Widgets Phase 2 Testing: Instructions & Issue Reports

[sundude90]

A couple things, Directv isnt working on this 24/7. They probably take the weekend off. I don't know if the R22 is part of widget, we'll ask. Is anyone not having an HR2x receiver show on the website? I understand R22 are not showing, but haven't heardof any missing HR.

H series do not do widgets as far as I know, if they are showing just ignore them.

Jason here is a quote from your original post at the start of this thread.
"Widgets are only available on the HR2* and the R2* series. (They are not available on the D1*, H2*, R*, or any other DIRECTV DVR)"

My HR20-700 still doesn't show (in fact, nothing shows) in the drop-down on the widget site. No problem logging in or viewing the widget selection.

The reponse I got is that the R22 will be supported, but they still need to update some stuff for the widget site.

They weren't sure why the H receivers are showing, but are working on it.

For anyone that hasn't registered for widgets yet, please include your forum name on the registration - it makes it much easier for DirecTV to tie issues to receivers/accounts.

Could you please tell us when these issues are fixed. Thanks

 

[sundude90]

Any more news on when Directv is going to get the issues with the Widgets Website fixed?? For example receivers not showing up on the site.

 

[Rey]

i would like to know if more widgets are expected.

I must be missing something.... I'm number 802 but I can't log into the widgets site. I enter my email and password and get "your login attempt was not successful, please try again".

anyone know why when I press the right arrow button the screen flashed black, but no widgets? I believe I was in the 60s.

 

[Brew]

I added an RSS feed, but it doesn't show up. All I'm getting is the welcome widget so far.

 

[sundude90]

Any more news about receivers not showing up on the website like the R22?

thanks,

Josh

Did you add any widgets on the web site to your receiver? Otherwise you'll just have the black bar.

Are you sure it was the right receiver? The website is also showing some receivers that can't do widgets (h series)

I think the plan is to get the infrastructure solid before working on content.

Yes. I've added a few. Press "right" and nothing happens except a black flash. No widget bar.

The Widget SDK templates DO NOT WORK!

I understand that the current Widget SDK does not work, and DirecTV is working on one that may work!

Network conected? Passes the "connect to internet" test?

What version you running on the hr2x? Which hr2x?

Solved. Not sure why, but using my user ID (not my e-mail address) works.

Yes, my HR22's are not in the list on the website.
