g,day peter

sorry to take so long.hope this is all right.it all seemed to work ok.

cheers jon

[petestrash]

the problem seems to be from this line

May 14 08:36:32 (none) comm[149]: CommUtil: connection to host 127.0.0.1, port 8000, err 0x50005

For it to be sucessful it should show 'err 0x0' not 'err 0x5005'.

So it seem that there is an error either with emuproxy2 running on the TiVo or just a proxy error with your ISP.

The only suggestion I have is to update emuproxy to a newer version like emuProxy3.tar &
emuProxyZA.gz

I don't have any other suggestions for you at this stage, maybe someone else might jump in.

But I will keep it in mind, in case I think of something.

Hi everyone

I have a fue more questions that are confusing me.

1) I am having major trouble trying to update emuproxy is there any instructions avalible for biginners the ones I have found dont have enough detail and I am at a loss at were to start.

2) I have installed the latest image,dose this not have emuproxy 3 installed.If so should I install emuproxyza

3)I did the tests to see whether my isp is transperant(by Tim Kleingeld)and it seemed to fail(iinet)so i checked my mates(big pond)and it failed too.should emuproxy3 or emuproxyza fix this

4)I have a thompson (uk) tivo and was wondering whether this needs to be done as well....The scartctl.tcl command needs to be placed in the background by appending an & to the line found near the bottom of the /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit script. Without this all the stuff in rc.sysinit.author never gets started... things such as the emuProxy2, FTP, cron, TivoWeb, etc ...or is this no longer problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

As far as I am aware this is still a problem in the current image.

Does TiVoWeb work for you?

If not then emuproxy2 is also probably not working.

You can check this by typing ps ax | grep emu in a telnet session

This should show you two lines:

[TiVo [p0] ~]# ps ax | grep emu
  141  ?  SW   0:00 emuProxy2 -s 131.244.9.101
  390  p0 RW   0:00 grep emu

If you don't get the first line then emuproxy2 is not running.

EG

[TiVo [p0] ~]# ps ax | grep emu
  382  p0 RW   0:00 grep emu

Hi Peter

Tivoweb is not working

I got the following results;

[TiVo [p0] ~]# ps ax | grep emu
164 p0 SW 0:00 grep emu
[TiVo [p0] ~]#


so emuproxy2 is not running

I have read the instructions on how to correct this but am still not shore how to do it..can you point me in the right direction

[petestrash]

on the TiVo do the following:

rw
cd /etc/rc.d
cp rc.sysinit rc.sysinit.old
joe rc.sysinit

Scroll down to about row 892 at the very end of the file and you should see.

# Check to see if this is UK tivo, and if so, enable scart
  if [ $videoconfig = 7 ]; then
    echo "UK box, enable SCART"
        scarttcl.tcl

Then scroll to the end of scarttcl.tcl and add a space and & so it looks like below.

# Check to see if this is UK tivo, and if so, enable scart
  if [ $videoconfig = 7 ]; then
    echo "UK box, enable SCART"
        scarttcl.tcl &

Then hold CTRL, press k then x to save the file. Type ro to make the file system read only again.

When your ready type reboot to restart the TiVo and hopefully allow rc.sysinit.author to run.
