It's probably somewhere in your /home or /var directories, but it varies
depending on what distribution you're running.

I'd recommend that you try and find out if your distribution will list
what files are installed by which packages and then look for the
directory in your Apache package.

I'm sure Google could help you in your endeavor.

[Webvcrplus-disc] setting up webvcr

[Quynh P. <qni...@gm...>]

I'm trying to install webvcr but already am somewhat confused...the HOWTO says

"Now to the fun part :) Setting up WebVCR+! First, go download WebVCR+ here.

Untar the archive into a directory that is in your webserver's root,
so that you can access it through your webserver. Then cd into that
directory and type"

well, i'm not sure what directory my webserver's root is at...or if i
even have one or what?  I have all the required things installed
including apache, which i assume is what i need...any help would be
great...TIA

Re: [Webvcrplus-disc] Clearing or editing the database

[Mike W. <mi...@ro...>]

Well as a new user of WebVCR+ that had a bit of trouble getting it all 
going :>  I'd suggest a command line script that drops the DB that 
manages the raw data in the database.  Something that can clean the 
settings, or rebuild trashed db's, or even wipe and destroy the whole 
thing.  When I was initially setting up WebVCR+ I ran into a problem 
where my copy of MySQL on Fedora Core2 would report a DB as dropped, but 
not actually remove it.  This meant that as I was trying to re-install, 
the setup.pl script would die every time it came to the database part.  
Anyway thanks for the great program, and I plan on becoming more of a 
voice in here as I get familiar with it :>

[Webvcrplus-disc] Problems with latest CVS version of Webvcrplus

[Paul G. <pg...@gr...>]

Hey all,
  I just wanted to report a couple things I've noticed with the latest
CVS updated version of webvcrplus.  I did finally solve my problem with
listings.pl, it turned out to be a network problem so now I can do a db
update via cron w/o any problem.  There are two problems I'm having now:

1. On the "currently scheduled programs" page there is no-longer any way
to deselect something selected to record.  For some reason now the
unrecord button no longer is there.

2. I've noticed two different programs that do not work as favorites.
One of them is called "The NewsHour With Jim Lehrer" the other one is
"ABC World News Tonight" (yes, I'm a news junkie).  What seems to happen
is that the first "episode" will be recorded but from then on it seems
to think it already has the new episodes recorded and will not record
them again. When I wiped out my db I was able to once more record one
episode of each before it would no longer schedule them for recording. =20

Do any of you have any knowledge of how to fix these problems?  The
first one is slightly annoying, the second one is debilitating to me.

Thanks!
Paul

Well, you could always drop the tv database and rebuild it again with 
setup.pl. It's a good question though. I'm a bit reluctant to add it to 
the web interface because of accidental deletion or abuse. What does 
everyone else think?

I was wondering if it was possible to either clear or edit the database

Re: [Webvcrplus-disc] Release Candidate: 0.9.2.9-rc1

[Paul G. <pg...@gr...>]

Yeah, I did do that already. The odd thing is that I had the old version
kind of working with the new tv_grab_na_dd. I was dl'ing it and putting
it in the db. It even would record my favorites but the display of now
on tv was messed up.  Once I cvs updated though listing.pl seems to be
broken.

You might also want to try running the grabber on it's own to make sure it's 
able to download the listings. I had to register with zap2it to get it 
working. registering is a bit of a pain, but they havea pretty nice web 
interface to the lineup so you can edit the channel info that's sent to you.

You can use the CVS version. Did you update config.php to change 
tv_grab_na to tv_grab_na_dd?

Re: [Webvcrplus-disc] Release Candidate: 0.9.2.9-rc1

I did a cvs update (the same as dl'ing the new release right?) and I've
found a couple bugs. The first one is that there is no way to select the
tv_grab_na_dd. I was able to hack the listings.pl script to be called
but now when it runs it seems to be grabbing all the programming
correctly but nothing gets scheduled. It seems like there is nothing now
in the db for tv because none of the links show any programs ("now on
tv" nor any of the movies links).  Should I be reinstalling from scratch
instead of using cvs?

[Webvcrplus-disc] Webvcrplus problems with the new xmltv

[Paul G. <pg...@gr...>]

Hello,
  I just wanted to see if anyone here could help me.  I've been using
WebVCR+ for a while and I love it.  Earlier this week Zap2it changed
their format which required that the xmltv be updated. Unfortunately
this update partially breaks WebVCR+ in its current form. I had to do
one hack to make the listings.pl script work, that was to change the
line that calls the grabber so it now calls the new version of
tv_grab_na_dd (instead of tv_grab_na) the _dd version is the only one
that works for me now. Here is that line after the change:

if ($xmltv_source eq 'tv_grab_na')  {
        system("tv_grab_na_dd --days $days --output=3D$xmltv_listing
--days=3D$days") =3D=3D 0
|| die "Listings not updated in listings.pl!\n";

This works somewhat now, it is recording the shows again however it does
not display them properly on the "Now on TV" page anymore (it scrambles
the channel order and only shows current shows not future ones). I don't
know too much about php so I haven't tried to fix it. Does anyone know
how to fix this?
Thanks!
Paul

[Webvcrplus-disc] Interest in these features?

[Brian D. <br...@de...>]

Hi All,

After a long hiatus, I finally have a new webvcr+ box up and recording 
my favorite shows.  I ended up re-implementing two of my favorite 
features that I never got included back into the main distro.  I was 
wondering if I should make patches against 0.9.2.7 for them.  Somebody 
let me know.

The first features is this:  In the menu, just below the free space I 
have "free time".  On the settings page I have added a config "Size (in 
MB) of 1 minutes of recorded video", if this number is greater than 0 
then a line is printed out something like this:
		15 March 2004, 12:15PM

		 147402 MB Free
		  409:27 Free time
I was also thinking about converting MB to GB if it was over a certain 
threshold.

Second Feature:  Adding another line to the config page, "Store 
recorded shows in subdirectories", if that box is checked.  record.pl 
(and convert.pl, but I haven't done that since I don't convert) will 
create a subdirectory named after the show.  So if it was recording 
"The Simpsons - Bart's Girlfriend" it would actually store it in 
$savedir/The Simpsons/The Simpsons - Bart's Girlfriend.avi

Other features I have been thinking about.  Making the 'data' directory 
un-viewable from the Video Library link.  Adding a "(download)" link 
next to the file in the video library (have implemented, but not 
generic enough to commit).  Other things I've thought about would be 
"Most recently recorded shows" on the front page.

What is the current status of the project?

Thanks,
    Brian

Hi Jared,

I gather from your e-mail address and the channels on your screenshots you 
live in the Seattle area too. Do you belong to a LUG? Perhaps we might 
bump into each other sometime. I would love to pick your brain and learn 
about some of your development approaches.

Re: [Webvcrplus-disc] Multiple devices?

[Jared K. <furiousj@u.washington.edu>]

furious_tv ( http://furioustv.sourceforge.net/ ) supports this feature.
It's also written in C so the listings parser is a lot faster.

I basically modelled furious_tv after webvcr+ except it uses a GNOME
interface for editing (there's also a web-based one, but it's not as
good as webvcr+).

If you'd like any information about how I implemented multiple device
support, I'd be glad to tell you how I did it (in case you're looking
for ideas).

I've been putting a lot of work lately into cleaning up all of the code.
It's been a bigger job that I had expected. I've also fixed a lot of bugs.
I plan to check in a ton of the code for testing in the next month or so.
Once it's bug free and released I'll be able to work on other features. In
the meantime, I would ask that the other developers check with me before
checking in any code to CVS.

To solve this, I deleted both databases and started from scratch.  What
I found was that the problem didn't have anything to do with my trying
to set up two installations.  The error showed up for a single
installation.

The problem was solved by giving more mysql permissions to the user
associated with the database.  I don't know if this problem arose
because of a change in mysql (I'm using mysql 4.0.16-2 in Debian
unstable), or because of a change in webvcr+.

[Webvcrplus-disc] tv_grab_au bugfixes and cable support

[Roh . <ro...@ho...>]

hi ppls

for all the aussie users running tv_grab_au, there is now a new (0.2) 
version with a few bugfixes that affected regional channels (if your a 
regional user you know what im talking about!), and finally have added Optus 
and Foxtel pay-tv listings support.

looking forward to feedback from paytv users as i havnt tested paytv lists 
that well, although the xml output is clean and tv_sort can add the stop 
times like before, i did rush it a little since i know so many people want 
paytv support.

happy xmltv'ing everyone :)

The setup you described is something I attempted to solve with
furious_tv ( http://furioustv.sourceforge.net/ ), a UNIX (esp. Linux)
PVR. It supports multiple capture cards, doesn't require a database
server or a web server, and has a GNOME interface (ftv_gnome). ftv_gnome
automatically informs the user of conflicts and can optionally resolve
them based on TV show priorities.

If you want to use WebVCR+ and you know a bit about SQL, detecting
conflicts shouldn't be that difficult to do.

A query similar to this should work through MySQL in the WebVCR+
database:

select pid from program where record = 1 and start >= '$start' and start
< '$stop' order by start asc limit 20;

Replace $start and $stop with the values of a currently selected program
(i.e. you have to execute the above command once per program... a shell
script might be a good idea here =).

I hope that information helps!
