tivo remote access tool - pre BETA

That seems to be the case. I've tried from a lot of different connections, all of them hi-speed but never seem to complete those functions. The Tivo is on a 1.5m ADSL line. Thanks for the input...

 

I installed this manually on my Series 2 DirecTV Tivo (SD-DVR40) because http_get wouldn't work. But I keep getting the KNOWN_HOST error whenever I try to run it:

./rc.gotomydvr &
[1] 412
MTTivo-TiVo# Internal error #R
./rc.gotomydvr: .: filename argument required
.: usage: . filename
*** Empty KNOWN_HOST configuration ***

[1]+ Exit 1 ./rc.gotomydvr


Help!

I have tried to download both versions of the client and every time I get the message "timeout waiting for data." Are the servers still up? What could be the problem? Is there a way to just ftp the client files over manually?
Please advise. Thank you very much.

 

Thanks for the reply.
Yes, it's definitely connected to the Internet (pings Google just fine), and that is the page of instructions I used, plus I tried the ones on Post #433.
Any other ideas? FYI, I have an old HDVR2 that I just Zipped, and GTMDVR works just fine with that one.

 

I still have the known host problem. I've seen no solution for it. The code from rc.gotomydvr says:

if [ "$KNOWN_HOST" == "" ]; then
echo "*** Empty KNOWN_HOST configuration ***"
exit 1
else
mkdir -p /var/tmp/.ssh
echo $KNOWN_HOST > /var/tmp/.ssh/known_hosts
fi

But I don't know what a known host is or where it's supposed to get a known host from. This seems like it should be a really simple problem to fix.

Help!

Setup details:
Tivo Series 2 type 240 80hrs
connected to charter cable broadband using usb ethernet adapter and linksys router
TivoWebPlus 2.1 installed which is running on the box and can be reached using browser on local IP, port 8080

After installing gotomydvr client and registering my Tivo online, I cannot reach Tivowebplus using gotomydvr with breakdowns on both the client and server end:

when I type /gotomydvr/etc/rc.gotomydvr & in telnet, I get following reply:
/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

On the gotomydvr server side when I select the tivo I want to connect to, I get:
The requested URL /index.html was not found on this server.
Apache/2.0.52 (Red Hat) Server at gotomydvr.com Port 443

Any support and suggestions would be quite welcome, I have no idea how to fix this. Thans, Steve.

 

Hi,
I used to use gotomydvr without any problems, but after having it not running for a while I started it back up and can connect to my directivo and pass the authentication window, with "oztivo", it waits for a second then displays a blank page. My TivoWebPlus 2.1b3 works fine from my LAN. I reinstalled gotomydvr and TivoWebPlus, and even deleted the config files to make them regenerate for both TivoWebPlus (/var/TWP/config) and gotomydvr including the .ssh folder and gotomydvr_settings. I've spent all the time I have and cannot figure out why it doesn't work anymore. I also played around with my router, which is new, but nothing seemed to work and you're not supposed to need any special router settings anyway for gotomydvr.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,

Jim

Very interested in trying this - however the registration page will not accept the Service IDs for either of my TiVos. They are both Thomson Series 1 UK Standalone models

 

I see from another thread, in another forum, that you have managed to control your tivo over the internet, from a remote PC. May I ask what modifications to your router/tivo, you needed to make ?

 

I just installed Tivowebplus, changed the port to something unusual and set the router to send that port to the tivo. I have a number of them set up that way in my network. I use Dyndns to point the domain to my home. So, I open a browser and go to, as an example, http://mytivonetwork.homeip.net:9999 and presto.

You will probably want to set the password for tivowebplus so if somebody did manage to guess your domain AND port number, they would still have to get past the password to mess with yout tivo.


You can also use the method discussed in this thread.

 

Thanks Unclemoosh . I'll give that a try when (a) I've fathomed out how to set a tivoweb password and (b) found how to direct my router to tivo, with a change of port.As you can gather, I'm something of a novice in these matters but keen to learn.

 

Password is set in tivoweb.cfg. For the router, log into it and look for Port Forwarding. Read the manual for your router and it should tell you.

 

You might want to give gotomydvr a try if you have TWP running... https://gotomydvr.com/index.php

 

Registered my tivo and installed the software but each time I login, I get the message that tivo is disconnected.
It is a Uk series 1 machine, with turbonet card via homeplug. Everything works normally when I connect to tivoweb via my usual ip address.

I can't get gotomydvr to work on my TivoHD. I get the error *** No response from connection server *** when I start it up. I tried registering my Tivo on the site and get an error saying, "Please add a valid Service ID.". My service id is valid and I even copied and pasted if from the Tivo site just to make sure it isn't me typing it in wrong. No matter what I do it won't take my service id as valid...

 

Bumping because I'm still getting invalid service id error while registering my TivoHD. Anyone using gotomydvr on a TivoHD? I was curious if they updated the service to recognize a TivoHD service number.
