mfs_ftp not working. Newbie help please

[bluesky]

UK series 1 TiVo with LBA48 kernel and CacheCard:

I have just downloaded and installed mfs_ftp to /var/hack/mfs_ftp, and have run it from the command prompt with:

/var/hack/mfs_ftp/mfs_ftp.tcl 3105 foreground

The following is displayed:


06:56:09:PM - sourcing settings
07:56:11:PM - updating cached recording info
...................................
...................................

catch close lastsock val "can't read "info(lastsock)": no such element in array"


If I then ftp to port 3105 (using ws_ftp as it happens), the directory listing is displayed fine. i.e. all the tmf, ty, ty+ directories are displayed, but as soon as I click on any of the directories to view the contents my TiVo just crashes and I need to cycle the power to revive it.

Before crashing mfs_ftp outputs the following:


07:57:22:PM - 220 Mfs_Ftp ver 1.2.9p - {sock16} from "192.168.1.10:4401"

I'm stuck - means nothing to me :confused: Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Sorted :-)

Updated to the latest CacheCard/Network card driver (my drivers were over 1 year old), and I am downloading a tmf file as I speak - so all looks well :D

:(

Back to square one. I managed to download one tmf file. Then tried to change to the ty directory. It crashed the TiVo - exactly the same output as in my first post.

So it seems the problem is intermittent. Basically, as soon as I try to enter any of the ty, ty+, tmf folders - it crashes.

Here is my setup:

1) UK Series 1 TiVo, software 2.5.5
2) Latest CacheCard drivers
3) Latest mfs_ftp (download from this board)
4) LBA48 kernel
5) 32MB RAM
6) Dual 160GB discs

cat /proc/version gives:
Linux version 2.1.24-TiVo-2.5 (millert at xerxes dot courtesan dot com) (gcc version 2.8.1) #14 Wed Oct 8 12:06:25 MDT 2003

I have no other hacks installed.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Just rebooted and started again. This time when trying to go into the tmf directory mfs_ftp crashed with the following different dump:


bgerror invoked with error

" can't open object (0x00030007)
"

re-initializing mfs_ftp

close the current ftp connection and simply open another

"core dump" :p

I have two Tivos: one RCA (works great) and one Phillips (the problem).

I am new to Tivo but I have made some progress. The first thing I noticed when examining mfs_ftp.tcl was that it reads the directory structure into an array. This cache is refreshed on every listing. Then when a listing is requested mfs_ftp.tcl reads the cache and appends a single string with each show. I modified mfs_ftp.tcl to read the cache and print each row rather than appending a string. This enables me to get a few shows transfered before it crashes. My next step will be to modify mfs_ftp.tcl to restart after every show transfer.

Have you made any progress with your problem?
