Setting up Recordings using DigiGuide

[rondun]

Is this a solution which will continue to work after June 1?

[spitfires]

It's an option to consider. Doesn't offer season passes or any other good stuff though - it would be a purely 'manual recording' option.

[Fred Smith]

I seen to remember that it checks the EPG on TiVo before setting a recording, so no EPG no recording.

[DB70+]

But it does offer Season Passes.

Yes it does check the Tivo EPG but does it really need to if the info is OK from Digiguide.

Can this modified or at least incorporate manrec that will load the Tivo with programmes selected from Digiguide?

That works by telling the Tivo to "do" the Season Pass, which of course, it can't do without it's own guide data.

Digiguide can tell the Tivo to do an individual manual recording but that as far as it will go at the moment. Digiguide program can be changed of course, but Dabdig might be a better possibility.

[TCM2007]

The EPG data also includes all the channel listings etc, so even manual solutions will eventually fail.

[spitfires]

This is the same as previous version 2.6 but doesn't require any configuration to work with various TivoWeb versions.

Tested with TivoWeb 1.9.4, TivoWebPlus 1.3, 2.0 and 2.1b3

just re-installed DG search ver 2.5 along with it's chan_map file, but a few problems, as follows:
when I right click in DG on BBC2 and say 'record with Tivo' I get "BBC 2 NORTH" not a valid channel, default name in DG IS BBC 2 NORTH, but in chan_map it's just
BBC2 (no space between C and 2) so I altered it on DG to be BBC2, with the same result, so I then altered chan_map to BBC 2 NORTH, changed DG back to default (BBC 2 NORTH) with exactly the same result, looked at the callsign for that channel on Tivoweb (ver 1.9.4) which shows as BBC2 and a name of BBC2 (England), I seem to have tried all permutations (I think) restarted TW, re-booted Tivo and re-started DG each time all to no avail, there are a few other channels with the same problem but I thought if some kind soul can give me the answer for beeb 2 I can alter the others myself. All help greatly appreciated.

I think you need to add a line to chan_map.txt which says
BBC2 North == BBC2

Similar to the one for BBC2 South.

And then restart Tivoweb.

thanks Micheal, I'm sure I've done that already but will check.

[rondun]

What do you do with the chan_map file?

[michael401]

You install it in the modules directory on the tivo, alongside digiguidesearch.itcl

Cheers - did figure it out in the end, (still might be good to put it in the readme.)

Was planning on using this to use this to record the channels which the replacement service doesn't have data for, but realised that won't work.

So using dabdig to set up manual recordings looks like an option, but I guess that won't work either for channels not selected in "channels I receive" to avoid the blank ones causing the rebooting problem?

just installed the new digiguide 2.6a, but can anybody help i am getting this back,
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
--cut here--
action_conflicts '' 'set "quality" "75";set "kal" "2";set "startearly" "0";set "endlate" "0";set "objectid" "444210/42";'
extra characters after close-quote
while compiling
"puts $chan "
how can i put this right

[spitfires]

The line you added to ui.itcl for your "tryothertivo" command is wrong and you have corrupted the script.

It should look like this

puts -nonewline $chan [html_table_end]
puts $chan "<P>"
tryothertivo $chan $objectid
puts $chan [html_form_start "POST" "/record"]
puts $chan [html_form_hidden "quality" $quality]

Check, double-check and then check again that you have typed the command correctly with no stray quote marks and no fullstops anywhere. Also check you haven't deleted the quote mark from the end of the previous line!

[cahir982]

Thanks Spitfires all up and running working great,Now i have 2 TiVos and done the same with the second one but when i try to try other TiVo i get this ERROR: Not Enough Parameters!

any help would be great and thanks again for getting digiguide working

[spitfires]

Perhaps if you took more time checking what you are doing rather than just whacking something in and then posting a "help it doesn't work" message?

Just a thought.
