Running out of data port 8000

**cmptrgeezer** · 08-03-2006, 07:37 PM

Further to my earlier post, I have tried a GS against port 8000 on the emulator and it downloads fine but gets to 11% importing data and then fails.

This is pretty much the same situation as I had trying a daily call prior to running GS. Anyone out there had similar problems? Found a fix?

One knackered Tivo at present...

Just re-tried GS against port 80 to see what happens and now it fails to connect at all - Where to from here?

As a matter of interest, how does one tell whether they have a legacy setup or not? Does this refer to the hardware, the OS loaded or a combination of both?

Huh? I doubt there is a fix. Unless you have done a clear and delete eveything you will not be able to GS against 8000 with a legacy configuered tivo.

You need to move to port 80, if that still fails you'll need to clear out the previous headend data.

Following discussion with our ISP, they have placed proxy bypass for the emulator IP, and at the same time we have made some adjustments to our network. I'm not sure which of these (perhaps both) fixed the problem, but I can now get data on port 80 without requiring emuProxy (i.e. the call "succeeded").

Unfortunately things are still not 100%. Although under "Watch Live TV" accurate program detail is now displayed, nothing is to be found when searching for programmes. A reboot has not made any difference. Any further thoughts?

Sounds like your tivo needs to complete indexing.

It probably downloaded alot of data slices and will take some hours to sort itself out.

Do the usual 'touch /var/timestamp' then '/hack/bin/force_index.tcl'

and wait until morning...

I am clearing out everything and will try try GS again tomorrow - wife pissed off

I'll post a result once I've had another crack at it...

OK - looks like I might have a functioning Tivo again after clearing everything and running GS against port 8000 once more.

Question is - do I now need to to talk to the emulator on port 8000 or do I need to switch to port 80?

Thanks

Clearly stated in earlier posts. 80 and 8000 are incompatible. 80 is for legacy setups. 8000 is for new setups. You should stay on 8000.

Yes, it did download a huge amount of data when we finally got connected. The usual 3 - 4 hours was not enough, so I did have to wait until morning! All is well now, so thanks DJC and Wimble for all your help.
