A better /nowplaying/index.html - Page 5

LordKronos · 01-05-2007, 07:48 AM

This thread is a bit old, but somehow I just stumbled across it now. I downloaded the code linked to from the first post, but it doesn't work in firefox 2. When I load the page, I keep getting "XML Parsing Error: not well-formed" errors about the "if test" and "when test" lines having the greater/less than comparisons.

I see someone else pointed this out, but the issue was never addressed. Was there any resolution for it?

Morac - I ran into a problem with the new Amazon Unbox downloads, namely I didn't know that I did not have enough space on my Tivo to store the Amazon download. So, of course, the download just disappeared in the 'bit bucket'.

Was scanning for a way to see how much space I had available.
Your xhtml worked perfectly with Firefox 2.0.0.3
I DID have to tell firefox to ignore all the possible hazards of opening this xhtml code but by adding my tivo IP address from Tivo Desktop - Tivo Server Properties - Access Control and the Media Access Key (which I got from the Tivo webpage for managing my account.

Thanks again. This is a great solution.

morac: gman's file didn't work for me (Firefox 2, TiVo Series 2, TiVos have 8.x software) but YOUR DOES and I say THANK YOU!

Thanks! Still works great on Firefox 2.0.0.7 and Mac OS X 10.4.10.

For some reason, my copy from ages ago stopped working, but this one is fine.

Seems that the Fall Update to 9.1 broke this. Can anyone else confirm?

morac · 10-03-2007, 07:50 PM

My S2 downloaded 9.1 but hasn't installed it yet. I'll try it tomorrow. If the XML data has changed then it most likely won't work.

Also remember that this won't work with S3's regardless until ToGo is enabled.

jessenj · 10-04-2007, 08:34 AM

I just tried the latest against my 9.1 S2 and while it shows that its downloading 54 of 54 shows, there are no results returned and the page is blank.

Yup. Same thing here. 9.1 on a Series 2 DT.

morac · 10-04-2007, 02:15 PM

It looks like TiVo added some additional fields to the XML data (and possibly removed a few). Since Gman662 doesn't seem to be around any more I can take a look at it, but unfortunately XSL isn't really my strong suite so I don't know how long it will take me to fix it.

pldoolittle · 10-04-2007, 09:40 PM

Fortunately, my new DT is still 8.3 and my old machines are 9.1. The 8.3 (Spring 07 update) works and the 9.1 (Fall 07) does not. I have compared the XML output and here are the new fields found in my output:

TivoContainer - Details - UniqueID
TivoContainer - Item - Description - HighDefinition
TivoContainer - Item - Description - EpisodeNumber
TivoContainer - Item - Description - ByteOffset

Does the script reference the namespace? It has changed.

morac · 10-05-2007, 09:54 AM

Actually it does. I hope it's as simple as just changing that, but it might not be.

I can't try this at the moment, but if you open the nowPlaying.xhtml file change "calypso-protocol-1.5" to "calypso-protocol-1.6" and try it and tell me if it works.

jessenj · 10-05-2007, 09:59 AM

That did indeed fix it and I now see the full list of programs!!!

morac · 10-05-2007, 10:38 AM

Okay I made the change to the version I uploaded. I also add a "HD" column which lists if the show is in HD or not. It won't be very useful until ToGo is enabled on the S3, but I tested it by saving the XML data and changing the HighDefinition values to "yes" and then loading it and it works.

You can grab the 9.1 compatible version here.
I left the old version around for people who haven't got 9.1 yet.

Works great. Thank you.

morac · 10-05-2007, 04:54 PM

I accidentally reversed the quality and HD columns. I made a fix for this and uploaded it again.

Also I added an option to not grab the expiration date if the user so chooses. Just set the getExpires variable to false.

morac · 10-05-2007, 08:52 PM

I made a few more additions and re-uploaded here.

Here's the change list:

1. If you have more than one TiVo configured, there is now a button to press to get the data. I did this because I wanted to choose which TiVo without having to wait for the first one to download it's listings.

2. I added a copy protected column which indicates if the program is copy protected or not. Also if the program is copy protected I removed the download link since it doesn't work anyway.

3. The now recording items always listed as "planned". They should now correct indicate when they are suggestions.

bajaman · 10-09-2007, 09:24 PM

Thanks this has been one of my favorite scripts!!!

One question I've always been meaning to ask? How do you determine the total gigabytes used to record shows? I have to Tivo 240's with 160 GB drives. I calculated the hours used and the hours left to get an approximate number, seeing that I only record in BEST. I use 99.25, which almost matches my Recording stat in settings.

Is that correct or do you have a better way?

Thanks!!!

morac · 10-09-2007, 11:10 PM

The total GB of all the non-suggestion recordings is listed at the top. If you're TiVo is completely full (suggestions and scheduled recordings) with no free or deleted program, You can figure out the total GB using another program like TiVoPlayList. I guess I could add the total space used including suggestions at some point.

Also the quality values for the programs is a best guess based on the bitrate. It's not always correct but since the TiVo doesn't list the actual recording quality without digging down into each individual program (which takes time), it tries to guess based on the size and playing time.

Edit: It will update with the correct quality once it updates the expiration time. I usually just turn off the retrieval of the expiration time since I find no use for it.

bajaman · 10-10-2007, 08:40 PM

Thanks for the quick response.

morac · 10-22-2007, 02:07 PM

I don't see anything noticeably wrong with the code, but I'll look into it.

morac · 10-22-2007, 07:32 PM

Your zip file is missing the tp.xsl file. Could you attach it?

cassiusdrow · 10-22-2007, 09:26 PM

Didn't know it used that. Added to the zip:

morac · 10-22-2007, 10:12 PM

Okay I think I fixed it, but I can't test it because there are 2 other files that are missing: TivoPie.class and ipr.png. The only real changed needed was in tp.xsl, but I modified TiVoPie2.html to allow the user to choose which TiVo before it downloads the listings (if there is more than one TiVo listed).

If it works, can you please attach the entire thing with all 4 files?

SeanC · 10-23-2007, 08:15 AM

So what's supposed to happen when I dbl click on nowplaying.xhtml?

I'm pretty sure I edited it correctly to add my MAK and tivo IP address but when I launch it Firefox opens and says Loading in the corner, but the screen itself is empty.

Any idea what the problem is?

morac · 10-23-2007, 02:38 PM

Assuming the ip address and MAK address is correct it should start downloading the show listings. It may put up a security warning message box, which you'd have to okay, since a script on the page is attempting to open a connection to the TiVo (which is considered a security risk by the TiVo).

If absolutely nothing is happening, try checking the Error console (Tools->Error Console) for errors.

SeanC · 10-23-2007, 03:21 PM

K, thanks, I'll take a look at that when I get home.

Thanks for you help!

Here's the full package. I didn't realize it required more than the html file.

SeanC · 10-24-2007, 08:17 AM

Got around to looking at it last night. I had edited the wrong line with an IP address, it was commented out. Fixed that and everything is working now.

Great work Morac!

TivoPie is great too!
