RecordPast - Make a Season Pass from recordings in now playing
RecordPast - Make a Season Pass from recordings in now playing
Watched a recording and decided you want to make a season pass?
Normally you'd have to either
a) find a future showing in the livetv guide listing
b) type the programme name in the pick programmes to record menu.
Now you can simply press record on the programme description screen in now-playing,
and a season pass will be automatically created for you.
 
Installation:
Requires MWSTATE bug fixed: - run fixmwstate.tcl and reboot if you haven't already done so.
copy newtext2osd to /var/hack/bin
run as /var/hack/recordpast.tcl
# Version 1.4 : More duplicate checking

Yes! Excellent hack. Always thought this would be a great idea. Will give it a go sometime 
ETA:
When I try to run it, I get this...
bash: /var/hack/recordpast.tcl: No such file or directory
Yes, the program is there when I do an 'ls', so what's wrong?
I don't "do" linux

Did you use binary mode when you ftp'd the script over onto tivo ?

Thought I'd try this today for the first time. It worked. So well, in fact that it created two Unfortunately, I don't have another single programme to try it on.
So, possibe bug or just a glitch?

..bit of a bug that one, better duplicate checking now in v1.4 
Note the Season Passes this generates are always put at the bottom of the priority list,
and of course are attached to the single channel the programme was recorded on.
I might add a Title Wishlist option later on (so it can record across channels). |

Had a try with your module and it worked ok. Except that it appears to have stopped Tivo making its daily call via the network!
With your module active, daily call fails and reverts to dialup; disable it and network is fine...

Cool hack. Hopefully if you add the wishlist functionality you'll go a better job of it than TiVo did in their (US only?) TiVo Search (beta) 
- They don't filter the autogenerated wishlists for 'illegal' characters in the show title, ones that are ignored or handled by alternates in the wishlist search engine. (Like punctuation, non-english characters; basically anything that isn't alphanumberic or a space). So they sometimes create wishlists for you that just don't work.

If you're putting it in rc.sysinit.author to start on bootup,
you have to background it (as with all hacks):
/var/hack/recordpast.tcl >/dev/null &
that last "&" is important, forgetting it might cause the dily call to fail.
Never known it swap network<->dialup though!

What an excellent idea - I have wanted this feature a number of times and usually resort to the title wishlist... There really is nothing like a drive failure to get me to go through these forums and find more interesting improvements. Thanks!

Always thought this was one of the few holes in the TiVo interface design; nice job.
MCE handles it quite well, with a list of upcoming editions on the programme info page.
