Configuring Elvis to work on TiVo

This page documents my attempts at getting elvis to work on my TiVo.

Installation Instructions

	Instruction	Command to execute

1	Download and FTP elvis-11.4_Tivo-1.tar.gz to your Tivo's /VAR/HACK directory. If you're unsure how to FTP to TiVo, see the TivoHowToFTP page

2	Telnet to your TiVo

3	Change to the /VAR/HACK directory (assuming you have already created it!)	`CD /var/hack`

4	Extract the 'tar' file from the gzip	`gzip -d elvis-11.4_Tivo-1.tar.gz` You can either cut&paste this or, use the wildcard method - `gzip -d elvis*`

5	Extract the files	`/bin/cpio --unconditional --make-directories -i -H tar -d -F elvis-11.4_Tivo-1.tar.gz`

6	At this point, all files will have been extracted to your /var/hack/elvis/1.4_Tivo-1 directory, not a very useable place. What we really want is to have it all in /var/hack	`cd elvis* cp elvis /var/hack cp terminfo.tar /var/hack`

	There is also a README file in this directory, which outlines what to do from here on

7	Go back to the /var/hack directory and set permissions	`cd /var/hack chmod 755 elvis`

8	Unpack the terminfo.tar file	`cpio -i -H tar --make-directories < terminfo.tar`

Getting it Going

Elvis won't work unless it knows where to find the terminfo file, there are two ways of doing this. The hard and the easy.

The hard way.
Start elvis with the command TERMINFO=/var/hack/terminfo elvis filename

The easy way
requiring a small script to be created in the /var/hack directory

	Instruction	Command to execute

9	Change to the /var/hack directory	`cd /var/hack`

10	Edit file vi	`TERMINFO=/var/hack/terminfo vi`

11	Enter the following lines (If you're not sure how to do this, see the TiVoHowToUseElvis page	`#!/bin/sh TERMINFO=/var/hack/terminfo elvis $1 $2`

12	Change the permission on the vi command	`chmod 755 vi`

You can now use the vi command to edit files. If it doesn't always work, your path mught need adjusting. Try the command /var/hack/vi filename
