The open source Galleon 2.0.1 media server for TiVo is now available (http://galleon.tv).

This version includes the following:

Fix for app sharing (http://galleon.tv/content/view/101/29/) configuration


Your TiVo needs to be running at least version 7.2.1 software.

I just installed 2.0.1 on both my computers. I really like the fact that you added the new menu level. My music photo and more was way to cluttered. One of the computers shows up as galleon and the other shows up as galleon [1]. Is there any way to change the menu name? I would like be able to add the computer name after galleon in the menu.

The other thing I want to mention is the fact that the install always goes great on my xp computer, but on my comp running win 2000 I always get an error when it tries to start the galleon service and I have to reboot the computer to get it to work.

Let me just finish by saying how much both my wife and I like galleon.

Do you have to uninstall the 1.9.2 version or will this just install right over it?

You can change the name in the Galleon configuration GUI File/Properties menu. The value of the name fields is used for the name of the menu.

Love the new features so far! Being able to group all my Galleon apps under a single menu is great, and I love the fact that it recognizes folder organization for ComeBack tranfers!

I also like how it recognizes file naming conventions and then attempts to sort the files based on those names ... but it doesn't always seem to get it right and I can't necessarily figure out why.

For example, I have the following shows in a hierarchy:

The 4400
- Season 1
-- The 4400 1x01 - ''The Return'' Pilot.mpg
-- The 4400 1x02 - ''The New & Improved Carl Morrissey''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x03 - ''Becoming''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x04 - ''Trial by Fire''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x05 - ''White Light''.mpg
So in Galleon I can browse to Galleon - The 4400 - Season 1 but I see this:

''The New & Improved Carl Morrissey''
''The Return'' Pilot
''Becoming''
"Trial by Fire"
"White Light"
So why is the second episode sorting to the top? I see random mis-fires on the sorting like this in some of my other folders as well. Is it just a refresh issue perhaps?

Also, all of the recording dates in the ComeBack app are today's date ... is that supposed to be like that?

After the update (2.0, but it's still doing it in 2.0.1), all of my RSS apps are entitled "Yahoo", when only one of them should be. I've verified in the setup that they have other names there.

Clean install of 2.01 - Added Shoutcast, then added Galleon Menu. Now I see Shoutcast outside of the menu and two instances inside the menu. Haven't tried rebooting PC yet, but I thought I'd post incase I forget this ever happened. :)

Could you try to reboot your TiVo while Galleon is running.

I've found that the TiVo recorder sometimes holds onto old apps even though they have been removed. They seems to then disappear after some time. It sometimes helps to go in and out of the Music, Photos & More menu. You could also restart your TiVo with Galleon running to get everything back in sync.

Leaving it up for an hour didn't help, neither did going in/out or rebooting the TiVo. Once I rebooted the PC everything cleared up, though.

The filename formats you have doesnt exactly match the patterns Galleon currently recognize. If Galleon cannot determine the date of the recording from the filename, then it defaults to the current date.

Wow. Reading this forum is always very helpful. I never even knew you could add folders to the directory to show the folders on the TiVo. Huh. Now you can also send date information, too. Awesome.

What exactly is the correct format to send date recorded information? I would love to add date information to the episode that corresponds to the season and episode number. For instace, if the episode is season two episode five, I would like to have the date be 2/5. I was doing a little experimenting, but can't seem to make it work.

Being a Mac user and how installation for us was a tad more difficult... and that my setup was metting my needs just fine, I've been sitting out of updates for a bit.

But I'd like to update now since we've passed the 2.0 mark.

Will 2.0.1 work on my Mac running 10.3.9?

Are we to the point yet where the other guy's "wrapper" program is being incorporated officially from Leon or is installing on Macs still a bit more difficult and a little bit of a hack?

Sorry I posted this question somewhere else before I saw this post...

My question is this:

I have the strangest problem I'm using the latest galleon build and I have galleon send files directly to my PC, problem is whenever Galleon transfers the files for me Windows Media Player or any other player I've tried tells me my key is incorrect...

I've checked the key in Galleon and my Tivo Desktop countless times and they are a perfect match. I'm scratching my head on this one and I'm asking someone else if they've had similar problems and or if there is a fix available, thanks!

PS: Manual Tivo transfers with Tivo Desktop work fine for me, using Tivo Desktop 2.2 and 7.2.1 on my Tivo.

Exact error I get says:
You are not authorized to play this recording. It was transfered using a different access key than the one in your Windows account.

Same here ... I would like to know what formats Galleon recognizes. I could not find anything about this on the new website.

That does explain why my recordings all show with the same date: I always take out the "recorded on mm/dd/yyyy" part of the filenames, and some of my GoBack files aren't even .tivo files. But I'm still not sure what is controlling the sorting, if it's not the episode number like 01x05, 01x06, etc. Should I be using S01E05 instead?

Here are the filename patterns that Galleon recognizes:
{Lost}{2005-11-16}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
which is interpreted as:
{SeriesTitle}{OriginalAirDate}{EpisodeTitle}{DateRecorded}{C allSign}

Lost - ''Collision'' (Recorded Nov 23, 2005, KGO).TiVo
which is interpreted as:
SeriesTitle [- ''EpisodeTitle''] (DateRecorded, CallSign)

The Twilight Zone - Dust (Recorded Sun Jan 1 2006 05 16AM SCIFI).TiVo
which is interpreted as:
SeriesTitle [- EpisodeTitle] (DateRecorded, CallSign)


The files for GoBack are sorted on either the original air date, recorded date or the file date depending on which is known.

The current Mac support is very generic and should work with any Unix type OS. There has been various issues with supporting the other wrappers so that is not included with Galleon.

I am still having trouble with this awesome feature. I have tried many different varients of this and here is what I have discovered.

I cut and pasted this:
{Lost}{2005-11-16}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
into one of my existing test files (a 1 minute clip) and while browsing the files on my PC, it shows:
The show title as: Lost
Date recorded: 11/16
Episode Title: No title displayed
Date Recorded - Program Detail: Wed 11/16 12:00 am 0 0

But when the file is transferred and on the TiVo, the date recorded changes to today's date and time.

Also changing the first set of dates in the file name like below changes the date recorded information and the second date is ignored. For instance,

{Lost}{2005-01-05}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
The show title as: Lost
Date recorded: 1/05
Episode Title: N/A
Date Recorded - Program Detail: Wed 1/05 12:00 am 0 0

Additionally, all of my .tivo files are listed with today's date as the date recorded even though I have never touched file since it was transferred off of the TiVo. The file format is intact as well as the date recorded information, which most are from last year, but all the .tivo files have today's date. I have rebooted the TiVo, just in case there was some sort of error, but it did not fix it.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

I'm currently investigating a possible bug that might be causing some of the data not to be picked up by TiVo properly.

I have been using G 2.0.1 for several days now. My Observations:

1. I got the "Galleon Folder" one time in Tivo. The rest of the time, I continue to get the individual apps showing in the top level list

2. Although I have Galleon pointed at my Itunes XML file, nothing shows up in the Galleon Itunes folder on TiVo. BTW, I do not let iTunes manage my library, thus my itunes folder is empty. Is this the reason?

I continue to wish for a reliable way to play my music library. :)

I have Season 3 of Star Trek Voyager in my Tivo folder, and with the new Galleon, it recognizes the folder name, but nothing in the folder at all. They are the currect format( I used the videora tivo converter program), because 1.9.2 finds them with no problem, but the new version doesn't.

The PC Publishing port has to be 80. Unfortunately, there is no way to test this on your local network. TiVo handles local network connections differently from remote internet connections.

This is what the files are converted to that Galleon 1.9.2 finds with no problem(its the default on the videora tivo converter):

MPEG-2/720x480/16:9/2Mbps Stereo/192kbps


When I installed Galleon 2.0.1, it finds the Star Trek Voyager folder on my PC alright, but it doesn't find anything in it.

Galleon provides a realtime transfer rate on screen during the transfer. This value usually fluctuates over time. When the transfer is complete it will calculate the average transfer rate in KBps and print that value in the Galleon log. Look for the text "Download rate=". You dont need to enable debug logging to see this information.

I have configured Galleon to automatically download a couple shows that I have a SP for first run. However, TiVo suggestions is recording previous run episodes of the same shows and Galleon is downloading them.

You could try shutting down Galleon and then deleting its database. It will then re-crawl your library and rebuild everything.

I run Galleon on Linux, so when I need to do this, I just delete everything under my /usr/share/galleon/data directory. I'm assuming there's a data directory for a Windows install as well.

Yes, it did the same to me, and it's a little annoying. I just entered "1234" as the PIN to make it shut up, and since I don't really plan on making my Galleon server public I figure it isn't doing any harm.

I upgraded from 1.9.2 to 2.0.1 on Mac OS X.

After the upgrade, I've noticed some strange problems with the Music app. It serves up directories of MP3s properly, but when you play an MP3 it sometimes displays information for a completely different artist/song on the playback screen.

I just deleted the MP3 directory from the Music app configuration and re-added to see if that will fix the problem. Has anyone else seen this?

Yes, it wont do any harm. You have to take several additional steps before sharing will actually work. I'll change the logic so that it isnt always required.

I think I've found a bug ... I can reliably reproduce it and make my entire NPL disappear except for other DVRs and PCs on the network.

I use multiple levels of nested folders in my GoBack directory, like:

If I just browse the first level of subfolders, everything is fine. If I go until a second level (like root - The 4400 - Season 1) and use the left arrow to back out, when I get back to my main NPL, everything is missing except the entries for the other TiVos on the network, my PC (running TiVo Desktop) and Galleon.

If I drop to Live TV (or just go back to TiVo Central) and then go back to the NPL, everything is fine again.

I think I've found a bug ... I can reliably reproduce it and make my entire NPL disappear except for other DVRs and PCs on the network.

I use multiple levels of nested folders in my GoBack directory, like:

root
Battlestar Galactica
show 1
show 2
The 4400
Season 1
show 1
show 2
Season 2
show 1
show 2

If I just browse the first level of subfolders, everything is fine. If I go until a second level (like root - The 4400 - Season 1) and use the left arrow to back out, when I get back to my main NPL, everything is missing except the entries for the other TiVos on the network, my PC (running TiVo Desktop) and Galleon.

If I drop to Live TV (or just go back to TiVo Central) and then go back to the NPL, everything is fine again.

Very nice catch! This ones very interesting. Not sure who is to blame; could be a TiVo bug too. I'll have to do some debugging.

Do you have random play enabled?

I have never set this option, so I'm pretty sure the answer is "no".

Some more info: I did the upgrade by copying the "data" and "conf" directories from the 1.9.2 installation folder into a new 2.0.1 installation folder. I wanted to have 1.9.2 to roll back to in case of problems.

Basically, I'm hearing one song and seeing the artist/title info for a completely different song.

The filesystem hierarchy is created by iTunes. One folder per artist, subfolders for albums, MP3 files in the subfolders. I use the Galleon Music app rather than the iTunes app because the iTunes app only seems to export playlists, and I don't use playlists much.

Here's another problem I'm seeing with 2.0.1 that I didn't see with 1.9.2:

Start the GoBack app from the Galleon UI. Click on the tab that lists the programs on the TiVo. The list appears.

Click the checkbox for a program.

With 1.9.2, this worked just fine. The checkbox displayed as checked, the program started uploading to the computer, and you could move on to your next task.

With 2.0.1, the Galleon UI locks up entirely. One time I tried this, the program uploaded in the background while the GUI was locked up. Another time I tried this, the program did not upload, and the GUI locked up.

Has anyone else seen this?

Actually, yes, I did have this happen to me but dismissed it as related to something else and didn't think about it again. I tried to select a recording to transfer and the GUI locked up (this was on Linux) so I closed everything. When I checked later, I found that the file I had been trying to select did in fact transfer. I don't think I've tried a transfer since then ...

I'm trying to set up the ToGo Properties.

What the 4-digit PIN that it's asking me for? I never had to have such a number before.

FYI: I just did "1234" as the number and it's OK now. Weird though.

And everything's working OK on MacOS 10.3.9.

I'm currently investigating a possible bug that might be causing some of the data not to be picked up by TiVo properly.

Leon - I'm sorry to be a pest, but were you able to re-create this and/or investigate this? Please let me know if you need any help diagnosing the issue.

Yes, there is a bug. Probably in the Galleon code. Debugging this is taking time, since its not obvious what the exact problem is.

Not sure whether this is a bug or expected functionality.

Using the Galleon desktop interface, I can select one or more Tivo files for download. This is good.

In one case, the transfer was aborted due to me closing the Galleon app (d-oh).

I went back into the "TivoToGo" section and attempted to re-select the same file for download. It wasn't there.

It appears that once a show is selected for download, that show is not available for download again?

I witnesses this with 1.9x and now with 2.x. Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks again for a great application.

The PC Publishing port has to be 80. Unfortunately, there is no way to test this on your local network. TiVo handles local network connections differently from remote internet connections.

Don't take this wrong but, If it has to be 80 why is there an entry to change it? Also, what if your IP blocks incoming 80 will this cause a failure?

The downloaded recording should appear in the downloaded tab in the configuration GUI.

The next version of Galleon will have support to re-download a recording. For now your only option is to delete the Galleon database by stopping the Galleon service and deleting everything under the Galleon data directory.

It only has to be 80 if you plan to share any of the apps remotely. Some users also have other services running locally using port 80, so they can configure Galleon to use another port. This port isnt just used for sharing, it makes features like GoBack work too.

If your ISP is blocking port 80, then there is currently no workaround. The TiVo recorder uses port 80 and this is not configurable.

I don't know why, but once a program is selected for download from the ToGo App (and you leave the ToGo App), it is no longer in the ToGo list when you go back to the ToGo app. (I have had this occur repeatedly with 1.9, but I haven't tried 2.0 yet.)

First off great app as always!

I installed 2.01 and everything appears to run correctly. I noticed that you had extended the go-back folders capability into the videocasting app such that I now have a folder for each Video cast. So I upped my download number from 1 to 5 since there wouldn't be as much clutter on the menu, and I could have more video's waiting.

Here's the intersting part. GAlleon went out and downloaded more videos as requested so I now have several folders with 4 or 5 video in them. When I go to transfer them to the Tivo no matter which video in the list I select it brings me to the transfer screen for the 1st video in the list.

Any thoughts?

Scott.

Ever since my upgrade to 2.0.1 (not sure if 2.0.0 did this, I never ran it), my RSS apps that display on Tivo share the same name. However, the feeds inside them are different.

I have Galleon configured with 4 RSS feed apps (Sports, News, Deals, Tech News). Each is defined in Galleon as "RSS - <Topic>", such as "RSS - Sports". The feeds are then assigned per category.

When I browse Galleon on my Tivo, all 4 RSS apps are named the same (which ever was created first in the Galleon GUI). Seems like the feeds are fine, just the names are messed up.

Is this a bug that has been previously reported? I have used multiple RSS apps for ages in Galleon, but recall this happening only since the upgrade to 2.0.1.

I have completely removed and recreated the RSS apps with no change in behavior.

Thanks!!!

Is Configuration the only way to access the program? I see the list of shows on both my TIVOs. I check the box for a show. But then what? I dont see a "Transfer" button...or anything that says anything is happening.

I set up TOGO app. I can see the list of both TIVOs on either TIVO at TOGO. I select a show and click Save To Computer. I got Connecting..................and an ongoing line of dots..........

I cancelled that one.

I selected a different show on the other TIVO and click Save to Computer....I get Save Selected. So....now what?

Make sure that all the ports that Galleon needs are configured on your PC firewall:

Leon,

I'm running Galleon on a win 2000 PC at 1.2ghz PC with 256MB of ram. I moved recently and when I was setup in the new place I could see the Galleon server in the now playing section, but the shows wouldn't list. I'd get a message that the server wasn't available. I restarted one of the TiVo's to see if that would fnix the issue, but it didn't.

Next, I restarted the server to no effect. So, since I was running 1.9 I decided to take the plunge and install 2.1. The install blew with some message I clicked past too quickly to notice, so when it didn't work I uninstalled Galleon and every version of Java I had running on the box.

Now, whenever I try to install the app I'm getting an error during the Java installation about a corrupt cab file. I'm thinking the problem is still on my end but wanted to bring this to your attention anyway in case you know of a quick fix.

Thx!

I am having the same problem as another user mentioned earlier. Here is what I am doing.

I have a computer dedicated to being a Tivo Server.
This Computer is running Windows XP and has two hard drives (D:/ and E:/)
This computer does not currently have a firewall enabled nor does it have an ativirus installed.
Since the new version of Galleon is supposed to be able to recognize folders I only setup two entries in the GoBack menu. The first is named Tivo1 and is pointed to the D:/ drive and the second is named Tivo2 and is pointed to the E:/ drive.

On each of these drives I have files arranged in folders (such as Alias, Mythbusters, etc.)

When I go to the tivo I can see both Tivo1 and Tivo2 listed.

When I select Tivo1 (or 2) I can indeed the the folders that are listed there.
But when I select one of these folders it shows as being empty.

Here is what I have done to test. (used the mythbusters folder, which contains only tivo files as they were when tranferred from the tivo without any editing)

I went into galleon and to the goback menu and set a link named mythbusters and pointed it to D:/mythbusters
Then I went to the tivo and I could locate the mythbusters folder, and after selecting it I can view, transfer and watch any file in the folder.

I then went to the Tivo1 link (still points to D:/) in the tivo now playing list and selected it.
I can locate the mythbusters folder but when I click on it the tivo says that the file is empty.

So I have determined that there is not any issue at all with the format of the files in the folder but do not know why it is not displaying properly if I try to navigate to them by using the subfolders.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this Issue? Sorry for the long description but I wanted to give all information so that there would not be confusion on what the issue was or what I have already done.

There's a "bug" in TiVo Desktop in that you can't use the root directory of a drive as your recordings directory (i.e., D:\), it has to be a folder (like D:\My TiVo Recordings). I wonder if Galleon is experiencing the same issue.

It sounds like if you created E:\TiVo and D:\TiVo folders, and published those in GoBack, with all of your show subfolders underneath, you should get the results you are looking for.

Thanks I will try that when I get home from work tonight. Even though I do know that if I have a file in the root directory is is seen (I use the E:/ drive as the default save directory and have it setup so that everything saves to the root of that drive until I sort them, but I keep it listed in the now playing list so that the files can be viewed from there until I get around to doing the sorting.

I Dled the java runtime from Sun and installed it from there. Then installed Galleon. Afterwards it worked fine, if a bit peculiar as it attempts to connect to the server several times when you try to make changes. No time outs though and the apps are appearing on the TiVos.

Are there any errors in the Galleon logs?

The only error showing in the logs is the following. BTW I am actually using 2.1.0, I just posted in the wrong thread by accident but was having the same promblem with 2.0.0 as well.

01:28:27,585 WARN [Wrapper-Connection] EhCache - Could not find configuration for net.sf.hibernate.cache.StandardQueryCache. Configuring using the defaultCache settings.

Any ideas on how to title an mpg or .tivo file so that the show title, episode title, and episode number will appear correctly?

I've got almost all the 7th heaven episodes on my pc (from my replaytv, actually), and have edited the ads out. Want to put them on my Tivo, and I can use GoBack to get them there.

The problem is that regardless of what I name the file, only the episode title (not show name etc) shows up on the Tivo. I've read through the thread, and if I put anything in curly brackets, then all the info in the brackets does show up, but it shows up in curly brackets and makes sorting a bit tricky. Also, is there a way to get them to all definitely be in the same group on the Tivo? Any help is appreciated!

Thanks.

Now that you mention it, one of the recent releases of Galleon did do an odd thing and put the episode title as the name of the show. This might have been fixed in one of the later versions of Galleon (this is the 2.0.1 thread, and Galleon is at least at 2.2.0 now).

You probably already know the format that Galleon uses when it records a show, like:
The Ellen DeGeneres Show - Lauren Graham (Recorded Tue Feb 14 2006 04 00PM KPHO).TiVo . I guess that it might use the same format for other kinds of files (like .mpg).

My filename is: 7th Heaven - (210) 10-11 Xmas.tivo
and when I use Galleon GoBack to transfer it, the file is just listed as (210) 10-11 Xmas, with no Show title listed anywhere. My goal is to be able to transfer all episodes of 7th Heaven, for example, and have them show up in a group called 7th Heaven on the Tivo. Is there a way to do this?

I was wondering if anyone has more details on the jabber app such as which port it tries to use to connect to the jabber server and whether or not it uses the standard jabber XMPP protocol or requires Poling or Binding on the server.

When I try it, I just get a blank screen with the Jabber title at the top.

Thanks,
Chris

To fix this, use a comma or some other punctuation. Galleon treats dashes differently than you would expect - as I discovered when following a similar naming scheme. Once you change both dashes out, then the full name will show up.

My goal is to be able to transfer all episodes of 7th Heaven, for example, and have them show up in a group called 7th Heaven on the Tivo. Is there a way to do this?

If this is actually a .tivo file that you haven't edited, then they will group again on the TiVo. If these are actually MPG files you've renamed, then you'll have to mess with the header - which requires pulling the first bytes off the TiVo version of the file before editing.

FWIW,
Ewan

And to clarify, I think they will only group if the show also appears in your Guide data.

And to do that, check out this (http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=284726).

Something else I just stumbled across (maybe this has been reported previously) ... using single quotes in the filename (the default when TiVoDesktop downloads something) also seems to break Galleon's episode naming functionality.

For example, in my Lost folder I have files like

- Lost 02x12 - Fire Plus Water.TiVo
- Lost 02x13 - The Long Con.mpg
- Lost 02x14 - One of Them.TiVo

And in my Battlestar Galactica folder I have:

- Battlestar Galactica 2x13 - ''Epiphanies''.TiVo
- Battlestar Galactica 2x14 - ''Scar''.TiVo
- Battlestar Galactica 2x15 - ''Sacrifices''.TiVo

When browsing through Galleon, the Lost folder will be listed as:

- One of Them
- The Long Con
- Fire Plus Water

But the Battlestar Galactica Folder will show:

- Battlestar Galactica
- Battlestar Galactica
- Battlestar Galactica

{SeriesTitle}{OriginalAirDate}{EpisodeTitle}{DateRecorded}{C allSign}.mpg


Works great! Thank you for enlighting me on this, I wish TiVo would have better ToGo/GoBack documentation.

One issue I still have is even though the {SeriesTitle} may be duplicate, the video is not grouped on the TiVo. That is if the Series Title was "Endicot", and I had three "Episodes", named, "Episode 1", "Episode 2".... TiVo would display:

Endicot
Endicot
Endicot

From the TiVo menu I can't disguinish them, and they fill up the whole screen. Why doesn't it put them in their own unique folder (like TiVo recorded shows with same SeriesTitle)?
