Release 0.13
Bug fixes:
- The "Refresh Show List" downloaded the new list of shows,
but didn't reflect the new list in the available shows
list. You had to close and re-open the window to see the
correct show list. Fixed, now after Refresh Show List the
correct shows will be available immediately.
- There was a possibility for only a subset of your replays
to have their shows listed. This was because a bug caused
the script to request multiple copies of the show lists -
so if one ReplayTV sent it's shows twice, some other ReplayTV
would get ignored. Now, only one copy of the show list is
requested.
Release 0.12
- Now compatible with Firefox 3.0
Release 0.11
- This release changes the way the show list is downloaded, and adds a link to refresh the show list from within the "Send Show" poopli window. If your show listing is over 24 hours old, the "Send Show" window will appear with a message indicating that the show list is being reloaded, and only after the show list is fresh will you see the main "Send Show" page.
- In addition, the show send page will suggest a show if it is a near match for the request, i.e. "Heroes - HD" will match with your "Heroes" show. This can be turned off or adjusted in the Settings window from the status pane.
See the Demo page for a demonstration of the new features, or download now.
Introduction
- What does it do?
- Poopli+IVSMagic automates some features of ReplayTV DVRs, for those owners who use the internet video sharing feature of ReplayTV. Anybody who does not own a ReplayTV DVR will not find it useful at all. Those who do have ReplayTV and have tried it have found it very convenient.
Poopli is a website for ReplayTV owners to request shows from other ReplayTV owners. It's a big database of ISN numbers and shows available. In the old days you had to get the ISN number from Poopli, walk to your couch, and enter the ISN on a remote control.
IVSMagic is some web-based software you can run on a home PC that allows you to send shows by entering an ISN on a webpage.
Poopli+IVSMagic puts these together, taking the information on Poopli and feeding it directly to IVSMagic and vice-versa, so that you have the following features on the Poopli web pages:
- One click send. In the Poopli send window, the send button will send the show via IVSMagic and notify Poopli that you have sent the show all in one click.
- Instant ISN lookups. Everywhere there is an ISN on Poopli, you can click a small icon next to the ISN in order to test it without opening a new webpage. This uses the ISN test feature of IVSMagic.
- Transfer status screen on Poopli. Major pages of Poopli have an IVSMagic status screen added.
In addition, some more minor UI conveniences have been added to the Poopli user experience:
- A link to check all or uncheck all mail messages in your Poopli mail
- A link to My Poopli on top of all Poopli pages
- What do I need to use it?
- Poopli+IVSMagic is a Firefox add-on, which means it runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux. In order to use Poopli+IVSMagic, you'll need:
Once you have those things working, try to download it.
- How do I use it?
- When you first visit Poopli after installing the Poopli+IVSMagic script, you will be asked for the URL for your IVSMagic page. This typically looks something like "http://128.0.0.1:8080/". Be sure that if you enter that URL in your web browser you get your IVSMagic page, and that you've configured IVSMagic and it knows about your ReplayTV(s).
Once you've given it the URL, Poopli+IVSMagic will download information about your available shows and any transfers you have in progress, and display the progress information. In addition, any ISN numbers on Poopli will have a little test icon next to them for you to test them in place, and when you send a show you'll be able to select a show and send it directly from the Poopli window.
Try it!
