Editing Resources with a Point and a Click

One of the easier ways to edit a resource [Hack #96] is just to make use of the TiVoWeb resource editor module.

Pick up your remote and surf to the Search by Title menu under Pick Programs to Record. Ever wanted to change the title on the screen? Trick it out to what you want it to say?

In the /var/hack/tivoweb-tcl/modules directory of your TiVo, you should find a file called tvres-3.0.res.

Add the following line to the file:

Words BrowseByTime 1 20

Check out the output of dumpres.tcl [Hack #95]. Scroll down until you find the line that starts: 1 20 {Browse By Time}. Those are the two numbers we are talking about here. We are telling TiVoWeb to expose that particular resource so that we can edit it.
