Hey, just so you know ... this post is now about 16 years and 1 month old. Please keep that in mind as it very well may contain broken links and/or outdated information.

It’s been a while since I last posted but I’ve been sick for the last week with a really bad chest cold. I actually stayed home from work on Wednesday (taking the rare, for me, sick day), slept pretty much the entire day and still really didn’t feel any better. I’ve still got the cough, but the worst is behind me. I need to be 100% for my upcoming Arizona trip!

In my free time over the past few days, to keep my mind off of the coughing, the sneezing, the nose-blowing, etc. I’ve been tinkering with Galleon’s ToGo code, the app that lets you download recordings from your TiVo from your PC (the TiVo Desktop-ish way) or directly from the TiVo interface itself. I don’t use the app much, but there were a few minor bugs in it that were, uh, bugging me so I decided to take a crack at them and did a little cleanup along the way.

On the client side (mainly the ToGo tab):

• fixed the bug that was causing the show description to not display.
• added indication of [HD], DIGITAL, or UNKNOWN recording qualities to the existing analog ones (MEDIUM, HIGH, etc.).
• displayed copy-protected recordings, indicated with lock icon (previously the app was just hiding these shows, which I thought was confusing and inconsistent with other downloading apps, like TiVo Desktop. I thought it better to see that the show is actually there, just copy-protected. This was also causing problems with the space calculation, see below).
• re-instated the blue ball icon to indicate a TiVo Suggestion.
• on the TiVos tab (not pictured) I fixed the space remaining calculation. Before it was just subtracting the size of all recordings (across all TiVos) from the capacity of each individual TiVo, which was resulting in negative, obviously wrong, numbers.

On the TiVo side, I made similar changes:

• added indication of [HD], DIGITAL, or UNKNOWN recording qualities to the existing analog ones (MEDIUM, HIGH, etc.).
• displayed copy-protected recordings, indicated with lock icon.
• re-instated the blue ball icon to indicate a TiVo Suggestion.
• fixed display of total Length (hours:minutes) for statistics on main Now Playing screen (not pictured).

I’ve checked my changes into the SourceForge project’s CVS repository so they should be part of version 2.5.5, whenever that is finally released.
