Adjust Endpad

From NLTiVo

Standard a script is running on the OzTivo image which makes the TiVo record earlier and longer than the time specified (providing another show isn't back-to-back). It's actually a very useful feature although you might want to adjust the default times a little bit.

For example: Time Set for 8pm start and 8:30pm finish will start recording at 7:55pm and finish at 8:40pm. (5 mins early and 10 mins longer).

This is to avoid cutting off the beginning or end if the programme is running early or late.

To adjust the amount of padding, do the following…

 cd /etc/rc.d/ 

 rw 

 cp rc.sysinit.author rc.sysinit.author.bak 

 nano rc.sysinit.author 

Scroll down and edit the line which will read something like /var/hack/endpadplus.tcl 5 10 –auto

To disable endpad (not really recommended) put a # in front of the line.

If you want to adjust it, change the 5 and the 10

Ie 5 = 5 mins early and 10 = 10 mins late end time So if you want to change it to be 1 min early and 5 mins late, adjust it to read

 /var/hack/endpadplus.tcl 1 5 –auto 

 ctrl-x 

Select yes to save.

Press enter to save under the same name and reboot.

Your changes should be effective once Tivo has rebooted.
