TivoWebPlus testers

You are using a series 2 machine running Software System: 4.0.1b.2003.12.02-1731-01-2-240.

Thomsons current version of twp uses a version of sendkey for the remote module which is not compatible with software higher than 3.1.

So my last question. Is there any way to make the RemoteControl module working with this version of TWP ?

I don't know of any version of TW or TWP whose Web Remote module will work on Series 2 software. The problem is that there is no event handler or "sendkey" facility on this software. I know some people are looking into using routerplus to hopefully solve the problem.

Without an event hander or sendkey facility it's not going to be possible to get the Web Remote or Phone modules working on the Series 2 software.

I've got it working !

1.
I made some changes to the webremote.itcl module.
I replaced version checking code (at the end of the file) :

if {$::version <= 5} {
register_module "sendkey" "Web Remote" "A Web-based Remote Control for your TiVo"
}

2.
created "devbin" directory in the Tivo root. And placed "sendkey" file in there. Made sure that it is executable : chmod 755 sendkey

3.
Reload TWP.

It works great ! Thanks again for the help.

I attached "webremote.itcl" and "sendkey" file in case somebody would need them.

Mark.
