Tytool connection question

[Titan]

I have uploaded the tserver and nowshowing files to my hdvr2 and then chmod 777, followed by ./tserver_mfs.

When I start tytool I get a "connection failed" error.

However, if I start teraterm and type the ./tserver_mfs command in teraterm, I can then go to tytool and do a refresh and the now playing list will display and I can extract video fine. However, if I close the teraterm connection tytool will not work by itself.

I am happy that I got tytool to work in conjunction with a teraterm connection, but it would be nice if I could setup tytool correctly so that I dont need to establish the teraterm connection and type the ./tserver_mfs every time I want to use tytool.

Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance.

That's the way tytools works. You have to start tserver manually each time you want to extract files via telnet connection with TeraTerm or other terminal program. You can set up tserver to start automatically at bootup by placing the command for tserver in rc.sysinit.author if you really want to but I can't see why you'd want it to run all the time. The Tivo's processor is limited in capability and the more processes you have running the more it will get bogged down and slow performance.
