Hey guys,
Finished zippering my Tivo last night, and so far have been very impressed. I've been able to get some of the really cool "taboo" things of this board to work very easily, but still have several questions about TivoWebPlus after doing a bit of searching and coming up empty... I don't really need full fledge instructions, just a point in the right direction:
1). I've been able to access the TivoWebPlus from my web-browser, but didn't see anywhere to transfer videos to watch to the Tivo. How do I do this?
2). My local channels seem to not show up in TWP from my browser, but they show up on my Tivo. Any ideas why?
2). Vaguely remember reading somewhere about a "virtual" Tivo remote that allows you to interact with the Tivo from the web. I'm wanting to even say that it actually looked like the Tivo remote and you interacted with it directly. Is there such a thing, or am is this all in my head? If this is indeed real, where do I get it?
3). I don't have a static IP address, but would like to access TivoWebPlus without using VPN. I do occasionally use VPN, and to combat the lack of a staic IP, I use free redirection service at www.no-ip.com. This program runs as a service in the background in XP and keeps up with your current IP address so that you can VPN to your home box. Is there another way to access TivoWebPlus remotely other than through VPN?
4). As you can see, TivoWebPlus seems very intriguing to me, but grasping the "fullness" of it seems elusive to me for some reason. I need a good, full explanation of what I can do with TivoWebPlus. Anyone know of such a guide or care to expound?
Seems like I've had many more questions in my head than this, but this is all I can think of for the moment. Surely I'll be back if I think of some more...
Thanks!!
Edit: Just noticed that when trying to acces my Now Showing under the User Interface in TWP, I get the following error:
INTERNAL SERVER ERROR
--cut here--
action_nowshowing '' ''
can't read "nowshowingdir": no such variable
while executing
"ForeachMfsFileTrans fsid name type $nowshowingdir "" 15 {
set rec [db $db openid $fsid]
if {$nstype == 6} {
print_nowshowingrow $chan $r..."
(procedure "::action_nowshowing" line 61)
invoked from within
"::action_$action $chan $part $env"
("eval" body line 1)
invoked from within
"eval {::action_$action $chan $part $env}"
--cut here--
I also get similar errors when trying to search for programs. Any ideas?
