Remote timer plugin

[Rob van der Does]

It happens more often that after a timer fails, the times have been changed. That's caaused by the fail, not causing the fail.

How did you add the timers exactly from the clientbox? I suggest to open the EPG, use 'add timer' (green), make sure that the first line is set to 'remote', and click on OK to save. Then look at Remote Timers to see what got into the server.

I added the timer via the epg on my client box. I tried adding a new timer and this time the error on the server read: write error -disk full?
I ave a 750GB hd and I have 84% free space, sso that's not the case either. I have included a couple of screeshots, so you can see my configuration and how I added the timer.1.jpg2.jpg3.jpg

I've just had the same : write error - disk full? when a recording was due to start.

When I checked Menu > Information > Devices
It turned out that my hard drive had somehow become unmounted. (I have no idea how/why this happened).

Maybe this could be your problem?

Look at your screenshot: the location is the local HDD (so the HDD of the client). As that box has no HDD (if I remember well), this must be either flash or an USB-stick.
Make sure that location is the HDD of the server.

But I am not recording from my client. I'm sending that request to my server to record it for me. Isn't this the way it works -with the remote timer?

Once you've set the timer, please go to the server box and open that timer: you'll see 'none' as location. Hence a recording will not be made.

Something must have changed recently.
I used this all the time for 2 boxes I don't have spare tuners in to tell my main box to record.
Would be nice if this cold be solved.

That's right -the recording location on my server was "none".
I tried to change the location on my Zero (client) but it says "invalid location" when I try to change it, even thogh my hd on my server is mounted on my Zero.11.jpg12.jpg

Looks like a bug. I'll try to look into this.

Thank you very much sir and I await your answer!

I confirm this is a bug in ViX; it used to work fine, and in PLi it still does.
I filed a bug report; nothing I can do to fix this myself.

OK, that's that then I guess.
Which version of VIX does it work on? I'm still running Apollo build 163 -haven't really thought about upgrading -until now.
Are you running VIX or PLI? Which one of these do you recomend using?

No idea. Does it still work on Apollo 163?
I mainly use ViX, but also other images (mainly for testing and comparing).

As I mentioned in my last post, I am using Apollo 163. It is within this version I can't get the remote timer working. Does PLI have the same functionality as VIX -plugins and such?

Difficult to give a good answer. Although ViX is based on PLi it has diverted quite a lot from it. Only way is to try it.
