Has anyone else been experiencing an issue with the guide updates using the WiRNS 2.0 preview release? I installed the preview last night since then I have not been able to get WiRNS to complete a guide update.

It starts the process by backing up and clearing the logs, but then freezes after that.

Here is the data from my log, the debug log shows no data (with or without debug mode enabled)

Any ideas? I have "clean" installed WiRNS serveral times to no avail, about read to just go back to previous version of WiRNS, but I have noticed Zap2it getting more and more flakey as of late, and was hoping to workaround the pending shutdown.

Thanks in advance,

Half

I think I'm in the same boat as you. I've noticed that mine normally will freeze right at the same point you're at...

I think I'm also in the same little boat.... I hope we have enough rations!

Normally miseray loves company, but in this case I hope Ryan or Glenn have a cure!

UPDATE: just re-installed the previously fully functional version or WiRNS 1.3 and low and behold I can no longer pull a guide update from Zap2it at all.

Same symptoms same lockup at same point.

Good news: Problem isn't specific to WiRNS 2.0

Bad news: Why is it also affecting 1.3 via Zap2it data direct?

thanks in advance,

Same here.

I had "zipcode" 2.0 from earlier in the week working pretty well using only DNNA. After running the updater (I believe on Friday) it just shuts down when I attempt "update guide" with the zipcode enabled. Before it would log an error and move on when update guide failed.

This *error* is apparently fatal.

Apparently, I have joined this cruise. When I try to do a guide update, it says "checking connection with lab2it" or something like that.

Also trying to change the guide for a particular replay to another channel lineup also causes it to crash.

Ok..

should be fixed here: http://www.wirns.com/Download/WiRNS.2.0.0.0_7.7.2007_Preview.msi

or via the updater.

Silly date/time conversion.

I second that!
Thanks Ryan!

I'm only here because I've got the same problem...

Except I was running a January 30 WiRNS and it was just fine until this morning.

Then I did an update to the latest 1.3 codebase...

And it couldn't connect...

And tcpdump shows syn's to zap2it's http port, and rst's coming back (web server down).

For the heck of it I installed the latest 2.0 preview... here are a few "challenges"
1. It won't let me put in lineups other than those it figured out for my zip ... so I don't know what to do to get the 4dtv lineup.
2. It hangs forever on "Checking zap2it servers"... although "hangs forever" means it spools up memory usage, then dies, and repeats the process. The first one of these did the S->zaptoit(http) and got an RST back... but the rest of the restarts did not. (Now that I'm talking about the DW20 process btw. WiRNSMon runs fine the whole time.)

Any other diagnostic information I can supply... after the ChampCar race.

In the meantime... have a great morning and thanks for all the hard work

Did a quick update (was already running the 7_7 release) and the new version doesn't die after failing to contact zap2it servers... it just says there was an error transferring the data... and will try again in two hours.

The new version doesn't die on "Update" from "Configure Datadirect"... it processes it correctly.

Ehud
PS
Two questions when someone has a mo:
1. How do I configure a source for 4dtv data
2. How do I configure a replacement for zap2it

scott02467 · Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2007 4:08 am Post subject: same as gavron

I thought I was on the most current release 7_7 but updated this morning using WirnsMon and now got the zap2it channel guide. The initial try reported a socket problem, but I kicked off a manual update and it went through.

But yes, how to configure the zap2it replacement option?

I've been playing around with 2.0 and noticed it stopped updating guide data once I edited the channel remap file. I had just changed the callsign of a station, not the channel number. I had done this in 1.3.2 with no problems. The actual channel remap file was empty.

Once I uninstalled, deleted the Wirns entries from the registry, reinstalled and updated, the guide began to update again.

An associated question--I need eventually to exclude a lot of channels. I'd rather do it in Wirns than in the Replay itself. Would I totally screw things up if I:

1. Shut down Wirns and stopped the service
2. Edited the channel remap.csv file in Excel (changing TRUE to FALSE in a certain range of channels--mostly Comcast's music channels and the ESPN PPV channels).
3. Saved it as a csv and restarted the Wirns service?

Seems easier than manually unclicking about a hundred channels. Would also save me from unclicking hundreds more if I use the DirecTV listings for the one channel I need from my Globecast satellite system (Setanta Sports).

That's odd. A few days ago, I THINK I saw a remap csv file with ALL the channels, and a TRUE and FALSE column for including and excluding channels.

I wasn't sure if this should go in the 2.0 guide update thread or this one, but I figured it's kind of an issue, so it should go here.
Within WiRNS - I have the following options:

/14/2007 10:57:20] Found Lineup: Southgate - Comcast
[7/14/2007 10:57:21] Found Lineup: Southgate - Comcast (Digital)
[7/14/2007 10:57:21] Found Lineup: Southgate - WOW Detroit
[7/14/2007 10:57:22] Found Lineup: Southgate - WOW Detroit (Digital)
[7/14/2007 10:57:22] Found Lineup: DISH, Detroit
[7/14/2007 10:57:24] Found Lineup: DirecTV, Detroit
[7/14/2007 10:57:26] Found Lineup: Antenna (Over The Air)
[7/14/2007 10:57:26] Found Lineup: DirecTV, National
[7/14/2007 10:57:29] Found Lineup: DISH, National

I couldn't figure out why my replay is not picking up the digital cable channels and WiRNS was. When going back through my replay (many times), I discovered that it has a WiRNS: Southgate - Comcast (Digital) (Digital) that is the only one available once selecting digital cable box within my replay. I ended up going with the analog cable box selection where the Southgate - Comcast (Digital) selection was available and am able to now pull down the guide for my digital cable and it is now working.

I had seen the "CityName" - Comcast (Digital) (Digital) listed by other people before, but didn't realize that it wasn't pulling the guide.

hdonzis · Posted: Sat Jul 14, 2007 10:10 am Post subject:

There was a discussion about this somewhere. That the WiRNS DNNA digital cable lineups are showing up in the analog cable menu of the Replay. I commented that if they WERE to be made to show up in the digital cable menu, then they would say "(Digital) (Digital)". So, maybe Ryan has made some changes...

I thought I remembered that too, but I couldn't find it. I thought that they would show up there too, so I was surprised when I received the error on my replay that they service that used to be there wasn't there any longer.

Not a 2.0 issue but wondering if this is going on in 2.0

In 1.3, every once in awhile the guide updates were failing and the only good way around it was to restart wirns and initiate a manual guide update. This happens kind of hit and miss and just happened to me again last night.

I am thinking this is a zap2it issue sending bad data that is messing up the update process and hanging everything so in 2.0 it would only show up if still using zap2it and not the DNNA feed.

Is anyone seeing this in 2.0 or has this issue been eliminated. And yes, I know people have only been running it a short time.

sanjonny · Planet Master Joined: 21 Oct 2006 Posts: 871

Also, I know that a fix was posted to fix JIT in 2.0. Has that been successful for the general users of 2.0? I am hoping to reinstall 2.0 later assuming that JIT is working for most users now. How has it been going?

Working great for me....

Is something different about how wirns 2.0 uploads the info to poopli, or has poopli changed. It used to be that once I logged into poopli on a computer, I almost never had to log into it again, unless I logged in on a different computer.

Now I always have to login to poopli, which is frustrating. I am guessing wirns is logging into poopli differently and for that reason, poopli is requesting login information the next time I try and login.

It could be that poopli changed, but this only started happening when I installed 2.0 so I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this?

halfrican.ak · Replay junkie Joined: 15 Dec 2006 Posts: 173

I also have noticed this and assumed it had something to do with Poopli's handling of cookies. Since WiRNS doesn't use our log on info for updating I doubt it could be the cause, and I am almost sure it was happening prior to my update to 2.0.

sanjonny · Planet Master Joined: 21 Oct 2006 Posts: 871

Yes, but it only started doing it when I changed to 2.0. Which is weird.

scott02467 · Posted: Tue Jul 17, 2007 5:11 am Post subject:

I have noticed the same but it started some 4-6 weeks ago for me...nothing related to Wirns 2.0. My thought too was just that poopli had said the cookies to expire earlier.
