extraction problems

[rexxdell]

i get this error when i try to extract something form my series 2 tivo

Sorry... Failed to get the first 10 initial chunks...
Have to have at least that many to start the analysis phase...


DiffTime = 0.000000 (0) == 0.000000 Minutes

total = 1310720

I'm using tytools alpha 8 rel 3 using multiplex mode

I'm running kmem, at least it is in my hackinit, maybe it is not working correctly or something. Am i doing something wrong? Thank you

Usually means you are trying to extract a scrambled file.

You need to make certain that your kmem command is actually being executed during startup, and that you are patching the correct locations to disable scrambling. Because this location varies with different versions of the TiVo software, you need to tell us what software version is currently running on your TiVo.

Thanks for your help guys. I'm am using an hdvr2 runnning 3.1.0-01-2-151, using the hacked U5 image. I was also wondering if you could tell me when in my hackinit should i call kmem? Here is my current hackinit. Kmem is the last thing i am calling. I also have kmem located in my /var/hack/ dir. Is that correct? So once I have kmem working i will be able to use Tytools to get files in multiplex mode and make key files? Will i still be able to watch my previously recorded shows? I know i won't be able to burn them or transfer them over the my pc, i just hope i can still watch them on my tivo. Thank you.

the "console" argument on your tivoweb is killing you. the sleep and kmem won't get executed because the tivoweb command blocks (hangs). remove the "console" argument and i bet you'll be golden.

of course, anything you've recorded without the kmem won't be extractable.

Is the kmem command i am running correct for my tivo software version i am using? Thanks.

What do I need for version 3.1.1b-02-2-151. I am having the same problem.

Thank you

You need to ensure that you start kmem with a proper command for your OS, see above.

Reboot.

Check that you can't watch recordings made when kmem wasn't running while it is running.

Check that you CAN watch recordings made when kmem WAS running while it IS running.

Try both ways so you have no question WHEN kmem is properly running.

Enjoy your 'unscrambled' tivo.

post your hackinit so we can look at it. what is the size of you kmem? try downloading it in multiplex mode.
