It gives a "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc000135). Click OK to terminate" error.

Sounds like you forgot to install the required .NET Framework 1.1 when you redid your box...

Hmm wierd, I did install the manual .NET Framework (I had it installed before SP2 upgrade) and somehow SP2 must have broken it.

Hi kjac,

I'm living in Brazil and when I came from US I brought my replaytv.
So now I cannot use the schedule features cause I'm still trying to upload the Brazilian TV schedule.
I developed a small application that grabs all the Brazilian TV channels schedules and I was generating and XMLTV, unfortunately there is no service in brazil that generates a file with all tv shows. But now I saw on this thread and on the new version that you support only the labs XML. That's not a problem I can change my code to generate that format.
My question is, is better to generate the XML or make the code store the schedule direct on the DB?
Can I do it with the version 1.1.2 or should you have to create an option on wirns that allows me to populate the DB?

Regards,
Bruno

I can't seem to get WiRNS running. I downloaded the most recent version. I installed it on a fresh XP pro SP1 system. I did the install of WiRNS. Put .NET framework on. I thenI launched WiRNS and when I try to do the configuration at the loopback address, that page just continually reloads.

Any ideas?

Has anybody downloaded the new line-up for Expressvu yet? I went to the Zap2it page and the site has been updated. I made my selections, deleted the wrins.db and other files, re-downloded the listings from zap2it and changed the zip on my replay, went through the set up, downloaded the guide but it's still the original lineup..anything I missed?

I also did the step on the replay to clear channel guide data, before I received the new lineup. Also, check that you deleted in Wirns the guide file that is created daily. That did it for me.

Got it, the update took on the overnight download. This program rocks!!!

[calvin940]

ok, seriously.. you folks are outstanding. I just got this thing setup and after a couple of false starts, it is up and running now with my expressvu guide in there as well (starting at 1000 +).

I thank you all for your hard work. Keep up the fantastic work.

I have a quick question about the WiRNS server I run. It works great for keeping the CA and IVS, but I have never connected directly to the server without WiRNS and so I cannot activate my My.ReplayTV.com account or get my IVS number on the replaytv server to use Poopli. Is this normal? how can I fix this so that I can use myreplaytv and poopli using wirns?

I use directv and zoom. Is this mirns the only way to get the replay to record voom programs. (including real time?) Can my old (modified with larger hd) showstopper work with this or do I have to have a 4xxx or 5xxx series. If the newer is needed, and this is the only way to get replay to see and record voom, will I be able to keep using my liftime subscription if I change out (still just using one unit)? Can my larger hd be placed in the newer unit as well?
thanks,
Jack

1) Don't know. Try searching on "voom".
2) ShowStoppers have a 137 GB per drive max limit.
3) Doubtful you can transfer it.
4) Probably.

I must be missing one final step... I cannot get my OTA HDTV stations to show up in my served lineup. I can get Zap2It listings for DirecTV into my box, but my "local broadcast" lineup does not show. How do I get my local OTA stations through Wirns? Do I need to remap them in the database? Do I need to rename the lineup from Zap2It? Where am I going wrong? I'm using 1.1.8.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers

[Amazingly Smooth]

Well, it dawned on me that I could simply use the locals portion of the DirecTV account for my local lineup. I simply checked only the locals that are listed at their actual over-the-air stations. I don't know if this is the preferred method, but it sure is convenient for us that DirecTV is offering locals at their actual station numbers. Using this lineup and selecting Other as the satellite box finished this off. Now I just need a way for my OTA receiver to pick up all the locals with the cheap antenna I have.

Thanks for all the help.

Cheers

The missing step is to go into the database and change the lineup type from "Local Broadcast" to "Satellite".

Dreamer, I like my solution better... but whatever works.

I am getting the error below all of a sudden, had it working and did not change a thing. I have restarted and reconfigures a bunch of times now and still nothing.

And, now if your using my patch of the source.....this step isn't required.

It now makes the type Satellite unless the type starts with the word "Cable", in which case it makes the lineup type Cable. Previously the lineup type had to be exactly "Satellite" or "Cable" otherwise, it would pass the entire string out in what was supposed to be a one character field. And, then sometimes strange things would happen....

Uh Oh,

Somewhere along the line, the Serial or IR choice on Wirns Satellite systems got turned off. I NEED serial control for the 4DTV listing, and now it goes right to the IR selection screen.

Help!

Dreamer.. you have a pm.

Hey Guys,

Do you know what DLL and Version I'd need to go back to for the Serial COntrol choice? I hate to just try old DLL versions at random, as I don't want to break anything.

kjac, I would like to use the dish network PPV portion of your program to put the PPV info into an xml file. Is this possible? I would be using it for my SAGETV box, I do not own a Replay box.

The SRC's are at this download site (http://www.users.qwest.net/~bolenbaughryan2/WiRNS.html) . Get the latest build of WiRNS 1.2.8.29238 and you should be all set.
