Problem with Merge module on TIVOweb

[JustinBaron]

Hi

I am trying to get thismodule to work but am getting the following error:

INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
--cut here--
action_merge '' ''
can't read "::tyshow_links": no such variable
while executing
"if { $::tyshow_links } {
set merge_th "$merge_th [th ""]"
}"
(procedure "::action_merge" line 62)
invoked from within
"::action_$action $chan $part $env"
("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval {::action_$action $chan $part $env}"
--cut here--

Can anyone help or tell me a better way to dump multiple shows to VCR?

All my other recent hacks seem to have worked fine!

Thanks!

Justin

Where did you get your merge module? I am looking for something that does this as well.....

Thanks

Sounds like you are trying to run a module for TiVoweb Plus on TiVoweb, or possibly vice versa.

There is also a something called BatchSave - do search in this group

Maybe it's me, but that link doesn't work. Also, a search on "batchsave" only finds this post!

I have seen the same error, and after reading all the threads, I can't find a solution......

I never got the TivoWeb one working either, as I think it requires TivoWebPlus.

The stand alone one works fine though

I got this to work on my TivoWebPlus V1.3.1 install - I used a "traditional hack" method of just removing the offending code! No, you can't always be this lucky, but I didn't really care anything about tyshow links, so I figured I could just disable that part and viola! - it works!!

In the V0.4 merge.itcl module itself, I commented out these lines (note: I did a cat -n merge.itcl to create the line numbers as an aid to finding the lines - they are not in the code!):

Before:
92 if { $::tyshow_links } {
93 set merge_th "$merge_th [th ""]"
94 }

After:

92 # if { $::tyshow_links } {
93 # set merge_th "$merge_th [th ""]"
94 # }
andBefore:
266 if { $::tyshow_links && $type != "" } {
267 set merge_td "$merge_td [td [html_link "/asx/$fsid.asx" "View"]]"
268 }

After:

266 # if { $::tyshow_links && $type != "" } {
267 # set merge_td "$merge_td [td [html_link "/asx/$fsid.asx" "View"]]"
268 # }

There is also one to send keypresses to the tivo to play each show:

I recently updated it to work witk UK tivos:
