Plugin: SageTCPServer

OK so the crash is because you are already using port 9260 with something else, and I'm not properly handling that error. I suspect that it's probably why others had such crashes, though none provided me with an actual log before you...

So if you can find the other application using port 9260 and are able to make it use another port, that would solve the issue. If not, you can edit the port(s) used either through the SageTV plugin interface or by editing the sage.properties file, while SageTV and its service isn't running.

Thanks it looks like the port in use is the program NETBURNER, Was using it to rip to my server, So Just for now I uninstalled it will have to see if that fixs the problem.


Thanks for the quick response

Version 2.3.5

- Photos had a duration, which caused issues with TaSageTV.


Basically the list of photos could not be written to the database...

This seemed to fix my photos problem, thanks for your fast response.

Happy Hollidays!!

I've been playing at using this for my Crestron system at home to control my HD-200s over IP instead of IR. I've basically recreated the remote buttons using the info on the developers page, but CHU and CHD do not behave exactly as their counterparts on the IR remote do while in menus and lists. In other words, channel up and channel down function as pageup pagedown type commands while in a menu using the IR remote, but CHU and CHD do not. A neat side effect is that I can go up and down my playlist from just about anywhere, but I'm also looking for a command something like PageUP and PageDOWN in menus/lists and I don't see one on your list.

Interestingly, the channel up and channel down on the TiSageTV remote page function as I would expect.

Thanks for any insight!

You want to use:

CMD:Channel Up/Page Up

and

CMD:Channel Down/Page Down

That worked! Thanks.

Another question: is there any way to get the ID of the currently playing file? I'm not sure I can deal with the entire list of media, but it'd be neat to display artwork for the currently playing item.

Sure, as long as you are connected to the SageTV client, you should see a message CID for that. There's CTT for the title and a bunch more. Just make sure to have sent the INI command, or you won't be getting that automatic feedback.

Greetings all,

I suppose I am moving my thread originally started over here:
http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60889

To the SageTCPserver thread here, so here goes:

Last evening SageTV shutdown out of the blue while kid was watching the yellow sponge show.

Troubleshooting led me to disable plugins while tailing the sage logfile. Found that TCPserver was initiating a SageTV shutdown. I only use SageTCPserver for TiSage, and here is what the log file shows:

I can upload my logfile if needed.

If I re-enable SageTCPserver it reliably crashes after startup, so I have repeatable results. With TCPserver disable SageTV functions properly. I attempted to remove and reinstall TCPserver but it behalves the same way.

Thoughts? Suggestions? It isn't urgent now that I have SageTV running again.

To elaborate on what benjatelcom posted, in viewing his whole log file, it looks like it is, for some reason, creating a ton of open player bindings, looks like one per device on the network? One of them is tried to bind twice (that's what's throwing the exception, which, unhandled, is killing sage).

It sounds like you have one or more extenders/clients that keep getting different IP's, which messes up my pre-loading of known clients... I do limit them to like 20 different ports, which is why it's trying to open up 9279 twice.

If you shutdown SageTV (and service), then edit the Sage.properties file, search for 9279 and you should find a bunch of IP/ports combo. You should probably clean that up before relaunching SageTV... If you can assign fixed IP to your SageTV clients/extenders, that would prevent it from happening again later...

I had to remove this plugin but now when I try to add it again it fails. Seems the original install point (from a Dropbox URL) is missing?? Can it get put back please?

Everything seems fine on DropBox... Are you doing it through the SageTV plugins installer or did you have a direct link to DropBox?

It worked this morning, so all is well. Thanks!

Hiya -- for years I have been running SageTCPServer 1.7.0 with iRule on my iPod to control both my server (with HD200 extender) and my Sage PC Client -- and it works beautifully.

I want to add a button to my iRule panel which will jump me directly to my recordings but don't see a way to do so. Looking though your source code, it looks like there is a command to do it, but it also looks like many of the commands have changed from 1.7.0 to now.

So 2 questions arise --

Is there a command in 1.7.0 to take me directly to recordings in 1.7.0?

If not, what kind of issues might I run in to upgrading from 1.7.0 to latest (I see there is no longer a SageTV device in irule)? I have a rock-solid system and really don't want to screw it up (for a single additional button on my remote). Note that 1.7.0 was installed prior to the SageTV plugin system, so the plugin shows as not installed.

Thanks!

I am having a similar problem. I cannot get SageTCPServer to download at all. I always get the java read timeout. I can load FireFox on the same machine and download it fine but I can't through the plugin manager.

Can someone offer assistance on what I can do?

I have attached a screenshot of what I get when I attempt to download. I have tried with and without Windows Firewall being on and off.

Help!!

It's a problem with DropBox, see post 20 in this thread: http://forums.sagetv.com/forums/showthread.php?t=60964

You can get the file directly from:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...rver-2.3.5.zip

You might be able to copy the .jar file to the plugin folder, but it's been a long time since I did it outside the plugin interface...

[shanewise]

Got it...since I had a webserver at my house I just aliased dropbox to it...set the directory structure up and downloaded the necessary files and got it going that way!!!!

Thanks for the help!

Hi All:

A few questions about tcp server plugin and the rest. I have 2 hd-200 extenders and I can't find where I "named" them as "family room" and "bedroom". In the tcpserver plugin I have the extender name as the mac address, but I would like to give it a name that actually means something like bedroom or family room. so in the plugin configuration it has a field for extender name, but how does it know which name goes with which mac address?

I think I'm missing something here...thanks!
