as well as tracker then it may accidentally stop tracker-blocked programmes from being displayed.

I will update for the next release. In the meanwhile, search for the following code :

} else {
# no match with pattern
set blockthis ""
set globalblock ""
}

and replace with:

} else {
# no match with pattern
# do nothing
}

and see if this sorts it out.

cheers

Chris

Just tried this but a Tracker blocked recording just shows up 'normally' in the email; I presume the multi-delete box should be pre-selected? Should there be an extra icon too, against the recording to indicate that Tracker would block it?

THis I have found it - search for all instances of the "$trackerdir" variable and make sure that they are converted to "$::trackerdir". Looks like a casualty of my performance sweep of the software. This should work - let me know!

Actually - I have found another bug too - a clash of "blocklist" variables between tracker and global block modules. Forget doing it yourself - I will be releasing the new version in the next few days - just as soon as I get this install guide a bit better!

[alanjrobertson]

All,

here is a patched dailymail_jazz.tcl module that includes what I hope will be fixes for both the non-GMT time offset (tzoffset) problems, and any problems people are having with the alert-only option kicking in when it has not been requested. Please could those of you that are affected install and test it for me! It also now hides the left-over variable cataloging, as that is only really required for the development process.

This module should work with the latest 0.38.7 install, but to achieve the full functionality it provides (which mainly include the ability to handle dynamic IP home sites) you will need to install the 0.38.8 version as a baseline which is currently available on my web site (see my signature!) and then install this patched version.

cheers

Chris

Excellent - thanks for that patch Chris - my DailyMail is now (hopefully!) working consistently. I'd had trouble for months with it being a hit-or-miss whether it sent a message or not and I now realise it's because of the 'no alert' issue.

Cheers

Alan

Msan & Tivo-onion -

It's not very graceful as I don't code, but basically dailymail was just adding some wrong stuff up to get the daily call statuses. It appears as if it is just a problem w/ version 4 & greater of the TiVo s/w

[propman07]

I hate to ask, but I'm having some trouble configuring the latest version of Dailymail (38).

I am able to get it to run, but I get an error when it tries to send out the e-mail. I connected to my HR10-250 via telnet to check to see if I could ping my mailserver. I got the following error message:

ping: sendto: Network is unreachable

I also tried to ping google via it's IP address and got the same error.

The error in the log for dailymail is:

16:04:01-FAILURE WHEN CALLING SENDMAIL FOR FIRST RECIPIENT >>couldn't open socket: host is unreachable<<

Thanks in advance for any assistance that people can provide.

[Fozzie]

This doesn't sound like a Dailymail problem; it's a networking one. What IP addresses, subnet masks, default gateways etc have you got set up on Tivo, your PC, router (if you have one), broadband STB etc?

[Ian_m]

Try setting your routers MTU to 1500. My Netgear DG845G's default was 1492 and daily mail failed with with the same error.

Been working since April wiith MTU of 1500, fine.

Yeah, I figured it was a networking problem when I couldn't ping various test IP addresses. I was able to resolve it by adding the default gateway address.

I tried to run dailymail again, but I got some other error messages. I'll set the debug level to 3, and post the log here for troubleshooting.

The MTU thing confused me for ages. I was using a crappy Linksys WAG54G, default MTU 1500 and finally got a refund (after 8 months of very poor operation) and got a DG834G whose default MTU was 1482. Suddenly dailymail was no more. Eventually I enabled logging in Outlook (which worked) to see how it communicated with the mail server and there were references to MTU values in the log, which is what gave me the clue.

I'm attaching the level 3 log output from dailymail. I have confirmed that the Tivo can ping my mailserver, but for some reason, I get an error stating that it can't open a socket for connection.

I am also using the Dailymail module on my other two DTivos (SAT-T60 and a Philips DSR-6000), so I am confident that the address is correct. The version that the two other DTivos are using is v0.35.6.

One last thing...in the log, there is a reference to a record_dailymail_details.cgi program. What is this doing?

Thanks in advance.

This looks like an ISP/mail server issue. Have you tried the procedure earlier in this thread to connect to your mailserver through command line, and send a mail? I just tried and all I get is "220 comcast.net - Maillennium ESMTP/MULTIBOX sccrmhc11 #2" and then it hangs; no prompts for user name or password etc.

That's kind of what I figured. I'll give the HELO command a try, and see what happens. I guess that it's puzzling, since my other two DTivos don't have any trouble working with the same IP address for the mailserver.

Thanks again for the support.

[propman07]

Okay...now I'm really confused. I was able to send e-mail using the Dailymail modules that I have on my other two Tivos without issue.

When I try to manually send the e-mail via telnet, I get the following:

220 comcast.net - Maillennium ESMTP/MULTIBOX sccrmhc13 #3
HELO comcast.net
250 comcast.net
MAIL FROM: <hdtivo@comcast.net>
501 need MAIL FROM:<name@domain>

No matter what I try, I get the same response. I guess that I don't quite understand why I can send the mail via Dailymail, but I can't send it manually.

I also noticed that I have some TX packet errors. Could that be part of the problem (on the HD Tivo box)

Should I remove the line with the append alertstatus "Conflict -" ?

Hi

I don't think this has been covered yet. I am setting up dailymail_jazz and am getting a 550 relay not permitted error.

Any ideas, please?

Okay,

I've changed authreq to true and put put my username and password on the subsequent lines (in base64).

Now when I run dailymail I get "AUTH command used when not advertised". I also tried by telnetting and got the same.

I found a post (by UKtivo) detailng the same problem, the solution there was not to authenticate. Obviously this is not the solution for me because I get the relay not permitted error!

Any ideas?

Thanks

[gerti]

"relay not permitted" comes from the mail server you are using. Basically the mail server sees itself as being responsible for domain abc, and your are emailing to domain xyz. The mail server will not allow that, otherwise anyone could use it to relay spam (the dreaded 'open relays'). Most mail servers will only allow:

1) any mail to their domain (abc)
2) mail to anyone coming from a machine/IP recognized as being 'inside' of their domain/responsibility.

Apparently your Tivo does not qualify for either of these conditions.

[Raisltin Majere]

Right, how do I sort that then? Can I force the server to request authentication?

Thanks

[Fozzie]

What ISP are you using? What is your SMTP server? Are you connected to this ISP when trying to send?

[Raisltin Majere]

I'm with talktalk. SMTP.talktalk.net (62.24.199.11). And yes, I am connected via them when trying to send the email.

You will have to give us a bit more info than that! A log file at level three logging would be good!

Sorry, should not type when I am not yet coffied... :D I know better than this, assume I am not stupid, just damaged.

I also have this error which shows in my DMJ email

11:01:38-ERROR IN STATUS MODULE >>syntax error in expression "newh + 24"<<

[tivo-onion]

Ok All,

I unfortunately have not had time yet to complete my detailed install instructions for the latest release (damn work!). However, this release contains a lot of bug fixes that people have been asking for, including those issues in the last few posts in this forum. I am therefore going to make this release available without the instructions for those of you that are familiar with how to install this module. If you are not sure - then avoid this for now until I have complete the detailed installation instructions.

You will need to replace the following files:

- dailymail_jazz
- dailymail_jazz.tcl
- dailymail.cfg
- ip-utilities.tcl
- handlemultievents.itcl
- managedailymail.itcl

I suggest you set-up a new dailymail.cfg file using the new template.

This version contains the "now showing" list functionality, as well as many bug fixes.

You can download the zip file from here (http://deepinthejungle.servehttp.com/Tivo/downloads/Dailymail Jazz Install v1.0 26Sep05.zip).

Please let me know if you encounter any problems and I will address them ASAP,

cheers

Chris

Looking good so far Chris; tracker selected items are showing up nicely :)

I think there may be an issue with the thumbs ratings though (which I must admit, have noticed in the past but never got around to reporting it - apologies).

There are lots of '-' against the ratings but when I check in Tivoweb, they do have thumbs ratings; some implied, some explicit etc.

Another example is my next recording "Trust Me I'm A Holiday Rep" (I've attached the level 3 log extract). Dailymail says '+3' thumbs but Tivoweb says '1' thumb, 'implied', confidence '128'.

Edit: Just done a bit more checking and all has become clear. The values are only displayed for explicit thumbs, which makes sense - I must engage brain before posting! I hadn't even noticed the big green thumb icons next to the numbers!

The example case I quoted is actually a manual recording (because it overlapped with something else). Tomorrows showing is displaying the correct, expected thumbs. Would you expect a manual recording to have no thumbs icon and +3 value?

Ta.

[alanjrobertson]

Agree - looking good, Chris! One minor thing - the heading for the table in 'Manage Dailymail' in TivoWeb still says v.0.38 rather than v.1.0 ;-) (and I did double check and it is the new .tcl I've installed and I did do a full restart of Tivoweb :))

Re. thumbs - just to confirm that like Fozzie I'd also noticed a bit of inconsistency re. ratings in the Dailymail and on the Tivo (but hand't got round to mentioning it!).

One other thing - in my Now Playing list there are a number of boxes that are coloured pink rather than light/dark blue - I can't qutie work out what the significance is though. At first I thought it was something to do with expiry but there seem to be plenty of items that are expired/about to expire both in pink and blue!

Cheers

[vertigo235]

has trackerupdate.tcl changed? the rev date is 9/13 in the zip?

[Fozzie]

Changed compared to which version? If you're talking about 0.38.9 patch 3, then it's just the creation date comment changed.

[Fozzie]

Hmm, ref. my thumbs post earlier. I've just noticed another recording that doesn't have a thumbs icon but says +3; Tivoweb says 'No thumbs'.

Multi-delete: I get your new 'test page' "This is a test page! If you can see this page then well done, the first stage of connectivity has been achieved!" If I hit refresh, in the browser, I then get the 'correct' delete page. Is this as planned? :)

[tivo-onion]

Edit: Just done a bit more checking and all has become clear. The values are only displayed for explicit thumbs, which makes sense - I must engage brain before posting! I hadn't even noticed the big green thumb icons next to the numbers!

Absolutely - you mean you never noticed this before? ;-)

The example case I quoted is actually a manual recording (because it overlapped with something else). Tomorrows showing is displaying the correct, expected thumbs. Would you expect a manual recording to have no thumbs icon and +3 value?

Dunno - prehaps the TiVo allocates a +3 thumbs to something you manually record. Never noticed before. There is certainly nothing in the code that would allocate a +3 based on the "manual" recording type.

So are you still having a problem? I have to say that I have been tracking consistency for a number of weeks now as part of my testing process and have not noticed any problems at all, so this is wierd if there is a problem.

Let me know,

cheers

Chris

No - this is not the planned result. There must be someting wierd with your browser setup - there is absolutely no reason why it should show the same page on a refresh since exactly the same information is posted to the server both times. The test page is only shown when no parameters are posted to the tivoweb script. Try having a fiddle with your security settings on this one,

I'll sort this out!

At first I thought it was something to do with expiry but there seem to be plenty of items that are expired/about to expire both in pink and blue!

These are items that will expire in the next few days. There should be some bold text also that says when it expires.

[Fozzie]

Hmm, ref. my thumbs post earlier. I've just noticed another recording that doesn't have a thumbs icon but says +3; Tivoweb says 'No thumbs'.
I forgot to say, this one isn't a manual recording - it's from an SP. Any other ideas?

No - this is not the planned result. There must be someting wierd with your browser setup - there is absolutely no reason why it should show the same page on a refresh since exactly the same information is posted to the server both times. The test page is only shown when no parameters are posted to the tivoweb script.I think this one is to do with my setup; orenosp, DynDNS etc. IIRC, someone else had the same thing happening with the same setup. In fact, it was them that said about hitting refresh to get the correct page. It doesn't occur if Dailymail is configured for 'direct' access to TiVo as opposed to secure remote access.

It's no great drama but perhaps it would be useful if you could change the test page to say something to the effect of "You have probably arrived at this page due to your running some form of secure remote access. Hit refresh on your browser and you should be taken to the correct page"

[Fozzie]

These are items that will expire in the next few days. There should be some bold text also that says when it expires.On mine, everything that is about to expire is pink. However, some expired programmes are pink whilst others blue?!

[tivo-onion]

Make sure you are using the new .cfg file as a template, as there was some incorrect graphics name allocations in the old version which may acound for some of the inconsistency.

Otherwise, it is very difficult to analyse any specific issues without your TiVo in front on me. I will take a look at the code anyway and see if anything obvious sticks out.

It may be worth seeing if any issues on your dailymail are the result of transposition between programmes. i.e. are the thumbs shifted one programme up or down at any point? Knowing this would help.

cheers

Chris

[tivo-onion]

On mine, everything that is about to expire is pink. However, some expired programmes are pink whilst others blue?!

Sounds about right. It indicates those that are within 48 hours of expiring and have expired in the last 24 hours.

cheers

Chris

[Fozzie]

Sounds about right. It indicates those that are within 48 hours of expiring and have expired in the last 24 hours.Understood. I thought it was indicating showings which were just about to expired and ALL showings that had expired; I can see the rationale for limiting it to those just expired in the last day ;)

[Fozzie]

Make sure you are using the new .cfg file as a templateYep, definitely using the new template. (ExamDiffPro comes in handy ;))

It may be worth seeing if any issues on your dailymail are the result of transposition between programmes. i.e. are the thumbs shifted one programme up or down at any point? Knowing this would help.Everything else looks fine; all other thumbs values and icons are correct (less the one manual recording).

I'll have another dig around tonight and see if I can find anything.

[vertigo235]

This new version uses more memory, I can't get it to run on my TiVo without a reboot. Although it is expected since it has an entorely new section.

I guess I need to play with it till I get it right.

[vertigo235]

I finaly was able to get it working, by creeping down my hours from 120 to 72 (hours ahead etc), but now I get this in the "Now Showing" section, with a max days of 8

"Now Showing
The following recordings are currently available on this TiVo. This list only includes those programs recorded in the last 8 days:

Error When Generating Now Showing List - See Log - can't read "xthumbtype": no such variable "

[ash_bluewomble]

Has the ability to change the thumbs disappeared in the latest release? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore... anyone else noticed it?

[alanjrobertson]

Still seemed to work OK for me.

Any ideas? I get the thumbs displayed, but I no longer have the drop down box next to the thumb, or the "update" button at the top... come to think of it, I think his _might_ have been missing from the previos versio (0.38.8 beta) as well...

[Fozzie]

Has the ability to change the thumbs disappeared in the latest release? It doesn't seem to work for me anymore... anyone else noticed it?Works fine here. What problem are you having?

Edit: You beat me to it with your explanation!

[Fozzie]

Chris,

Regarding the preselection of +3 thumbs for some recordings - I just tried to manually change one of the 'working' thumbs settings from '-' to '+1'. In Tivoweb I got not only the programme that I changed but also got the two recordings with +3 and no thumbs images. So this is telling me that Dailymail has not read +3 from TiVo's database but for some reason pre-selected this value in the email. Hope that makes sense. Please see attached.

I was getting this same variable output for xthumbtype. I found that, for some reason, the binaries ls and ps weren't executing in /var/hack/bin so they were moved to /busybox with changes duly noted in the cfg file. This with a reboot got rid of that problem.

I'm still not able to produce a Now Showing list in the Dailyemail. I get about 2/3 of the now showing list processed and then develop an error as noted.

Yes Sir!

Attached.

Memory usage seems to be up with this version, even with the Now Showing section turned off, suggestions off, and the recording history section off, have you made any of the memory tweaks you were planning to make yet? It's much easier for me to cause reboots with this new version :D

Does the level 3 debugging use more memory?

No more memory tweaks that I am aware of - I have done the best I can. Prehaps someone in the know could suggest a bigger pool size? Dunno myself - I am not experiencing any reboots at all! I think the sort function in the now showing module may eat up some extra memory. Also, if you have a lot of problems with reboots then don't use the embedded images function as I have to load the whole email body into memory to search it for specific file names for inclusion into the email. Also try fiddling with the fragmenthtmlemailwrite variable in the cfg file,

cheers

Chris

[vertigo235]

All I know is that I was running everything except the Exipry section at 120 days before, with this version I run ToDo and Conflicts, with Sugestions off and I have to drop down to 72 hours :(

Chris,

As noted this starts about 2/3 down the list. I deleted several of the programs (one at a time) as it caused an error; then it just keeps preceding downward (if you can follow what I mean :rolleyes:

I'm in the States, -5 gmt, series 2 HDVR2 if that helps.

I noted earlier someone having problems with early am programs not showing up in some listing. I set tzoffset in the configure file to 0 to see if it had any effect. It didn't.

The only other time related anomoly I've noticed is at the end of the email.
Since I installed the program and got it working a few versions back, I've always had this sort of daily call information:

The following daily call information is available:
Last successful call: Thu, 01 Jan at 10:20
Next scheduled call: Thu, 01 Jan at 04:36

My fakecall.tcl is called by cron, not DailyMail (if this makes a difference).

Last, but not incidentally, let me compliment you on one hell of a program....and the ability to keep this thing delivering the way it does. It blows my mind every AM when I get my DailyEmails telling me what's going on with my Tivos.

Alan

[tivo-onion]

Works fine here. What problem are you having?

Edit: You beat me to it with your explanation!


The multi-update-thumbs piece is automatically disabled for tivowebplus users and non series 1 users. I believe I am correct that LJ's update thumb functionality does not work for either tivowebplus users or those users with TiVos later than series 1. Am I?

Hmmmm - Wierd - I will try default setting the start time to zero if it comes back as blank - maybe this will help overcome the problem.

Dunno about the call information. This version had some adjustments to allow for later tivo versions as requested earlier in this thread (someone please let me know if this works now) - however I an not that familiar with fakecall. Try calling it from the Dailymail modules and see if it makes a difference? Let me know your success!

The time of the call is correct (unadjusted for our longitude) and we've made a week's progress in the scheduling of the next call :)

Perhaps it'd be helpful to know that a start time does exist in the normal Now Showing screen obtained through the Tivowebplus User Interface on those programs that seem to stall the Now Showing report in the DailyMail.

ChrisLooks good so far Chris, thanks. Nothing with a +3 showing up yet. I'll keep monitoring.

As an aside, I've not had any problems with TiVo rebooting when running Dailymail. (I do often get a reboot if I use the managedailymail module to edit dailymail.cfg - I tend to use Hackman for any editing because that doesn't reboot TiVo).

That's odd... I am using tivowebplus, but I definitely remember the multi-thumbs update working in earlier version of dailymail and I was still using tivowebplus then...

I'm using a series 1 UK tivo.

Cheers,

[tivo-onion]

OK,

here is another mildly updated version that

- adds more debugging to the call time stuff so I can pin down any problems
- finally sorts out this blank start time thingy
- fixes a bug I saw regarding adding back in space and the name of the program
- ripples suggestion preferences through to the now showing list

if you are having problems with the call time stuff, please send me a logging file (using this new module) at level 3 logging so I can take a look at the detail.

Could people please tell me whch version of hackman allows you to edit the config file successfully - my version of hackman (2.2.27) does not seem to provide this functionality.

let me know how it goes,

I have had no comback on the topic of disabling thumb updates for non-series1 and tivowebplus users. Am I correct on this count?

Just for sanity check purposes find:

## MULTI THUMB UPDATE
if {$::tivowebplususer} {
## null
} else {

and change it to:

## MULTI THUMB UPDATE

you should find this code twice in the dailymail_jazz.tcl module.

Now I come to think of it, I think I might have been using Tivowebplus 1.1pre2 (beta) at the time... I think that has thumbs update stuff in it... but I had some problems with 1.1pre2, so I moved back to 1.0... I'll give it a go later on anyways...

By design.

The multi delete functionality has to be seperate, because seperate modules in tivoweb need to be called to delete now showing items and to do items. Therefore the multi-thumb functionality is kept seperate for consistency. I have no plans to change it - sorry,

No need - I can reference his editor directly from my module - makes it quick to access. I attach an updated tivoweb module. Thanks for asking though!

Interestingly - my TiVo still reboots when I try and edit it with hackmans editor also - maybe it is due to the length of the setup file? Dunno - but I am happy to remove the editor from my sphere of responsibility anyway,

Edit 2: The error above occurs after Tivoweb has been started. Once you have opened Hackman and gone into the 'Edit files and preferences' screen once, the error goes away; this only needs to be done after Tivoweb has been (re)started.

#set email variables

This has to be the i.p. for now, not the domain/url. Your TiVo cannot automatically resolve domains like your PC can - so you have to discretely specify the i.p. address. I am working on a solution to this using fake dns for the future.

#set domain myemaildomain.com ;# IS THIS REQUIRED? Can I just put my ISP in here - blueyonder.co.uk - as it's their mail server I am using.

That is exactly what it is intended to be.

#set recipient "" ; #Got this


Fine.

#set sender "tivo@$domain" ;# Dunno about this? Should I check if my ISP Needs this set?


Leave as is.

#set senderName "TiVo" ;# Default will do


Leave as is for now.

As I said, I'm new to this so am a little daunted by all the cofiguration options that are available. I don't know which I need and which I can ignore. For example, I have not yet made my Tivo accessible through the interenet. Is this required for this module to work? (ie 'web server based variables') That's the sort of thing I need to know, if you have the time :)

[cwaring]

One other point. Although my email account requires a username/password, it does not require authentication. How do I edit the .cfg file to reflect this?

[Rob Nespor Bellis]

Um, a username/password *is* authentication.......

Bah! Of course. I was looking at the wrong thing in OE6 :( That's it! No more Tivo hacking for me tonight!

Has anybody gotten dailymail to run on a 7.2 version tivo yet??

[programx]

Hi,

Re-visited the forum for the first time in a while, as I have my Linux box back which puts me in the hacking mood.

This new DailyMail thing looks excellent. I could never get the original one to work, but gave up before I really gave it a decent amount of effort on account of being busy.

However, Tivo-onion, despite following the guide on your web-site, I can't get mine to work!

I egt:

I'm still haveing memory issues with my Series 1 DTiVo, I'm getting reboots with 72 hours set, when my Series 2 DTiVo is funning fine at 120 hours ahead.

I didn't have a problem with .38.8 at 120 hours on either?

Is there hope?

[Softail95]

Make sure you only have the .itcl's that are in the dailymail .zip. If you have an option on the main TW menu to 'send daily mail', it's old--delete the itcl for it. You should be having to 'manage daily mail' and then pick 'send daily mail' in that submenu. I had this problem and it took Chris and me a long time to find. same error messages as yours....

Okay. So, I downloaded v.037b as I think this is the latest stable version and nstalled everything as per instructions. Not 100% certain I've got all setting in the .cfg covered correctly but it looks okay and I don't think this problem is related.

I'm getting this error:

With knowing nothing about this utility, I can only assume this is related to this bit of the readme:

USERS INSTALLING DAILYMAIL ONTO A READ-ONLY FILESYSTEM:

- The HTML file is generated regardless of what htmlfilerequired is
set to. The config item htmlfilerequired only dictates whether the
generated HTML file will be deleted when dailymail exits. Therefore,
create a link for the dailymail_jazz.html file to a writeable
filesystem (such as /var/tmp).

Example:

$> ln -s /var/tmp/dailymail_jazz.html /var/hack/dailymail/dailymail_jazz.html

However, when trying to execute that line, I get the following:

ln: cannot create symbolic link `/var/hack/dailymail/dailymail_jazz.html' to `/var/tmp/dailymail_jazz.html': No such file or directory

Can anyone assist fixing this?

It wouldn't surprise me to learn that it's something really, really simple? :D

Well, I've got the basics working. One or two little niggles, though. I have attached the latest daily email for reference.

SMART: How do I disable this check and are the errors anything to worry about?
TODO: There's obviously a file missing. The Tracker module (that came with DailyMailJazz) is installed but there's no instructions so don't know how to fix this. It mentions Stuart in the .cfg file. I have done a quick Forum search and found too many references to it to plod through them all for a file :)
IMAGES: As far as I can tell, I have images set to display, but embedded rather than served. Where are they?

Oh, and you see under the "Conflicts" heading? Well, there's nothing in the TDL until after 7pm and there never was, as far as I know. Also, I don't have a SP or ARWL for TNG! How can I have a conflict for something I never planned on recording? That's just silly :)

Just the usual "programme details" page with 'record' and 'get SP' options at the bottom so it is obvously NOT scheduled or SP'd.

[cwaring]

More non-existant conflicts :(

Conflicts
The following unresolvable conflicts occur in the next 120 hours. TiVo has determined that these programmes that you have selected to be recorded via season-pass or wishlist will not be recorded:

However, NONE of the episodes it mentions are actually due to be recorded. They're all dormant (ie FRO) SPs :confused:

Just the usual "programme details" page with 'record' and 'get SP' options at the bottom so it is obvously NOT scheduled or SP'd.It's the 'details' that should give a clue as to what's happening! Can you post a screen grab?

Sure thing. As today's only conflict has passed, here's one from an email with details 120 hours ahead :)

On the left is the Daily Email, on the right is programme details for the first "Charmed" episode listed; after "Jade's Salon" which, incidently, I have never shown any interest in nor previously recorded.

However there was a Guide Data problem some time ago that listed "Jade's Salon" with the synopsis and actor details for "Charmed" so that might explain that one, but not the others :)

I've just checked on my actual Tivo and a lot of these 'conflicts' are showing up in the "Recording History" too; even the TNG eps which I have never had an SP for. It's all very :confused:ing :D

[Fozzie]

It looks like one of your wishlists picked it up? Have you got details of some of the ones that you think may not have been to do with a guide data error. It would also be handy to know what wishlists & type you have.

One other possible explanation is that these programmes were TiVo Suggestions that have been cancelled by TiVo along the way?

Sounds right, now I think about it. However, I don't have any set up to auto-record. Thinking some more about it, it is possible that I did, at one point, set it to auto-record and then cancelled it which would probably explain this phenomenon.

Never mind. I'll simply remove the listing from my daily mail.

Is there another Module available that will cross-check my SPs with each other and tell me of any actual clashes?

Also, while I'm here... I'm not bothered about the ability to edit the DM config file from within TW; mainly due to the security issues if and when I get round to sorting out net access. Is there a way to remove that function safely without breaking the Module?

Thanks for your continued help.

[cwaring]

Nope. Got that one already. Not what I was wanting. While excellent, that module seems to only check for other shows/titles similar to your SPs.

I was thinking more along the lines of "won't record this ep of this SP as this it clashes with this one".

Hi

I have been running version 0.35.6 for quite a while very successfully.

However since I changed my ISP to Tiscali (from Zen) last week, it has not been able to even generate an email.

I have edited the config file ( I think correctly) with the ip address of the smtp server, and changed the email domain also.

Here is an extract from the log.

And that is where it stops.

Anyone got any ideas?

Is it just me, or is deepinthejungle down? I got tivowebplus working this weekend and am itching to try out the dailymail.

He self-serves, so probably just a cat in the router. Its not unusual. I can email it to you if you want. Which version?

TPM,

I guess I should start with the latest version, if it runs under tivowebplus. I know it may not yet be stable, but it's probably more fun! If you could email it to me, I would be thankful.

Alternatively, if the previous stable version is better for me getting started, I'll take that.

Thanks

You want to PM me your email address? :D

I'm running DailyMail Jazz 0.38.8 but am having a bit of a problem.

I've got it on a cron, to run it at 6:48am every morning. That seems to work fine, I've checked the logs and confirmed that it does in fact run every day.

But, my problem is, I'm not receiving any emails.

I set debug mode to 3 and waited till the next morning to see if I could find anything.

I found this worrying line in the debug output:

06:49:52-EMAIL NOT SENT BECAUSE THERE IS NO ALERT DISCOVERED!Now, I know there is an option in the config file to only send an email if an alert is found:## (3.1.19) Email Required On Alert Only?
## Generally, an email will always be sent if the user has defined that they want an
## email. If you only want an email to be sent if there is an Alert i.e. there is
## something that needs to be addressed then select the following variable to true
## else set to false. Remember that if you set this variable to true, you will only
## receive an email if something is found that needs user attention.
set alertonlyemail falseBut, as you can see, it's set to false.

So, any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks :)

Sounds like the one of ususal problems of either ISP or home PC spam filtering. Try things like another email account, turning off firewalls, AV etc...

I have it all working on demans now, which is great. Awesome email.

I thought I had my cron set-up right to do it, but obviously not. What are the requirements for cron to work?

It is in my crontab as per the documentation.
