DirecTV Script Not Working

Hey,

This script just stopped working for no apparent reason recently:

Code: Select all

#! /usr/bin/env python2.5
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

import simplejson
import urllib2

DTVIP = "192.168.1.53"
url = "http://%s:8080/tv/getTuned?" % DTVIP
f = urllib2.urlopen(url)
simplejson_string = f.read()
f.close()
parsed_simplejson = simplejson.loads(simplejson_string)

try:
   programTitle = parsed_simplejson['title']
   indigo.variable.updateValue(1708209973, programTitle)
except:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(1708209973, " ")
try:
   majorCh = str(parsed_simplejson['major'])
   indigo.variable.updateValue(564695813, majorCh)
except:
   indigo.variable.updateValue(564695813, " ")

It populates some variables on the current channel and title.

Here's the log error:

Code: Select all

Appreciate any help getting it working.

Thanks,

Well, this is pretty obvious:

Code: Select all

   Script Error                    embedded script: <urlopen error [Errno 64] Host is down>


Are you sure the DTV receiver is on and that's the correct IP address? Do you have that IP address set with a DHCP reservation in the router?

I had assumed that as well except the DirecTV plugin and scripts were still working.
I restarted the DirecTV box and now it’s working again.

Thanks,

Carl
