Almost there

Hey this software looks great, thanks for creating it. I am, however,
having a little difficulty getting started. I downloaded and unzipped
ok. I did the java -jar start.jar and the app gets up to a line that
says:

at tivopod.GrabberTask.grabContent(GrabberTask.java:221)
at tivopod.GrabberTask.run(GrabberTask.java:144)
at java.util.TimerThread.mainLoop(Unknown Source)
at java.util.TimerThread.run(Unknown Source)

That looks good to me. Then I goto //localhost:8080/ and select the
config tab. I've set the IP address and the Mediakey and saved those
settings. I try to enter http://localhost:8080/podcast into iTunes
and I get nothing. I entered it in happyfish and it finds it but
there is no content. I changed the update frequency to "1". It seems
like everything is working fine but it's either not finding the tivo
or its not updating the catalog for some reason. I've check the "WEB-
INF\tivopod-content" and its empty.

I'm running xp and I have a series1 tivo with a hardwired ethernet
connection to my netgear router. I can telnet, http, and ftp into my
Tivo.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

thanks, Dan

This snippet looks to be an error pulling the "now playing" list from
the TiVo (it is running into issues at line 221 of GrabberTask, which
is where it attempts to download the now playing list):

I'm assuming the Series 1 works pretty much the same as what I have (a
Series 2); when you log in via HTTP normally (i.e. through web
browser) do you log in as user "tivo" with the media access key as the
password?

One thing to test is to point your web browser at:

https://yourtivoaddress/TiVoConnect?Command=QueryContainer&Container=%2FNowPlaying&Recurse=Yes

(substituting "yourtivoaddress" with the appropriate IP address
obviously). You should get a certificate warning which you can "OK";
then you should get promted to log in. The username would be "tivo",
and the password would be your Media Access Key. Hopefully you see a
screen full of XML and not some strange errors ;)

Hey,

Series1 doesn't reply to that link. My neighbor has a series2 on my
network adn it replys to that link so I'll give it a try with that. I
hate to have to give up my series1 with lifetime membership!

thanks for the help.

Do you have a similar link for the series1 (providing XML feed similar
to series2 would be best, but could probably parse out an HTML page or
whatever is provided by series1)? I'm fairly new to TiVo development,
but will do some digging. Might be able to work something up.
