Endpad not working?

[geoffo]

Hi all,

Looks as though endpad isn't working on my TiVo. Below is an extract from the enpad.log for some activity today. It seems to keep finding errors in the "rectype" variable until it gets too many then just shuts down. You'll notice I've changed the endpad to 30 minutes to take account of those annoying reality shows that consistantly run 20 minutes over. Don't know if this has caused the problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. My searches on the site and mailing list under "$rectype" have turned up nothing.

I get the same problem whether I'm recording or not and I'm using the current image.

Thanks

Is this a new install?

Did you have at least 2 shows in your todo list?

If not add a couple of shows then reboot.

Hi Pete,

Thanks for the reply. I hang my head in shame--forgot the reboot.

All OK now.Thanks again.

No problem,

Endpad will not restart once it has shutdown.

You need to either restart it manually via telnet or just reboot.

Peter.
