my tweaks for gotomydvr service

To get a full screen, just right click on the frame, select frames> then click "show only this frame".

 

A little trouble getting it going with my humble way of doing things (I'm really un-savvy), but I finally switched the dbclient and it indeed dropped my CPU usage on the 540 from 85-90% down to 2-7%. One thing I notice though is that top now updates every three seconds or so and dbclient has a new PID every time.

But well done!

 

Don't know whether this is the correct place to post but here goes.

SVR2000. Have Turbo Net Card.

Telnet seems to work real good. But can't seem to properly install the gotomydvr application (whatever it is called)


Here is the error I got when I did this. It's a direct quotation off the Telnet session:

"TiVo: {/var/tmp} % /gotomydvr/bin/dbclient: TCP forward failed: Error listening:
Address already in use
/gotomydvr/bin/dbclient: Failed local port forward 7:127.0.0.1:7"

Anyone know how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Michael

 

I decided to give this version a try since the service was usually not running when I wanted to remote in. I get this error when it starts;

WARNING: Ignoring unknown argument '-y'

Any thoughts? S2 649DT OS 9.1

 

Thanks, I'll give it another try this evening but will run dos2unix on each file first

 

Hello everyone. My first post here. I'm trying to set up gotomydvr program and for some reason I can't write anything in the telnet box once connected. it won't allow me to type at all. I've tried another program called ttpro313 to try to write to my tivo with no luck. Please forgive me for being so dumb but I've been reading everything I can for the last 6 hours and haven't gotten any closer to making anything work.I'm so freaking confused.LOL


I have a series two dual tuner 80 hour tivo. It's hard wired to the network and I've used tivo desktop to pull videos from my tivo. What I'm hoping to accomplish is remotely accessing my tivo while on business trips. Is that possible or should I buy a sling box?

Please don't beat me down for this post. I'm going to apologize in advance if I've broken any rules.

Please help a brother out.LOL

 

Last two days my logs have been filled with these entries. Thoughts?

Host '68.178.174.173' key accepted unconditionally.
(fingerprint md5 7c:f1:17:0a:21:0f:7f:2f:90:3d:7d:08:4a:b7:9b:4d)
/gotomydvr/bin/dbclient: Warning: failed creating //.ssh: Read-only file system

No good, I got the same message except without the read only part.

I put the original dbclient back in and those messages stopped. I prefer just getting the -y error to having my logs full of those entries. The service works both ways it is just a matter of logging.

 

Now that worked, thanks...

 

SteveT,

Thanks for these contributions. I'm looking into things further and trying to integrate your changes, but so far have only had limited success. For some reason, I cannot automate the startup of dbclient with your script, but I can run it manually, but not in the background. I think it has something to do with id_rsa.db not being picked up by dbclient when it is run. Any thoughts on this?

 

Are you using something different? Care to share?
