    no 5m pre ot 15m post record on shows

    Hey Pete, John & Darren,

    I manually deleted all my settings the other night on one of my Tivos and re did the guided setup etc to start again.

    Now all is good but for one thing. When recording it will not record 5mins before and 15 mins after etc. It will only record for the specified time for the show no matter if there if nothing to record either side of it.

    Do you know what I have to do to get this back working?

    I assume its quite easy and have searched for the answer but cant seem to find it and any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks

    Craig

    check the endpad.log for the reason why it is not running properly.

    You could also try:

    ps ax | grep endpad*

    To see if it's running at all.

    When I try

    ps ax | grep endpad*

    it comes back with:

    284 p0 SW 0:00 grep endpad*

    Sorry but I have no idea on what that means. Any ideas?

    It means that endpad is not running.

    Did you change rc.sysinit.author ?

    How about the logs ?

    endpag log is:

    Friday 00:26:00 : EndPadPlus log file, log rotated
    Friday 00:26:00 : Back to sleep...
    Friday 00:26:00 : Checking every minute for kill signal...............................
    Friday 00:56:00 :
    Friday 00:56:00 : Rise and shine!
    Friday 00:56:00 : Processing current recording(s):
    Friday 00:56:00 : * No recordings in progress
    Friday 00:56:00 : Processing next recording(s):
    Friday 00:56:00 : * No scheduled recordings found
    Friday 00:56:00 : Next wake up will be 01:26
    Friday 00:56:00 : Back to sleep...
    Friday 00:56:00 : Checking every minute for kill signal......

    That time around midnight on Friday night was when I deleted all guide data and redid the guided setup etc again


    Nope, didn't touch rc.sysinit.author at all.

    Well, for some reason endpad has not restarted since you played with the TiVo.

    Make sure you have at least 2 programs in your todo list and restart the TiVo.

    Pete,

    I have about 20 programs in the todo list at any given time and actually rebooted the tivo 2 hours ago. Since then it did record a 30 min show and it still has the problem.

    Very strange indeed

    try:

    ps ax

    This will list all processes. Then we can check if there are any others that are missing. This may point to an error loading rc.sysinit.author

    Peter.

    PS you do have endpad started by rc.sysinit.author

    All if I have referring to endpad in rc.sysinit.author is the following:

    # EndPad
    # If you want to edit the start and end, do so in /hack/bin/runendpad.sh
    /hack/bin/endpadplus.tcl 5 15 -auto


    I don't have runendpad.sh showing in the /hack/bin folder.

    I do have:
    endpadplus.README
    endpadplus.tcl
    endpadplus.CHANGELOG


    I have manually started endpadplus and will report back here to if it works but I don't know why it won't start automatically.

    Pete,

    I started it manually by typing:

    /hack/bin/endpadplus.tcl 5 15 -auto

    and it worked with the next recording.

    I wonder why its not starting up on boot up as I have not changed the rc.sysinit.author file in any shape or form since installing TivoWebPlus some weeks ago and it has working since then after many reboots until my reguided setup. If I reboot it wont work until I manually start it up again so there must be something going on which I have no idea on.

    These are the contents of that file:

    Code:
    #### START HACKS ####
    
    export MY_SERVER=10.0.0.1
    export NFS_SERVER=$MY_SERVER
    export SMB_SERVER=$MY_SERVER
    #export TIME_SERVER=$MY_SERVER
    
    # Use extra libs (termcap, etc)
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/hack/lib
    
    #### Mount Network Shares #######
    
    # mount NFS shares (if you have them) Change the NFS_SERVER variable above to the ip of box with share
    #insmod -f /lib/modules/nfs.o
    #mount -t nfs -o rsize=8192,wsize=8192 ${NFS_SERVER}:/home/tivo /hack/nfs
    
    # Mount shares on your windows boxen.
    # This doesn't work too well.
    # insmod -f /lib/modules/smbfs.o
    # smbmount //${SMB_SERVER}/SHARE /hack/smb -s putrename -c tivo -I x.x.x.x -U user -D WORKGROUP -P password
    
    #### Start Programs ######
    
    # CCXSTREAM - stream to XBOX
    # google for ccxstream or search forums at xboxmediacenter.de
    #ccxstream &
    
    # CRON # Edit /hack/etc/crontab 
    cron &
    
    #Start FTP daemon
    # this is ADH's (from Deal Database) version that saves you from chmod +x
    # 
    tivoftpd &
    
    # Start TiVoWeb
       # /hack/tivoweb-tcl/tivoweb &
       
       # Start TivoWebPlus
       /hack/TivoWebPlus/tivoweb &
    
    # Vserver - Stream ty files on port 8074 see tivo-mplayer.sf.net
    #vserver > /dev/null 2>&1 &
    
    # EndPad
    # If you want to edit the start and end, do so in /hack/bin/runendpad.sh
    /hack/bin/endpadplus.tcl 5 15 -auto
    
    ##### Various Other Hacks #######
    
    # Tweak HDD settings
    # Don't worry if you don't have a two drive TiVo. It will work for 1 drive setups too.
    # make certain runideturbo=false is in boot params, or rename
    # the file /lib/modules/ideturbo.o to something else so it doesn't load.
    hdparm -c1 -m8 -M1 -S0 /dev/hda /dev/hdb
    hdparm -m16 /dev/hda /dev/hdb
    
    # Copy Module
    # copies anything written to /var/packages to /tmp 
    # very useful for capturing tivo slices.
    #insmod -f /lib/modules/copy.o
    
    # Emu Proxy
    # A tool for cleaning up the HTTP output by the Tivo in order to pass through
    # transparent proxies, etc.
    # Works in conjunction with a small hack to the emulator to accept the header
    # "TivoURLBase" which is the base url to give back to the Tivo when specifying
    # data paths.
    # Runs by default and is dependent on the
    # 127::127.0.0.1:8000:::
    # entry in tclient.conf
    # IF YOU COMMENT THIS OUT SO IT DOESN'T RUN, YOU MUST EDIT THE "127" entry 
    # in /etc/tclient.conf to reflect the IP and port of the emulator you are using
    # There is a backup of the original here: /etc/tclient.conf-oztivo
    # Usage: %s [-d] [-h] [-l localport] [-L listenAddr] [-s serverip]
    #   [-p serverport]
    emuProxy2 -s 131.244.9.101 &
    
    # Report IP - Handy for those not using DHCP-DNS functionality
    # set dhcp hostname in /etc/dhclient.conf
    # See http://www.isc.org/ for more info on DHCP and BIND
    report_ipaddress &
    
    # Trickey by Kevin Lentin provides a way to force tivo to 
    # run commands by assign remote key sequences. Very Cool!
    # check out /hack/bin/trickey.README
