External tuning command in SageTV V9 Linux

fi
wget -q -O \dev\null $tunecmd
echo chanraw: $chanraw >TuneHold.txt
echo chanpre: $chanpre >>TuneHold.txt
echo chansub: $chansub >>TuneHold.txt
echo tunecmd: $tunecmd >>TuneHold.txt
echo useSTB: $useSTB >>TuneHold.txt

It's gives me an 'Authentication Failure' message, even after entering the password.

• -rwx--x--x 1 root root 959 Oct 17 01:24 /opt/sagetv/server/gentuner

Shell scripts should be readable by everyone if they have the execute flag on.

chmod a+r /opt/sagetv/server/gentuner

Can you post the output of:

id
/opt/sagetv/server/gentuner REMOTES
su - root -c "/opt/sagetv/server/gentuner REMOTES"

Since it sounds like you are logged in as root, the last two commands should be the same.

This doesn't look like a gentuner script to me. A gentuner script needs to check for the CAN_TUNE, REMOTES, and TUNE options and respond appropriately as discussed previously. That would explain why you aren't seeing any remotes in Sage.

Perhaps you were using a different tuning plugin before?

Yes, this had been using the old 32-bit External Tuner Plugin, which operated in conjunction with a separate file (ext-command-tuner-remotes.cfg) that defined the tuning devices.

I was asking what was needed to make the script functional under the gentuner plugin as the old plugin simply passed the two tuning arguments (Tuning Device, Channel Number) to a script the end user defined.

• You are logged in as the user "owner".
• Your script expects two options, the second which must be a number, so it's throwing this error. Your script doesn't recognize the REMOTES option which is required for a gentuner script.
• You need to enter root's password.

I suggest you take the gentuner.IPSTB and modify it to do the wget tuning that is in your script. You can take most of your script and just stick it in the TUNE section, then in the REMOTES section, add this to announce the remotes you have:

    echo "DSS1"
    echo "DSS2"
    echo "DSS3"
    echo "DSS4"
    echo "DSS5"
    echo "DSS6"

The two plugins have different requirements for the tuning scripts, they are similar but are not interchangeable.

I suggest you use gentuner.IPSTB as an example and modify it using the code in your script.
