Can I get a copy of the results of your manual command?

You can do this in 2 ways: If you know how to use WGET, enter the manual command and direct the results to a file. If not, just copy the results from the browser and paste them into a text file using a text editor.

I'm not sure how to do this from an iPad. But a PC or Mac should be simple.

If you don't want to post the data to the forum, you can send me a PM and I will give you my email address.

Here it is ....

[DeltaMikeCharlie]

Found it! Some bad control characters are still getting through. I will fix it in the next release. Thanks for your help.

[DeltaMikeCharlie]

Unfortunately, this should be working because I have already "fixed" it. Because I did not have an INF to test with, I had to generate my own sample. Obviously, that was not good enough.

Are you able to post a copy of "Abkassiert und weiter so.rec.inf" and "Aktuelle Stunde - Das Informationsmagazin fuer NRW-2.rec.inf"?

After work you get it from me.

Today I had a little time to test A022, my feedback:

- Channel list is empty (since A018) => loading symbol for 9 seconds
- Get no Records => loading symbol for 8 seconds
- Demo does not work here (all versions) => loading symbol for 50 seconds
- the log file is very big (23,7 MB)
+ the Timer list works

The browser loaded for xx seconds (rotating circle) but the list(s) are empty.
.

Edit1: Now the toppy does not react of any key of the remote control.
(also the VFD display stops scrolling and the clock of SmartEPG stands still)

Edit2: 30 minutes later the toppy reacts of the remote control keys (it was still on and I made no reboot while this time)
Edit3: tried TMA again (2 commands) and now it does not react on the RC keys again
Edit4: 25 minutes later the toppy reacts of the RC keys again.

Today I had a little time to test A022

me too :
I had no issues with the A-022
The timeout, you set in the demo, was too short. I commented it out, then it worked.

Now the toppy does not react of any key of the remote control.

I have the same behavior (also with A-014). I am not sure, but maybe this only happens, if the telnet TAP is running.

30 minutes later the toppy reacts of the remote control keys (it was still on and I made no reboot while this time)

oh, I have never waited so long
The only thing that worked, was the off-Button on the remote, resulting in a file-check at the next start.

I have the same behavior (also with A-014). I am not sure, but maybe this only happens, if the telnet TAP is running.

Beside TMA runs 12 other TAPs, but the telnet TAP was not running today on my toppy.

[jkIT]

ok, I discard this theory

[DeltaMikeCharlie]

I have uploaded version A-023 to play with.

• The most notable change is that jkIT has added channels and timers to the Demo. The date/time format for the timers can be customised in the language file.
• In index.html, I have added some debug code that will report the number of bytes returned and also the error message if the JSON data is invalid.
• I have also added the ability to rename and delete recording files using the API. There is no public test for this at the moment, but there is code in index.html that I used to test with.

@Mucki

Thanks for the INF files. Unfortunately, they worked perfectly on my system. Either I asked for the wrong files, or there is a big difference in our system firmware causing this problem. I'm sure that it is the character set / control code problem, I just can't seem to find it.

The next test would be very big, and I understand if you choose not to do it. But . . . . You could move all of your recordings into a subdirectory and then move them back one by one until you get failure on TMA1. Then post the INF for the last recording that you moved back (the one that caused the failure).

@Sirius

I have removed all of the heavy logging. I have also added another "escape" function to the channels listing. I hope that this helps. I also added the debugging messages to index.html as described above.

@jkIT & @Sirius

I also get freezing, but only after I compile a new version and then unload/reload the TAP a number of times. If I load once and then test, TMA1 runs fine for hours, no freezing, remote works OK, all as it should be. You will notice that at the telnet console, the "Alive" messages stop during a freeze. This means that the PVR firmware has stopped sending TAP_EventHandler() events to TMA1, basically, the PVR stops talking to me! I don't know why this happens. This is why I recommend power-cycling after each test.

Finally, I am going on holidays for about a week from tomorrow. I will have limited internet access over that time and I may be able to answer some questions, but I will not be able to deliver version updates.

[Isarwolf]

I have uploaded version A-023 to play with.

It works well, also the Demo Version.

Thanks. I wish you nice holydays.

[xyzzyx]

I do not want to test the TAP out right now.
But it sounds interesting.
Could anybody attach some screenshots, please?

[Sirius]

A023 - The Channel list works now.

Records and Demo seems to be not working here on the first quick test - but I had only 15 Minutes for testing, more this evening.

[DeltaMikeCharlie]

[quote="xyzzyx"]Could anybody attach some screenshots, please?[/quote]

There is nothing to see on the PVR, and the web page is a work-in-progress.

Here are 2 examples of the channels listing, as you can see, they contain the same information, but look very different. With the right HTML/CSS/JavaScript, you can do whatever you want.

[DeltaMikeCharlie]

[quote="Sirius"]A023 - The Channel list works now.[/quote]
Progress at last!

Perhaps you could try the same test that I suggested to Mucki to see which recording is responsible. Do you see an error message on the standard web page for the recording listing?

[Mucki]

A023 - The Channel list works

Yes, this is correct ! also on the Demo !
The Demosite looks very good !!

[Isarwolf]

Demo Version

I just see that the weekday does not correspond with the date.

That Means "So. 21.09 17:12" must be Sa. Is wrong at all dates.

In this moment i can only change channels but I cannot start records.

Ja, mit dem Datum hast du recht. Ich kann in der Demo alle Files, Unterverzeichnisse und die externe Platte sehen.
Auch das starten aus den Unterverzeichnissen klappt einwandfrei.

I will need to refer to the author of the demo for this one. I suspect that the date function and the date array have different starting points.

The date array in the language file starts at Monday (ISO 8601). I suspect that the JavaScript date function uses Sunday as the first day of the week (normally US).

It would be easier to change the order in the language file I think.

[Sirius]

I don't know why - but now the demo works!
First time that I can see the demo (Records work also in the demo) - looks great!

But in the normal mode the Records are still not shown.
The error message is:

Listing recorded programmes

Deutsch: No records found. 0 bytes returned. Error: SyntaxError: JSON Parse error: Unexpected EOF.
