Using Smart EPG on Australian Model TMS

[keith_leitch]

I am now even more confused.

I successfully connected TAPToDate, and downloaded several TAPs, by switching my connection type to DHCP. However, I have now lost FTP access.

I have tried it on DHCP, tried my original settings, and tried switching to several different Public DNS. Nothing reconnects my FTP, which I really need. Any suggestions?

[keith_leitch]

Oh, word...what a senior's moment. I didn't notice for hours that the servers had switched to "Disabled." All is well, now.

taptodate too??

Yes, TAPToDate, too, thanks. I just pointed to my router as DNS, and let it decide from there. Once that was done, I was confused mostly because the servers switched to "disabled" without me noticing.

I even downloaded Moviecutter and tried it out. It is very nice. It cuts off the first few seconds of sound from some of the sections I keep, but is still a great tool.

[keith_leitch]

Actually, I need some help with Moviecutter. Can I ask questions here? Basically, I cannot use the output with most video players on a PC, nor write it to DVD.

I've copied to the MovieCutter thread as the author might not read this one.

Is there a way to configure SE (v 6.2) to have a solid background for channel list, especially Grid, instead of the live TV from the active channel? Just like justEPG has?

[FireBird]

There is no such configuration in SE, you need to change it globally in the Toppy’s menu (Settings – OSD – OSD Transparency).

Hi to all

I have retired my TF5000PVRt ( using pbk TAP amongst others ) and purchased a TRF-7260 Plus. I am running Smart EPG which i really love but ......

I cant get the search button ( ie the red button ) to work from the EPG. I have to manually type in all my searches. I have searched extensively but cant seem to work out what is wrong.

Any clues

Thx

Tex

There seem to be two different 7260 models around (one with a plus and one without) and they have different key codes for the red button. Do you know which RCU you’re using? The TP602 or the one for the TBF-100HD?

You can have a look here for your RCU:

If one is watching a recorded file and the daily scan countdown begins, is there anyway that SE can return to the recorded file list so that playback can be restarted from the point where the playback stopped, rather than going back to live TV?

Cheers

[FireBird]

Currently not. And such a feature might introduce more problems: what about the SmartFiler or TMSArchive users? Are they always using the file list key to show the list or is it configurable? Then it would be impossible for SE to show the expected list.

[Referee]

TMS Archive is configurable. I think that SF is as well.

Hello. I would like to use the SE infobox, but it does not display the LCN when changing channels; instead, it displays the sequential number assigned to the station by SE. This confuses my wife. Is there any way to change settings so that the LCN is displayed here, as it is in most other places?

Just today, SmartEPG_TMS has started rebooting my Topfield 7160+ every two minutes or so.

I didn't even suspect it at first because it has served me so reliably for so long. Now, though, if I start up without any TAPS, the system stays on; as soon as I start SE it reboots. If I start up with all my TAPs running, and quickly disable SE, this also avoids the rebooting. There can be no doubt about what is causing the problem.

I had not updated SE for at least three weeks, and I am sure that I used a version with a 6 in it; oddly, though, the version I have installed reports as 5.3. I went to TAPtoDate, which listed it in the main list (not the updates), and reinstalled version 6.2b. Sadly, it still reboots the Toppy (and still reports as version 5.3).

Needless to say, I can't live without SmartEPG, so I sure hope that somebody can help.

[FireBird]

If SE reports itself as V5.3, the update has gone wrong. As you're using TAPtoDate, chances are high that there is more than one SmartEPG_TMS.tap file on your Toppy. Please use ftp to find and eliminate it and then update again.

[keith_leitch]

UPDATE: I'm not sure if this matters, but I thought I would add that I saved the program filename, and tried installing again. I expected a new installation to appear, but it did not.

Thanks for the reply. Are you suggesting that I delete all the program files, including the active one, and update again? I would certainly prefer not to lose my settings, if possible.

[keith_leitch]

OK, I went ahead and did this. The new installation reported correctly as version 6.2b, but it still reboots my Toppy over and over when it loads. I am now using SmartEPG_Restore to backtrack through previous versions of settings, but so far without luck. As I said, the problem only developed last night, so I can't see this succeeding.
