I searched the thread, but couldn't locate my answer. How do you set up the auto extract? How does TySuiteJ know what has and has not been previously extracted? ie. a new show in NowShowing. Thanks.

If a program exists that can get shows from the tivo to the computer in mpeg format on a scheduled basis then I can handle it from there. I'm not familiar with TySuiteJ. I used to use Tytool.

I've been away from the extraction forums for a LONG time. Seems like lots of new and exciting things around here. I was curious. How is everyone automating processes? For example you wake up in the...

I plan on using the newest mfstools from hinsdale. I'm going to give those two command lines a try. Like I said earlier, we won't have much time to do this, so I need to get it right the first time.

I did miss that '19999' when reading Hinsdale. That's why I posted the string I plan to use.


mfsbackup -f 19999 -6so /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc

mfsrestore -s 127 -xzpi /mnt/dos/tivo.bak...

Why did you go back? Audio dropouts or something else?

Verifying the command depending on ide hookup:

mfsbackup -f 9999 -6so /mnt/dos/tivo.bak /dev/hdc

This save the tivo.bak to my windows computer for later use

Then I connect his drive and do...

It's actually my father's HD-Tivo that is failing. He doesn't live near me, but will be coming to visit and wants to get it fixed. We won't have much time to do it though. I have an HD-Tivo also. I...

Thanks for the answer. What kind of time is it going to take to do the mfsbackup and then the mfsrestore? I am replacing the 250gb drive with another 250gb drive possibly from another manufacturer....

I have an hr10-250 with a failing hard drive. I simply want to replace this hard drive with a new hard drive. If I use mfstools will the new drive have all of my hacks in place or do I need to do a...

I went ahead and ran the script. We'll see what happens.

I ran the one hondaman posted at tcf.

Alphawolf,

There was mention of a little script you wrote to modify the Showcases to download the slices instead. I have the file 'add63.tcl', but need a little direction to get going . I searched...

I had an HR10-250 that I did all of the manual hacks to including setting up networking. I gave this box to a family member and now have a 2nd HR10-250. I hacked this one, but the same usb-ethernet...

THANK YOU!

I had to watch my spacing in my commnds . I got it copied and have access again. :)

Thanks again to all!

I had my hacks in /hack a folder that I created. It is not in another sub-folder.
I'm not sure how to mount the /install folder. Before the upgrade I was in hda7 now I am hda4. Seems like the...

I have an HD-Tivo. I just upgraded the software and in the process I lost a few files. The main one I needed was tivoftpd. I have ethernet bash, but can't get bash via serial. All I need to do is get...

Well, I went ahead and dove in.

I am now at 3.1.5f and have bash and the other stuff without pulling the drive.

:)

I guessed I might get a bad response on posting questions from a guide. I have been searching and I think I have found my answers. Basically, I can start the update manually by running installSw.itcl...

How do you get the unit to go to 'Pending Restart' status without forcing a call? I realize it is a bad idea. I was looking at this How-To guide to install an update without pulling the drive. Here...

I have been unable to get my HDTivo to force a call. I keeps failing at the negotiating stage. I am going to try to get a DSL filter and put it on the line. Not sure what else to try.

I may give this a try. Reading up on it first

If I force a legit call will I lose bash? I know I will lose my other hacks. I guess I need to check to see if the slices are there first. Just curious if I will have to pull the drive after the...

I am still at the orginal software. No D, E or F. If I want to upgrade do I need to connect a phone line and place a call? I have no idea why I haven't received the updates. I have bash and...

DocTauri,

Were you able to do anything with 3.1.5f on your HR10-250? Or anything else with it yet?

Thanks

I would definitely ping the router.
I am still not sure what the best way to set up a ping is.

I just added this line to my rc.sysinit.author:

ping -i 30 my.gateway.router.ip >/dev/null &
