How to Send .ty Files back to DVR?

[OrionsHunter]

How do I send .ty files back to my 6.2 hacked DTiVo or is it possible?

Thanks!!

If use use mfs_ftp to extract you use it to send it back as well.

Not sure if you can send a file extracted with TyTool as well, never tried. If it does work, it'd probably be missing program information.

[OrionsHunter]

where is it FTPed to, that is, what folder?

[hayreass]

Notice I said mfs_ftp.

Files are stored in mfs, not in a folder.

You can't just ftp a .ty file back.

Research mfs_ftp, it'll become clear.

I can't find the latest version of this that works with a hacked 6.2 DTivo. Can you point me in the direction for the latest version?

Thanks!

Btw, I'm using TyTool to extract the video. How do I send the video back? I tried one version of mfs_ftp but it crashed. I am running a hacked 6.2 DTivo.

once mfs_ftp is running for 6.2 you need to comment all all event calls in mfs_ftp.tcl

search for evt and comment as as follows:


reset_control_socket
# event register $TmkEvent::EVT_DATA_CHANGED datachanged
}


restart mfs_ftp or box and insertions should work fine.

to send back as follows using windows command line ftp client or use any ftp client that has a sun solaris mode and can connect to port 3105 (one is my freeware port of ws_ftp32... email me if you need a copy)




C:\>ftp
ftp> open tivo1 3105
Connected to tivo1.
220 Mfs_Ftp ver 1.2.9Q - {sock196} from "xx.xxx.190.121:2374"

Password:

or

cd ty

ftp> put xxxx.ty

Thanks for your reply, but like I said earlier, the version of mfs_ftp that I have isn't working for 6.2. If gives me errors from inside the script itself. I have searched through various threads but I haven't really found an answer on how to make it run, at least something that I understand. I'm somewhat new to this and linux.

Thanks

Follow lgkahns advice above, and you should end up with a working copy of mfs_ftp

[OrionsHunter]

The script already says that.

Here is what I get when I run the script:


bash-2.02# tivosh mfs_ftp.tcl
bash-2.02# child process exited abnormally
while executing
"exec $info(path)/tzoffset.tcl 2>/dev/null"
(procedure "get_tzoffset" line 10)
invoked from within
"get_tzoffset"
(procedure "init_procs" line 7)
invoked from within
"init_procs"
(file "./mfs_ftp.tcl" line 1534)


Thanks again

The script already says what?

Since you seem to be having problems with tzoffset on a 6.2 system, what happens when you search for tzoffset and 6.2?

[lgkahn]

put this file there

tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$ cat tzoffset.txt
# <tzoffset>-18000</tzoffset>
set info(tzoffset) -18000
tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$
tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$


it looks like there is a bug in tzoffset.tcl for 6.2 if the file is not found..

ie

tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$ tzoffset.tcl
invalid attribute: DaylightSavingsPolicy
while executing
"dbobj $lconfig get DaylightSavingsPolicy"
("uplevel" body line 32)
invoked from within
"uplevel $body"
invoked from within
"transaction {uplevel $body}"
(procedure "RetryTransaction" line 5)
invoked from within
"RetryTransaction {
set swsystem [db $db open /SwSystem/ACTIVE]
set tivoswversion [dbobj $swsystem get Name]
set setup [db $db open /Setup]
if { [s..."
(procedure "get_tzoffset_one" line 3)
invoked from within
"get_tzoffset_one"
(file "./tzoffset.tcl" line 108)
tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$
tivo:/var/mfs_ftp$ ls

probably most people havnt' found this issue with 6.2 as they all have the tzoffset.txt file so it never calls the tcl


I will look at trying to fixing/patch it (if it is ok with reilly)

[OrionsHunter]

Put this file where?

I'm am using version 1.2.9p of mfs_ftp and I FTPed the s2bins.tar file as well and unzipped it into the mfs_ftp directory.

Here is what the mfs_ftp.tcl script itself says...(Most of the text has been removed.) What you suggested is in bold.



reset_control_socket
#event register $TmkEvent::EVT_DATA_CHANGED datachanged
}
proc CDUP { fsock } {
global info
outd 2 "CDUP"
set info(dir) "/"
tee $fsock "250 Directory change successful."
}

[OrionsHunter]

Ok, I FTPed the .txt file over to the mfs_ftp directory, and now the script runs and returns to the bash prompt. How do I then send a .ty file back? What directory do I sent it to?

Thanks

here is a patched tzoffset not sure it is correct but just has error handling so it doesn't fail if the call fails. (I checked and tzoffset is the same for P or Q versions of mfs_ftp)
