Hackman -- A Hack Manager module for TivoWeb - Page 55

PortlandPaw · 03-15-2009, 01:01 PM

Here's what I'd do

Code:

rm -r /var/hack/TivoWebPlus

That gets rid of your old hackman installation -- you don't need it

Code:

mv /var/hack/hackman-V7.1.0.tgz /hackman-V7.1.0.tgz

That moves your file to a new location. Then

Code:

cd /
tar xvzf hackman-V7.1.0.tgz

That should do it! Good luck!

WOOOHOO!! That did it!!! *happy dance*

Thank you so much PortlandPaw!!! This has been 2 years of trying to be able to do this

And now, I've been able to start from buying a used tivo and get to this point! I'm so happy!!! *hugs*

Sorry to take you back in time to when 4.2.8 was an ongoing concern...

I had a disk go out and have rebuilt but trying to get hackman on is proving to be a little awkward...

ftp'd the files (using Binary) to my tivoweb-tcl dir and subs, then ./hackman.itcl gives me this:

./hackman.itcl
./hackman.itcl: proc: command not found
./hackman.itcl: global: command not found
./hackman.itcl: line 34: syntax error near unexpected token `}'
./hackman.itcl: line 34: `}'

where am I going wrong?

Thanks,

Del.

I need a little help decrypting a 6.4a HR10-250. I would like to know first if there is any way to enable networking and preserve my recordings. Second if not how do I disable encryption on my working drive that I am practicing on. I have used PTVNet and InstantCake, and have your Hackman utility working. I'm still not able to download a file that I can open however. Do you have a utility to accomplish the decryption or could you add that?
Thanks,
Mark

PortlandPaw · 02-03-2010, 03:51 PM

Sorry, my first hand knowledge stops at version 6.2. I hope to graduate to HD some day, but it won't be soon.

I have a series 2 and am having a problem getting Hackman to start with TWP.

Software System: 6.2-01-2-321
TWP Version 2.1.b3 (oztivo-091208)T
Hackman version 7.1.0
TWP is in \TivoWebPlus with config files in \var\TWP\configs

I removed all Hackman files on the box by referencing the files in the Hackman -V7.1.0.tgz file. Then followed the instructions in the Read-Me file. Now I see the proper Hackman files in the modules folder under TivoWebPlus.

When I reboot the TiVo TWP launches and seems fine, except I have no Hackman.

The only reference to Hackman in the TWP log file is:
hackman_util,
-- Loading hackman Version 7.1.0 --
-Tuesday, February 23, 2010, 09:20 AM, local time
-hackman comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.
-This program is licensed under the GPL.
-See the 'docs/Hackman -- LICENSES.txt' file for copyright and credit information.
-Checking TWP version number: newer TivoWebPlus version
-Root directory mounted read-only (recommended)
-hackman utility load completed

I know I am probably making a simple mistake, but after a couple of days searching I cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

PortlandPaw · 07-02-2010, 05:41 PM

I know it's been a long time and I don't know how many old TiVos and old TiVo hackers are out there, but I found a bug or two in Hackman and fixed them. They've been there for almost a year and a half, so it's doubtful than anyone really cares, but if you do, click the link in my sig.

dlmcmurr · 07-02-2010, 08:51 PM

Still using it! Thanks for all your hard work.

Dave

StanSimmons · 07-03-2010, 01:28 AM

Ditto

magnus · 07-05-2010, 10:06 AM

Same here. I wish Tivo would allow for TWP and hackman without having to hack the box. It's a lot easier to use than some of the things that Tivo has out of the box.

KyooMac · 07-07-2010, 09:44 AM

I'm still using it on two DSR 704's with dual 500gb seagate hard drives. thanks for your update and hard work!

Soapm · 07-07-2010, 11:05 PM

Still working great for me. Thanks for the update!

MontyL · 09-30-2010, 09:08 AM

David, you keep doing what you do, we'll keep giving you kudos!

I thought I broke it unpacking 7.1.1 over 7.1.0, nearly panicked when I found that the only prior version I had backed up was 7.0.2, and breathed a sigh when it started working after chmod'ing the mips and ppc folders followed by a full restart of the TiVo and two full restarts of TWP... RTFM!

(yes, the join date and post count are correct... read and learn, grasshoppers!)

ToshTivo · 11-29-2010, 01:09 AM

David, First of All...Thanks for all your work. I have tried to update my TWP with your hackmand 7.1.1 files and have been not been able to get it to load, however TWP loads fine. I have read this this forum for problems similar to mine and tried out the suggestions but have been unsucessful. If you have the time I would appreciate a pointer in looking over my log file for a potential fix. Thanks Again!

Hi,

I'm struggling with switching between TivoWeb (1.9.4) and TWP (2.1.b3) on my UK TiVo.

I've followed the PortlandPaw 2007 guide and installed HackMan 7.1.1 running on TWP and Hackman 4.2.8 on TivoWeb

While I can switch from TWP to TivoWeb there is no option to switch back

As far as I could understand the guide I have the right version of Hackman for each TivoWeb. But have I misunderstood and should I have 7.1.1 on both? Can I just copy the TWP installation to the Tivoweb directory or do I need to reinstall (gulp)

Thanks

Aleks

djl25 · 09-22-2011, 11:24 AM

Just curious: when you say "switching between", do you have a need of both Tivoweb versions being installed? The easiest way to do that would be to have them in completely separate directories and on different ports. Then just install the different Hackman versions to the correct Tivoweb installation.

The Brits do need both versions installed in separate directories, with redundant hackman installations.

aleks, try this. In the TivoWeb installation, go to the Preferences page (link at the bottom, the date unless you've changed it) and then the View paths and pathnames page. At the bottom is the option to rebuild the configuration file.

Doing that should find the TWP installation and enable switching between them.

Good luck!

aleks · 09-26-2011, 12:03 PM

That's fantastic. It works. Thank you so much.

My poor Tivo may be 11 years old but I would get into such trouble if any of it stopped working and switching between the tivowebs is so useful. Being a mk1 with a 50Mhz processor it really struggles running both at the same time.

Wow, a 50Mhz processor. I forgot there ever made those. Until I bought my router I was using a DX4 100 box for a firewall. Kind of hated to retire it since it was stable as all heck.

lawrny · 07-11-2012, 11:47 AM

OK I finally got the link but I need UID and Password for your Site PortlandPaw. I think I remember that you had a simular security hidden in your readme files but I cannot find it. Can you help rebuilding DVR40 since Directv corrected the local channels after almost 2 years.

dalejshaw · 08-26-2012, 12:47 AM

Greetings,

I am unable to download the latest hackman from the tivohackman.com website. The program files link appears to be broken. I get a directory listing denied error using Firefox 15 and IE9 just times out.

I have a copy that I downloaded a while back, version 4.2, which I have tried installing. When I follow the instructions for installation and restart TivoWeb Plus, 2.1.3b, nothing appears to happen and no new links appear in the browser. The browsers are the same as listed above. My OS is Windows 7 Ultimate SP1. My Tivo is an upgraded Series 1 with the 3.0-01-1-000 operating system.

When I try to execute the hackman.tcl from a shell prompt, it errors out on line 34 with a message about an unknown back door program. I have checked the path variable and added every sub folder of tivoweb-tcl and have given execution rights to .tcl and .itcl files.

Regards,
Dale

PortlandPaw · 08-26-2012, 09:12 AM

I rebuilt our server a month ago and neglected to enable directory browsing for the hackman website. I've fixed it, but I guess there isn't much demand for hackman anymore.

The DirecTV/TiVo revision of the channel programming which made the old 6.2a hackable MRV features (among others) obsolete forced me to mothball my seven DirecTiVos and move to DirecTV's Whole House. Pluses and minuses for sure, but I miss the old TiVos. I did set up two of them to act as program servers as they're loaded with movies and such.

So hackman, and all TiVo development is dead. As for the install problems, please read the readme on the website. hackman.tcl doesn't run from the prompt -- it has to be installed correctly and loaded by TWP.

It was a great ride while it lasted. I still use hackman on my S3.

Thanks for the great work.

PortlandPaw · 09-02-2012, 07:20 AM

Thanks. I really miss TiVo and it pains me to have a pleasurable hobby yanked out from under me. But, you're right, it was a great ten-year ride.
