Video Extraction issues

**razza** · 30-06-2006, 04:41 PM

Ok I still have not successfully extracted anything off my Tivo yet

1. I have tried mfsstream via tivoweb with no avail. Someone suggested to upgrade to tivowebplus, I did that and still the same thing. Basically I click on the title I want to download and it downloads a 0Kb file. I've read through threads on dealdatabase and a lot of people are having the same issue with no resolution. I thinking maybe it has something to do with router config or the fact we use a series 1 tivo?

2. So now I have tried tytool and everything setup fine and connected until I try to download something. I can delete shows perfectly fine but when I click get tytool basically hangs and just sits there doing nothing.

3. I have yet to try mfs_ftp but would like to know why the first 2 haven't worked yet

Any suggestions will be appreciated!

P.S Is it documented anywhere what the actual oztivo image includes? Like what apps, shortcuts, modules etc...

MFS_FTP is by far the easiest and most reliable way of transfering shows to/from the TiVo as it uses a fairly standard protocol and works well for the majority of users (most FTP clients will also display the transfer speed and ETA which is also nice).

I think my issues have been due to my router and not forwarding the associated ports. I have mfs_ftp running now (had to port forward 3104 and 3105 to Tivo for it to work) although it keeps timing out randomly. Maybe an issues with my ftp client so still looking into it.

I pretty much only use mfs_ftp. If your having dropouts, I recommend using Putty as the client. It's stable and also handles FXS transfers for TiVo-Tivo use.

I have tried every ftp client known to man and I can never complete a transfer. It will start off and stay constant at like 1mb/s and then it just all of sudden randomly goes to 0mb/s and transfer is terminated. When I try to start it again or reconnect it won't let me and I have to reboot the tivo. Any ideas?
