TivoWebPlus testers

For those that wish to have a look before making the plunge I have put together a demo of a system running the new software: http://thomson.tivo.googlepages.com/main.htm

I have loaded and run TWP 1.2.2 it looks good so far (I haven't tried all the features yet) but as I have SVR 2000 tivos would it be possible to have a Sony remote on the web remote page? ( the current NZ image has one on tivoweb)

Thanks

would it be possible to have a Sony remote on the web remote page?

The webremote module for TivoWeb uses images from the MFS database (in particular SonySMRemoteImage, and PhilipsDMRemoteImage). I can't speak for the Sony image, but the Philips remote was a fairly basic outline, and many of the newer model Tivo's had trouble with their images. It was decided (and implemented a couple of years back by Bushido and Falcontx) to provide an enhanced and more functional module that utilises a generic remote (HDVR2) containing all the required buttons for all TiVo versions.

If you (or the image creators) prefer the older method of pulling the image from the database then you can simply replace the /var/hack/TivoWebPlus/modules/webremote.itcl file with that found in TivoWeb - it will work without problems... in fact, all of the older modules should work without issues.
