OT: TiVo not overheating

[mrtickle]

This always makes me smile - snowing, freezing outside, my heating is on full.

TiVo obviously feels the cold: TiVoweb says
Current Temperature: 29C / 84.2F -- Running cool -- the case must be open

Do you happen to know which tivo system file contains that info ? It's as if the originator thought he'd have a bit of fun, creating cryptic comments for a given set of criteria

It's actually the Info+ module for TiVoweb (so on my tivo it's /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules/17infoplus.itcl (as I tweaked my copy of the module from the original infoplus.itcl). It wasn't one of the base TW modules, I got it from tivocommunity.

Code: Select all

      if {$digit_tempC < 30} {
        set temp_comment "Running cool -- the case must be open"
      }   elseif {$digit_tempC < 39}  {
        set temp_comment "Running in the lower range of normal"
      }   elseif {$digit_tempC < 42}  {
        set temp_comment "Running in the middle range of normal"
      }   elseif {$digit_tempC < 46}  {
        set temp_comment "Running in the upper range of normal"
      }   elseif {$digit_tempC < 51}  {
        set temp_comment "Starting to run hot!  Watch it!"
      }   elseif {$digit_tempC < 56}  {
        set temp_comment "Your TiVo is running hot!  It should be shut down."
      }   else {
        set temp_comment "TiVo is way too hot!  Shut it down right NOW!"
      }


If you use TiVowebPlus, it looks like the standard TiVoweb+ info module is a bit boring and doesn't have comments like that in it.

Ah, so you're the originator/tinkerer (LOL). As you say though, much better to have a useful comment appended, particularly if the machine is getting dangerously hot.

I didn't write the Info+ module! I just fixed my copy to use my bitrates when calculating the disc space used, as it assumed standard bitrates and got the calcs wrong (and also assumes you have the standard TiVoClips amout reserved disc space).
I've edited the earlier post for clarity
