Galleon 1.9.2

javahmo · 11-20-2005, 02:38 PM

The open source Galleon 1.9.2 media server for TiVo is now available.

This version includes the following:

Fix for online radio streams

Your TiVo needs to be running at least version 7.2 software.

This is a bug fix release for a critical streaming bug.

always working on this app. Nice to see shareware where quality is such a big part of the app.

I searched a bit but couldn't find any discussion on it: Does galleon support wma files, say with the help of Pzand's plugin?

AkWally1 · 11-21-2005, 09:36 AM

I have a question that I posted on the main board, but no response, so I shall try here.

I'm running Galleon 1.9.0 and I'm having a problem with the photo viewer. When I'm in thumbnail view on the TiVo, the photos look fine, exactly as they look on the PC. When I go to view the photo, or start a slideshow, they look extremely washed out/overexposed. Any idea what would be causing this?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Mark

p.s. - This is the first time I've used Galleon, so I can't say if it worked under a previous version.

Leon,

I installed 1.9.2 Last week over an old install before leaving to go out of town. When I returned 5 days later I noticed Galleon wasn't working and no number of reboots or restarts of the service would bring it back though the PC was online and active. I finnally had to uninstall Galleon and reinstall it, but I've noticed now that the Jukebox app doesn't show any songs and there is no option in the app to specify music file location.

Since this is a headless box and I have had trouble with network coinnectivity on my controlling machine I haven't been able to do anything else to trouble shoot it. My next task is to uninstall again, install 1.7.0 and upgrade from there. Just wanted to let you know in case it was a known issue or if the Jukebox app has changed significantly.

Thx!

Are there any errors in the Galleon logs?

No, only MP3 files. Pzand's plugin only works as a plugin to the TiVo Desktop software.

Could you email me an example image?

The Jukebox playlist is populated from the other music apps:

Stormspace · 12-02-2005, 12:24 PM

I was confused by the new app. I always called the organizer the jukebox on my own setup, so when I saw it in the list I thought organizer when in fact it's something way cooler. At any rate, I had to uninstall 1.9.2, reinstall 1.7.0 and then upgrade to 1.9.2 in order to make my set up work. Don't know what craziness caused the problem, but it's gone now. Thanks for the help.

jdruding · 12-04-2005, 03:06 PM

Hi Leon,

I have been consistantly upgrading Galleon as you have been releasing it. Since about 1.9.0, I have noticed that it has been slowing down substantially. It takes forever to move through the menus, and now, if I play music it just skips as if it can't keep up. I tried rebooting the computer, rebooting tivo, uninstalling and reinstalling Galleon with no luck. Any ideas?

windracer · 12-04-2005, 09:50 PM

I'm having the problem again where after initiating a ToGo transfer, the app doesn't respond to the arrow buttons anymore. The only way to get out of the screen is to use the TiVo button or drop to Live TV.

I had this problem in 1.9.0, then it seemed to be fixed with 1.9.1, but now in 1.9.2 it's back.

Stormspace · 12-05-2005, 07:52 AM

Leon. I don't have any logs or such to give you, but this weekend I uninstalled Galleon and reinstalled 1.9.2. I never could get the TiVo's to show any apps after that. My solution was to downgrade to 1.9.0. I am also seeing jdruding's issue as well. It's a good thing my Galleon box is dedicated.

One other thing too, and I'm not sure what can be done about it until I'm on the latest version. I'm seeing drops and skips during playback. I moved the box to a wired setup, but the tivos are still wireless. I'm certain its a network issue, but didn't know what could be done to minimize bandwidth to maximize throughput.

For instance, if the Galleon box is transferring a show put that transfer on hold if music starts to play. Anyway, great app. I'm off to see if I can trouble shoot the network stuff.

To the Most Execellent Developer of Galleon -

First let me thank you for an amazing application!

I just downloaded Galleon 1.9.2 yesterday to leverage the playlists in my iTunes and the plugin works great - thanks!

The only question I have is whether the plug in supports the shufle feature of iTunes?

I shuffled the playlist in iTunes last night, let Galleon update over night and then checked the playlist this evening and Galleon did not pick up the shuffle from iTunes.

Is there a way to make this work in Galleon, or does Galleon iTunes plug-in have its own shuffle mode and if so, how do i make this work?

Thanks!

I've isolated the drops and skip issue. Apparently ESPN has a live feed that gives play by play data on any one football game in progress. My son uses this to keep up to date on 49ers games since most of them don't air in our area. This app alone can saturate a wireless network and cause these issues. I've noticed it one other time as well, but didn't make the connection until speaking with my son about his updates and found it was play by play.

I do still have the issue with 1.9.2 not working. Anyone else seeing this?

Off the Galleon topic, but that ESPN feed sounds interesting (ignoring the wireless probs it causes

). Do you know the web address for it?

No idea. My 13 yr old son found it. I'll see if I can get the URL from him.

ESPN's scoreboard feature will allow you to view the play-by-play details of all current games being played. When in the NFL section of ESPN's website, just click the scoreboard link.

Leon -
I'm getting an odd bug in the Galleon Music Organizer app.

When its playing songs, its not necessarily playing the right song. For example, if you select an artist, some of the songs are the right artist, but wrong track (playing vs displayed). Other songs are from a different artist (yet display the artist you want to hear), and a few are correct. The bug isn't solely related to artist -- that's just the easiest example to summarize.

I was playing music over the weekend, when the Star Wars theme song started playing, but that wasn't the album/artist I had picked. At first I thought my MP3 filename structure had gotten all messed up, but the standard TiVo HMO music player displays and plays the songs correctly.

Any thoughts? Perhaps the music organizer needs to refresh its directory? Is there a way to force that?

Thanks!!!

I've added some logic to Galleon for the next version to hold off on refreshing the list of recordings on the TiVo while it is busy with other Galleon tasks such as downloading (with ToGo) or uploading (with GoBack). I might have to extend this logic for more cases that could overload wireless networks.

Did you try to restart your TiVo while Galleon is running?

Galleon has its own shuffle mode; use the Enter button in the iTunes app to change the music random play option.

Do you have random play enabled? How are you playing the songs: as individual tracks in a folder or do you press play on a folder?

Hi Leon,

Yes, I am on a wireless network. (802.11B) One thing I recall is that I added the iTunes app right around the time that I started having problems. Could it be more network intensive than some of the other apps maybe?

The iTunes is more CPU intensive than network intensive. There is nothing in particular about it that should cause network issues.

Oh, that one. I've seen it.....thought it was an RSS feed or something that he was talking about since it was slowing down the wireless network. I misunderstood.

Yes, I tried all manner of combinations in an attempt to get the tivo to see the apps, including disabling HMA and reenabling it.

Yes, this thing is a hog on bandwidth. Nothing else on my network will cause the tivo's to drop music but this one web app. I can be streaming photos and music to both tivo's and be transferring a show with no problems, but if only one tivo is playing music and that app starts, it's skip city.

Stormspace · 12-07-2005, 10:01 AM

Leon,

My mother came over on Sunday to eat with us and she saw the Photo's playing with the music going on the Tivo. She's seen the TiVo several times before and it was always that's nice, but after seeing the Photo's and music going at the same time she was asking about it and very interested. She's closer to buying a TiVo now than she ever was. Good Work!
