understand emmy error "reason" codes

Emmy will display various error "reason" codes in the MsDOS Debug window. These provide information on why an error has occurred.

0 NO_FAIL No error was encountered, should see this message only once.
1 CONNECTION_LOST Network connection lost while trying to fetch the URL requested. Can occur when the DTV Client is not connected to the network or Emmy/STB can’t establish connection with the Liberate server.
2 NO_ROOM The DTV Client has run out of memory or failed to allocate memory correctly
3 UNKNOWN_MIME_TYPE Obsolete Error Message
4 SERVER_NOT_FOUND The domain in the URL does not exist or the server is down
5 PAGE_NOT_FOUND The Server did not find any document matching the request URL. Please see further information on HTTP Error code 4XX
6 GENERAL_NOT_FOUND This can mean that Emmy failed to follow a redirect URL because of protocol issues. See further information on HTTP Error code 4XX.

Hints & Tips

  • General HTTP error codes are not specific to the DTV platform. More info on HTTP 1.0 can be found at: http://www.w3.org/Protocols/HTTP/1.0/spec . Further detail on the TV Navigator application error handler (includes type/sub-type categorisations of errors) can be found in Liberate’s CDK (System Capabilities/ Input Object/Handlers)
