New Playstream

Is there an updated playstream available? Need a way to stop it without having to reboot or wait till it finishes playing a file. TIA, Gary

Really you should be asking if there is a way of restarting myworld after running PlayStream. Surely Ctrl+C or kill would stop the application.

Neither Ctrl+C or kill will stop it once executed. Using hyperterminal or tera term on a windows 98 machine. Any other commands that might work?

Playstream doesn't show in the list when i send the ps command. How do i get the process id ? playstream is in the /var/bin/ directory.

I also had the problem of not being able to stop playstream with ^C. If you use the shondss=true method of starting a shell, there isn't any job control and ^C won't work.

What you want to do is add the following line to /mnt/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit

/bin/bash </dev/ttyS3 >& /dev/ttyS3 &

You should make this change to both copies of rc.sysinit (on hda4 and hda7). Job control commands will work if you start up bash this way. See: http://tivo.samba.org/index.cgi?req...e=faq04.006.htp for background information, although I did this edit directly on the TiVo, then removed the shondss=true after I verified that it was working (otherwise it starts up bash twice).
