xtreme upgrade (v3.1.0 and v2.5.2) now available

[gregjsmith]

1dave1, I had the same problem. There is a suggestion earlier in the thread (the size of this thing has become a little unruly hasn't it?) to do a reset on the guide data and it erases your recordings. Once I did that the Locals came in loud and clear.

On a unrelated note. I noticed my DTivo crashes about once a week. Whatever is on the screen will continue to play but it won't respond to the remote or button on the unit.

Here is the rc.net file you requested.
DeTer


#!/bin/bash
# Copyright (c) 2001-2002 TiVo Inc.
#

if [ "$DEBUG_BOARD" != true -o "$dhcp" == true ]; then
if detectDynamicNet; then
# mkdir -p /var/state/dhcp
# /sbin/dhclient -q "$DYNAMIC_NET_DEV" 2>/dev/null &
/sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.150 up
fi
fi

/etc/rc.d/rc.remote-login &

Okay, one difference I noted immediately is that the netmask is missing from your ifconfig statement. Also, you need to use net0 in v2.5.2 and eth0 in v3.1. You may have the wrong rc.net for your rc.sysinit. Check your versions caarefully to see which ones should go together. Which version are you getting these files from? Here is my v2.5.2 rc.net (turbonet):

#!/bin/bash
# Copyright (c) 2001-2002 TiVo Inc.
#

# THE FOLLOWING LINES ARE FOR DHCP
#if [ "$DEBUG_BOARD" != true -o "$dhcp" == true ]; then
#  if detectDynamicNet; then
#    mkdir -p /var/state/dhcp
#    /sbin/dhclient -q "$DYNAMIC_NET_DEV" 2>/dev/null &
#  fi
#fi

# THE FOLLOWING LINES SET UP STATIC IP
detectDynamicNet
ifconfig net0 192.xxx.xxx.2 netmask 255.255.255.0 up

/etc/rc.d/rc.remote-login &

On my v3.1.0 DTivo with cachecard, my rc.net looks like this:

#
#!/bin/sh
#

if /sbin/insmod -f /lib/modules/turbonet2.o macaddr=00:0B:AD:69:C6:67 debuglevel
=3 ; then
        export DYNAMIC_NET_DEV=eth0
        /sbin/ifconfig eth0 192.xxx.xxx.3 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
        /sbin/route add default gw 192.xxx.xxx.14
fi

# Start xPlusz
/etc/rc.d/rc.remote-login &

As for your rc.sysinit, yours matches my v3.1 version except for the last line. I changed mine when I found a comment somewhere about the default exec statement leaving a shell opened. That may be the real source of the problem. But I'm only guessing at this point. I know my setup works perfectly. Here's the last few lines of my rc.sysinit:

[ ! -f /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author ] || /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.author

# CALL_ALL_NIGHT
if  [ -f /tvlib/tcl/tv/allnight.tcl ]; then
    echo "Firing off call test"
    /tvbin/tivosh /tvlib/tcl/tv/allnight.tcl
fi
# END CALL_ALL_NIGHT

echo "rc.sysinit is complete"

# keep this at the very end
# exec < /dev/ttyS3 >& /dev/ttyS3; bash --login

/bin/bash --login < /dev/ttyS3 >& /dev/ttyS3 &

Oh, and you can't use the Xupgrade CD to revert a v3.1 install to a v2.5 or v2.5.2 install. You have to start over by restoring the v2.5 image and then Xupgrade to v2.5.2.

Jerry,

Thanks for the reply.....I have re xtremed and am now back to 2.5.1 and all is well. Thanks for the help.

Well it seems that when I run the RESET GUIDE DATA it always hangs at 28%, I have left it for hours. The only way to get out is to reboot via link or pull the plug. At that time it will hang at 28% again, after 3 or 4 power downs the unit will go on thru the boot up process and work.

I am thinking about just wiping everything and go back to version 2.5 After that doing the upgrade to 2.5.2 Heck it has been fine for 3 years at 2.5 with no problems. No that the locals are avalible, it wouldnt get them.

I hate to wipe everything because I have some shows that I really want to keep from 3 years ago, Is there any way to back them up and put them on the new install?? (Its the same machine)
ANY ONE have any suggestions? Please respond

28% unplug the sat imputs 1 screen before and choose correct later.

ald shows mfs-ftp

Have couple of gxcebot tivos; never used xtreme upgrades though, just mfsftp, tivowebplus and couple other utilities.

Machines now at 3.1.0c2, will the 3.1.0 xtreme upgrade work for the c2 release?

-------------
Edit: I learned enough about xtreme to know the above was a stupid question, never mind!

[UnionYes]

superzap;

do you intend on upgrading your xplusz to the later versions of the 3.1 software?

if so, i was wondering if and when we can expect this

thanks for all the hard work

UnionYes

I have decided to put my old series1 back into use. I need an image of a virgin os and also a link to someplace where I can get xtreme. I can not find it anymore and all the posts in this forum that refer to it are from 2003. Is Xtreme dead? has something replaced it?

Thanks

Declan

[ace351]

for the application that i have for it, guide data will not be required
as long as i can get it to record on command.

so will it work ?
