tivoapp patches

[chris0583]

Looking to keep my PPV's Like i have with my older T60's. They auto delete after 24 hours.

[jt1134]

ah ok

the 24 hour auto-delete is a feature of newer software, and unrelated to the old school NoPPV patch

[chris0583]

any way to "disable" this feature?

[kmt]

Do any of the patches have an effect on the Amazon rentals?

[jt1134]

nope

what kind of effect are you referring to? auto-expire?

Here are tivoapp patches that can be used in place of the current NoCSO patch to disable the encryption of new recordings while still allowing MRV transfers of existing encrypted recordings.

I finally got around to trying this. The system boots fine, but the first thing I tried for 2 patched tivoHD units, copying an encrypted show from the other Tivo failed and rebooted

It asked if I want to transfer this recording. I clicked it, and 7 seconds later, bam reboot on rcving machine

THis was my patch batch file. I did check every item was the old value using hexdump before attempting patch

Now the really bad news

The receiving Tivo rebooted. But now it is in a reboot loop.

It reboots, the welcome startup screen (Powering up, few minutes more) comes up, then the cute startup video, and 3-4 seconds into it, it reboots again.

I am assuming it is something failed in MFS check or something.

So.......

1) How can I find out what is failing?
2) Even if I can find out what is failing, is there any way to fix it?

I remember the kickstart that used to fix it.
Green screen stuff and an mfscheck comes to mind.

Any ideas how to get this working again?

3) Thinking about it, it could be failing over and over in the new patch. If sees an incomplete file and runs through the patch code to resume the transfer and dies again. I have not been able to keep it up long enough to put back the correct tivoapp

Might have to pull the drive to rename them.

Ideas?

[jt1134]

1) How can I find out what is failing?

kernel log should contain the crash dumps which may hold some clues. tvlog and tverr should also have some information showing where exactly in the code it is failing

2) Even if I can find out what is failing, is there any way to fix it?

there usually is

I would humbly suggest to continue troubleshooting in a new thread, to keep the clutter out of this one, though

I know this is late to the party, but, I've had something similar to this. The receiving tivo has the transfer req in the todo list. you need to remove it from there. either quick enough via the tivo ui or with scripting done before it tries to start the transfer. try disconnecting it from the network and see if it still reboots.
