Moving from NZ legacy to current emulator

**DJC** · 07-08-2006, 07:30 PM

I'm keen to see a sucessful test and document of the procedure for moving from the NZ legacy port 80 emulator, to the current port 8000 emulator.

As such we need a volunteer who is running on the legacy system to try it out the move, work the issues and post results.

Previously the logo slice on the new system has been a problem, but Warren from the Oz team has written a small tcl script that resets/removes logos. He reports success, but we haven't tried it on the NZ system.

Any takers?

This is probably not at all helpful, but recently I suffered a major death of the mfs system, so my TiVo just had a rebuild. It was quite painless - thanks to thomson, and now - since I lost everything anyway - I'm back on the dev emulator

Heh, ok thats one way, any others.. :P

Futher to DJC's post please document your procedure on the nztivo.net wiki...

I'm currently on 210.48.107.133:80 (the Legacy emulator).
I'll do the clear and delete everything test to move to the other emulator - 210.48.107.133:8000.

But first I'm (currenlty) FTP'ing off the kid's and wife's programmes - so I don't get myself in too much trouble.

I'll do the documentation also.

Where would you like that done? Under Topics or FAQ? ... or...

Let me know if you need another victim to test the delete logo script with a legacy system on :80

Cheers

Under Topics would be the place, named something appropriate.
Thanks

does this have an effect on my IR codes?

took me ages to get my IR codes going (motorola)

A few months back when we had problems with Ed's emulator I got away with changing to the port 8000 emulator, grabbing the logo slice, then switching to port 80, which at the time was the active port, all without doing a clear and delete.
Just tried switching to port 8000 again, partly to get the MTV station listing and logo, partly to test the process, didn't do a clear and delete, got 'failed call' not surprising really! Switched back to port 80 again and all seems ok. Can't see when I'll be allowed to do a clear and delete this side of a HDD failure! Sons tivo has much less on it, so might have a go on that one.

Tony sounds like you are in the configuration that we are trying to test moving from legacy to 8000. Except that you say you have logos from the 8000 emulator? Have you modified the logos by hand since?

Warren from oztivo has written script to remove all logos from a tivo, the tests that woudl be good to run are.

1. Remove logos from tivo, try 8000.

2. I'll remove the IR slice from the hidden dev emulator and you try to move to that (its a basically a copy of the main 8000 emulator we use for testing)

This will tell us where the problems lie and give some definitive answers to the community as to what we can and can't do in terms of switching. I guess if it goes west I'll have a look at manually editing the old headends.
