    TiVoWebPlus 1.3.1 suggestions

    Use this thread for suggestions to improve TWP modules.

    At this point Thomson is the only one actively working on providing improvements locally, but can only do so as time and inclination allows.

    If you feel you can help, please speak up.

    Peter.

    I find the Channel Grid module very useful. But one feature missing is that
    it only uses 2 colours. Scheduled recordings and suggestions both share the
    same colour. Red for on that channel and Yellow for on another channel. It
    would be more useful if scheduled recording and suggestions could be split
    into 2 separate colours. Then you could see at a glance that recording
    shown on another channel are just suggestions, the same for recordings on
    the same channel.

    Let me know what you think,

    Peter.

Currently timeslots that are going to be recorded are marked with a
    (dashed) red border. Timeslots that contain recordings on other channels are marked with a (dashed) yellow border, and timeslots that contain two recordings (via a dual tuner) on different channels with a solid yellow border.
    Thanks, any differentiation would be great.

    My whole house IR repeater system died the other day. So I now use the WebRemote feature of TWP a lot to control the TiVo's from a different room.

    I'm not a huge fan of the 30 sec skip feature, so I use just use 3 x FFW. But doing so using the Web Remote can be a pain.

    Would it be possible to add a single click field which sends 3 FFW commands?

    Ability to stream/copy from one TiVo to another

    One thing that would be great to see in TWP is the ability to select a show and have it copy to/play on another TiVo.

    I've got multiple TiVo's and it's a hassle going through each one seeing what I haven't watched, and then watching it. If I could just copy the file when I found it, it would be waiting on the main TiVo for whenever I got around to watching it.

    As an interim fix the latest distribution has support for a fastfwd (f) and fastrwd (r) keypress within the webremote module.

    I have a very minor problem invoking these (and other) keyboard commands. When I click and load 'Web Remote' in TWP (20070329 dist) it loads the URL
    http://TIVO.IP/sendkey
    (note: no trailing '/').

    Then, when I type 'f', it tries to load:
    http://TIVO.IP/forward,forward,forward
    which gives the 'Not Found [ha ha]' error.

    If I manually add the '/' <enter> in the URL, then type 'f', I get the seemingly correct:
    http://TIVO.IP/sendkey/forward,forward,forward
    ie. I don't get the 'Not Found' error (but haven't looked at TV to see if it has desired effect...)

    Note that Web Remote all looks good and clicking on buttons all works well. If I first click a button and then type 'f', that also seems to work. Problem only exists when 'f' (or any other keyboard key press) is typed immediately after loading Web Remote page.

    Am I doing anything wrong?

    I am not sure what would be removing the trailing '/' ? Are you able to let me know what browser you are using, and what exactly the steps are you take to replicate the issue (eg, start browser, go to TWP and click on "Web Remote")

    I use Firefox. Steps are:
    1. Open New Tab
    2. type TIVO.IP into URL
    3. click on "Web Remote" at top menu - URL is http://TIVO.IP/sendkey (no trailing '/')
    4. type 'f' - URL is http://TIVO.IP/forward,forward,forward -> haha error

    Note that if I click on a web remote button, (e.g. forward >>) after step 3 above, then this works OK. After doinf this, typing 'f' then also works OK. So error only occurs when 'f' is the first thing done after the 'Web Remote' top menu item is clicked.

    This already exists in Sync Now Playing where you can start transfers from one TiVo to the other using the TiVo GUI.

    If you did the same with TWP it would make TWP non responsive during the transfer. The same as the existing extract module does.
