Convert season passes to title wishlists

Nice I shall be using that when I've put in a new 1TB drive to change all the SPs to Best. Thank you.

 

Superb idea - thank you.

 

Cool

I spelt telnet wrong first time but otherwise only took a few seconds to install

Automan.

 

Works well for me

 

second one - it was time for a clean out anyway. I've got all the old ones backed up just in case.

 

BTW, don't Season Passes also look on the +1 channel? I think if I set up Season Passes for programmes X & Y, the TiVo will add the first showings (assuming no clashes) to the ToDo lists. However, if I then subsequently add a programme Z season pass that overlaps with say programme Y, TiVo will automatically switch to recording programme Y from the +1 channel.

i.e. I don't think Wishlists are needed to cope with this particular situation. Am I correct, or are there certain situations where the TiVo won't reschedule its recording to the +1 channel on discovering a conflict?

 

Right, OK - as you say, I had noticed that if you go into "View episodes" it shows +0 and +1 episodes and only has Season Pass/to be recorded ticks against certain viewings, but for some reason I had assumed that was because it was being smart and only showing ticks against the +0 or +1 channels depending on what the conflict resolution code had currently decided it was going to record.

Now I think about it, perhaps I have always been aware of how it works, but the fact that "View episodes" makes it easy to switch a Season Pass onto the alternative +0/+1 channel has I guess made it feel like it was being smart even though it has required intervention from me.

So, I wonder:

1) Is it possible to set up a Season Pass on each of the +0 and +1 channels, and if so, is TiVo still smart enough not to record both showings?

2) If it is not possible to set up a Season Pass on each of the +0 and +1 channels at the same time, does TiVo automatically cancel the +0 Season Pass if you subsequently request a Season Pass on a +1 channel showing?

 

Thanks for this script Mike. Much appreciated.

Just one caveat - I installed this script but in my Season Pass menu, I didn't get 'SP->Wishlist conversion' option, only the option to change the recording quality of my SPs.

I realised that I also had vseasonpassquality.itcl installed, and once I had renamed it, the conversion option became available.

I noticed also that the new wishlists have been set to 'Repeats & FR' and doesn't retain what the SP was set to. Is there a reason for this?

 

Isn't that install script wonderful

Thanks for the work on this - it'll be invaluable in a week or two

 

Probably stupid question, but, I've got TivoWebPlus v1.3.1 which looks very different from the screenshot. Is this module ok to use with this version?

Cheers,

Matt

 

ditto.

there's another little niggle - it'll create duplicate Title wishlist entries, if you happen to have more than one Season pass for the same programme title (it's happened to me, when Tribune started new numbers for existing programmes as they've done a few times.)

Oh, and it breaks if you have a Manual recording in your Todo list. I suggest removing any of those, first.

 

Have downloaded the zip and ftp over to tivo but the module isn't showing in the menu. I guess it is because in the itcl file, the register_module line has been commented out?


dbobj $sp set Priority [expr [mfs scancount $seasonpassdir] + 1]
set fsid [dbobj $sp fsid]

event send $TmkEvent::EVT_DATA_CHANGED $TmkDataChanged::SEASON_PASS $fsd
}
#register_module "seasonpass" "Season Pass" "Edit season passes"

 

Excellent news as losing the current First Run and Keep At Most settings would destroy the main value of converting Season Passes to Wishlists automatically for many of us.

Only 9 days left to go until June 2nd and the final moment of truth!

 

Tried updating mine with the install script

It says

Which I installed yesterday

How do I know which one I have (there's no comment inside the script with the version number.....)
