 |
|
Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble with the new subfolder versions? I have attached the only subfolder version I can get to work. I tried the suggestions by billdog | Quote: | 1st- I'm using windows xp and I setup shares in the config file with the configurator. It seems the configurator put forward slashes in the file paths.
for ex. "c:/myvids/niptuck/season1". Now this doesn't appear to be a problem on earlier builds of pyTivo but it is in the current version(at least for me). So I changed it to "c:\myvids\niptuck\season1" and all was well. So you might want to check that on all of your shares(if you are using windows ofcourse).
2nd- Check this http://pytivo.krkeegan.com/viewtopic.php?p=67#67 |
and they didn't seem to help.
I tried this with armoo's 1.4.08 subfolder version as well as krkeegan windows installer version but no luck. I can't see to go further than 1 page scrolling down and can't go more than one folder deep with the newer versions.
I can with the version I have attached but can't seem to use the new features with the more up-to-date versions. So anyway if anyone else is having the same types of trouble I have attached the most stable version I can find.

The one-page thing is a known bug that's fixed in newer versions. (I dunno about "one folder deep"...) Did you use KRKeegan's 1.0 installer, or 1.05? You need 1.05 for the fixes.
But my personal recommendation is: Click on the link in my sig; click on "subfolders-8.3" at the bottom of the page; and on the new page, click on the "snapshot" link nearest the top of the page. That gives you the latest .tar.gz of my branch + subfolders.

I tried this version and the scroll or page down is fine now however I still can't seem to go more than 1 folder deep and what is odd if I first choose one folder and then back out and go to any other folder the contents of the first folder always show up in no matter whatever folder I am in. Very strange.

I can't reproduce that here (in Linux... I'll try later in Windows).
And you don't have this problem with the version you posted?

That actually sounds like the non-subfolders version. (That's the exact issue the subfolders stuff addresses.) Are you sure you have the right one?
Edit: Oh, I forgot -- The newer subfolders versions require you to put "hack83 = True" in the "Server" section of your pyTivo.conf. Without that, it will revert to the non-subfolders behavior. I bet that's what you're seeing.

The version I posted allows me to go many levels deep on folders. I will try the hack83 suggestion. The version that I posted works well but I still get the odd reboot and can't exit a folder without going to NPL first and was hoping a newer version eliminated that plus the metadata feature sounds nice.

| Brilliant. That did it. Thanks! One other question I was wondering is what the advantage is of running pytivo as a service? But anyway thanks again.

And you can go down multiple levels now?

The advantage of running it as a service is that you don't have to log in, and it can stay running even as you switch users. (The disadvantage is that you can't watch the output.)
Now the way I prefer to use it, there's an advantage the opposite way: it doesn't have to run at startup. See, TiVo Desktop insists on running part of itself (the beacon) at startup, even when you explictly tell it not to. Yet at the same time, you have to log in (and as an Administrator, no less) to run the other part (the server). With pyTivo, I can run as an unprivileged user, and start and stop it any time I want.
So, for both always-on and stop-and-go usage patterns, pyTivo behaves better.

Yes at least six deep so far.
My main harddrive is partitioned and rather than having so many shares I just list the drive as a share i.e. M Drive and browse to whatever folder I want. I do this for other drives on the computer as well. Granted folders that contain other files I just ignore. I find that this doesn't clutter my NPL with lots of shares at the bottom.
Thanks for the explanation regarding running as a service.
