Galleon 2.0.1

[javahmo]

The open source Galleon 2.0.1 media server for TiVo is now available.

This version includes the following:

• Fix for app sharing configuration

Your TiVo needs to be running at least version 7.2.1 software.

I just installed 2.0.1 on both my computers. I really like the fact that you added the new menu level. My music photo and more was way to cluttered. One of the computers shows up as galleon and the other shows up as galleon [1]. Is there any way to change the menu name? I would like be able to add the computer name after galleon in the menu.

The other thing I want to mention is the fact that the install always goes great on my xp computer, but on my comp running win 2000 I always get an error when it tries to start the galleon service and I have to reboot the computer to get it to work.

Let me just finish by saying how much both my wife and I like galleon.

Do you have to uninstall the 1.9.2 version or will this just install right over it?

You can change the name in the Galleon configuration GUI File/Properties menu. The value of the name fields is used for the name of the menu.

Web site looks slick! Was that just updated too, or did I miss it?

Simply install over your existing installation. All your configuration settings will be maintained.

Its new with 2.0

[windracer]

Love the new features so far! Being able to group all my Galleon apps under a single menu is great, and I love the fact that it recognizes folder organization for ComeBack tranfers!

I also like how it recognizes file naming conventions and then attempts to sort the files based on those names ... but it doesn't always seem to get it right and I can't necessarily figure out why.

For example, I have the following shows in a hierarchy:

The 4400
- Season 1
-- The 4400 1x01 - ''The Return'' Pilot.mpg
-- The 4400 1x02 - ''The New & Improved Carl Morrissey''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x03 - ''Becoming''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x04 - ''Trial by Fire''.mpg
-- The 4400 1x05 - ''White Light''.mpg

So in Galleon I can browse to Galleon - The 4400 - Season 1 but I see this:

''The New & Improved Carl Morrissey''
''The Return'' Pilot
''Becoming''
"Trial by Fire"
"White Light"

So why is the second episode sorting to the top? I see random mis-fires on the sorting like this in some of my other folders as well. Is it just a refresh issue perhaps?

Also, all of the recording dates in the ComeBack app are today's date ... is that supposed to be like that?

Thanks perfect.

After the update (2.0, but it's still doing it in 2.0.1), all of my RSS apps are entitled "Yahoo", when only one of them should be. I've verified in the setup that they have other names there.

[davezatz]

Clean install of 2.01 - Added Shoutcast, then added Galleon Menu. Now I see Shoutcast outside of the menu and two instances inside the menu. Haven't tried rebooting PC yet, but I thought I'd post incase I forget this ever happened.

Could you try to reboot your TiVo while Galleon is running.

[smoothtivo]

For some reason I can use ToGo from my computer and see the recorded shows fine but no apps are showing up on my tivo. Any idea what im doing wrong?

Thanks,

I've found that the TiVo recorder sometimes holds onto old apps even though they have been removed. They seems to then disappear after some time. It sometimes helps to go in and out of the Music, Photos & More menu. You could also restart your TiVo with Galleon running to get everything back in sync.

Have you enabled all of the ports that Galleon needs in your firewall:

Thanks - install went great without a hitch.

You've got a format problem on this help page, btw:

Leaving it up for an hour didn't help, neither did going in/out or rebooting the TiVo. Once I rebooted the PC everything cleared up, though.

Ok. Thats very different from what I've experienced sofar. I'll do some digging in the code.

The filename formats you have doesnt exactly match the patterns Galleon currently recognize. If Galleon cannot determine the date of the recording from the filename, then it defaults to the current date.

Wow. Reading this forum is always very helpful. I never even knew you could add folders to the directory to show the folders on the TiVo. Huh. Now you can also send date information, too. Awesome.

What exactly is the correct format to send date recorded information? I would love to add date information to the episode that corresponds to the season and episode number. For instace, if the episode is season two episode five, I would like to have the date be 2/5. I was doing a little experimenting, but can't seem to make it work.

Being a Mac user and how installation for us was a tad more difficult... and that my setup was metting my needs just fine, I've been sitting out of updates for a bit.

But I'd like to update now since we've passed the 2.0 mark.

Will 2.0.1 work on my Mac running 10.3.9?

Are we to the point yet where the other guy's "wrapper" program is being incorporated officially from Leon or is installing on Macs still a bit more difficult and a little bit of a hack?

[angel35]

I need help. When i try to download 2.0.1 I get this massage.NSIS error.
Isstaller you are tring to use is corrupted or incomplete. This could be the resuilt of a damaged disk or a failed download or a virus. What can i do???

[LatinPrince131]

Sorry I posted this question somewhere else before I saw this post...

My question is this:

I have the strangest problem I'm using the latest galleon build and I have galleon send files directly to my PC, problem is whenever Galleon transfers the files for me Windows Media Player or any other player I've tried tells me my key is incorrect...

I've checked the key in Galleon and my Tivo Desktop countless times and they are a perfect match. I'm scratching my head on this one and I'm asking someone else if they've had similar problems and or if there is a fix available, thanks!

PS: Manual Tivo transfers with Tivo Desktop work fine for me, using Tivo Desktop 2.2 and 7.2.1 on my Tivo.

Exact error I get says:
You are not authorized to play this recording. It was transfered using a different access key than the one in your Windows account.

Same here ... I would like to know what formats Galleon recognizes. I could not find anything about this on the new website.

That does explain why my recordings all show with the same date: I always take out the "recorded on mm/dd/yyyy" part of the filenames, and some of my GoBack files aren't even .tivo files. But I'm still not sure what is controlling the sorting, if it's not the episode number like 01x05, 01x06, etc. Should I be using S01E05 instead?

Here are the filename patterns that Galleon recognizes:
{Lost}{2005-11-16}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
which is interpreted as:
{SeriesTitle}{OriginalAirDate}{EpisodeTitle}{DateRecorded}{C allSign}

Lost - ''Collision'' (Recorded Nov 23, 2005, KGO).TiVo
which is interpreted as:
SeriesTitle [- ''EpisodeTitle''] (DateRecorded, CallSign)

The Twilight Zone - Dust (Recorded Sun Jan 1 2006 05 16AM SCIFI).TiVo
which is interpreted as:
SeriesTitle [- EpisodeTitle] (DateRecorded, CallSign)


The files for GoBack are sorted on either the original air date, recorded date or the file date depending on which is known.

The installation wizard wasnt completely downloaded. Try to download again.

The current Mac support is very generic and should work with any Unix type OS. There has been various issues with supporting the other wrappers so that is not included with Galleon.

I am still having trouble with this awesome feature. I have tried many different varients of this and here is what I have discovered.

I cut and pasted this:
{Lost}{2005-11-16}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
into one of my existing test files (a 1 minute clip) and while browsing the files on my PC, it shows:
The show title as: Lost
Date recorded: 11/16
Episode Title: No title displayed
Date Recorded - Program Detail: Wed 11/16 12:00 am 0 0

But when the file is transferred and on the TiVo, the date recorded changes to today's date and time.

Also changing the first set of dates in the file name like below changes the date recorded information and the second date is ignored. For instance,

{Lost}{2005-01-05}{The Other 48 Days}{10.00 PM Wed Nov 16, 2005}{KGO}.mpg
The show title as: Lost
Date recorded: 1/05
Episode Title: N/A
Date Recorded - Program Detail: Wed 1/05 12:00 am 0 0

Additionally, all of my .tivo files are listed with today's date as the date recorded even though I have never touched file since it was transferred off of the TiVo. The file format is intact as well as the date recorded information, which most are from last year, but all the .tivo files have today's date. I have rebooted the TiVo, just in case there was some sort of error, but it did not fix it.

Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.

I'm currently investigating a possible bug that might be causing some of the data not to be picked up by TiVo properly.
