Unscrambling recordings on S2 DTivo

[Meklos]

I have several recordings made on a S2 DTivo (DSR-704) that I would like to be able to extract. If it's not possible, so be it. But I've been reading a few older threads about being able to loop back a recording through mfs_ftp with the noscramble.o module and coming out with an unscrambled recording...


But this only seems to work on S1s. Has anyone worked out exactly what needs to be done in the post-noscramble2 S2 world?

Most appreciatively...

No, This is S1s only.

I think it would help to remind people that a .o file is a linux kernel module. This means its binary so its compile for a particular processor architecture (meaning that its compiled ppc and won't run on series 2 mips processors). This is another place where a little bit of linux knowledge will help you understand whats happening.

*nod* Most definitely. I had followed the thread and wanted to make sure I was seeing what I thought I had seen. I didn't know exactly how the noscramble2 patch works in with this. As far as I can tell, the way noscramble2 works is that the tivoapp now just doesn't care if the CSO keys are 0s, but if they're not 0s, it decrypts and plays as normal. Since the keys are box-specific, encrypted recordings can still be played but not extracted or moved successfully.

I think...
