Unscramble.o installed, all files ok except one.

[Kreed]

S1 DirecTivo here, 3.1.0c is the software. got unscramble.o installed and am using tytool9r18 and have downloaded several shows fine, but one episode will not finish. the error I get is:

TiVo: {/var/hack/archive} % ./tserver
Doing the Lowest PriorityFix...
Waiting for an incoming connection!
SERVER: We got a message! buf = 'SHOWING'
Waiting for an incoming connection!
SERVER: We got a message! buf = 'TYSTRM2 192.168.1.102 2599 2173082/2173242/2173245'

ERROR: Didn't find fsid=2173242!

TiVo: {/var/hack/archive} %

As you can see tserver then closes or crashes.
Both tytool and mfs_ftp stops transfering the file at the 264MB mark
Any ideas on why this might be?

Thanks

Are you sure the recording is intact? Try playing it to see if it runs all the way through.

I added inode crc checks to the mfs_* package, where the tytool9r18 tserver came from.

It *looks* to me like the inode for fsid 2173242 is bad, but it is possible there is some interaction here with unscramble.o.

Can you examine that recording part from tivosh or from tivoweb and see if you get errors there too?

mfs does have backup inodes that can come into play when inode crc's are bad. The mfs_* package isn't attempting to read the backup inode.

very possibly interaction with unscramble.o. try this:

reboot (or remove unscramble.o and re-insmod)
prime *only* this recording
use "get parts" to get each part seperately, waiting at least a full 10 seconds between. if in doubt, wait 20 :)

if that gets the first part but not the rest, just do all of the steps per part since you're only talking about three parts.

and for goodness' sake, make sure you've got nocso installed so you're not making new scrambles shows!

I can download the file without unscramble.o fine, but of course I can't play it.
The file plays fine on the tivo all the way through.

ronnythunder: I did those steps and the first part still fails at 264MB but it gets a couple of hundred Kb further.

I will be doing the nocso but for now I just modded the Dtivo and I need to unscramble these shows.

thanks for everyones help.

[ronnythunder]

you're absolutely certain that you rebooted the machine, and primed *only* this show? and that you did "get parts" with *only* one part at a time? in other words, you'd have to do three "get parts" operations.

what happens if you try to do the third and second parts?

ronnythunder: I did those steps and the first part still fails at 264MB but it gets a couple of hundred Kb further.Previous evidence made it look like it was the second part that was the problem, not the first.

[Kreed]

I tried all 3, I will try them seperatly now.

OK, all three parts seem to have worked, thanks!

Now do I need to combine these or just edit them as it?

[Kreed]

Nevermind, I used a remuxer to combine the files and that did the trick.

Thanks everyone!
