Topfield / Icebox 1 password?
October 23, 2010, 08:12:56 AM
Hi all,
It's been close to 5 years since the last time I logged into my icebox1, and I can't for the life of me remember the password. I'm pretty sure I didn't change it from the default, because I knew this would happen, and I figured I'd always be able to find a web site that has the setup instructions, but not so much.

Anyone know what it is?
Thanks, Mark.

Topfield / Re: Fetch Failing
August 13, 2008, 11:04:44 PM

Thanks for your help tony,

Yes, I did do a firmware upgrade, but about a month ago with no issues. Hard drive got itself corrupted over the weekend (tried to delete a 0Gb recording, toppy hung and had to reformat).

I made sure to not include the USB speedup hack. I usually use Filezilla to transfer to/from, only used toppytools to do the firmware upgrade. To make sure, I shut down everything, then started up Icebox and Toppy in that order, then opened a browser to force guide fetch.

Also strange that I can transfer files via FTP with no problem, its just the file fetch which hangs it up.

Will keep trying..

I've got exactly the same thing. Been working for months, and all of a sudden I'm getting no lovin' from my Icebox.

If I restart the Toppy, the Icebox Tap tells me to force a fetch and restart. But forcing a fetch results in the same error as korn23 is seeing. The full log file shows:

Topfield / Re: Topfield Hangs after loading Ice Tap
March 08, 2006, 11:48:37 PM
I've noticed a similar thing on my Toppy (original, not Panther - can't remember what firmware I'm running off the top of my head). When restarting the Toppy, as soon as the IceTV TAP splash screen disappears, none of the remote control buttons (except for power) work. If I wait half an hour or so, its all good.

TED will get the guide from ICE automatically, transfer the TGD's to the Toppy, and EPGuploader carries on from there. Jag's will still work.

That's what I had thought from my reading on this and on the Toppy forum, but I thougth I would just make sure since no-one has replied to this feature request, saying that it is already possible. Although it would make an even more seamless all-in-one solution if the ICE TAP could do name based recordings like JAG does. (And Peter also mentioned it was possible if there was enough demand. So I'm just increasing demand :) )

QuoteSeeing this is a wishlist -
- The ability to simply set record a show and not have to worry about  the timer ie the show carries some sort of ID tag and it doesn't matter if the preceeding show goes over the published finished time. The PVR & EPG will compensate.

I know I'm coming in late here, but after having a laptop sitting in my hi-fi cabinet since I bought my toppy, I want to get rid of it, so I"ve started looking down this Ice/WGT634 route.

I currently use Up2Date,EPGUploader and JagEPG, which does just this. I just set it to record "Cheers", and no matter what time of day or what channel decides they want to run repeats of Cheers, I'll have it waiting for me.

Now that I've had it, this is one feature that I absolutely, positively, 100% cannot live without. So unless IceTV can do it, or if Ice generates TGDs that EPGUploader can use, I will have to live with the laptop in the cabinet, and every now and again downloading a new version of the ninemsn EPG grabber...
