Hi there, I'm getting the same error with the latest slice, the previous two worked fine for me..(I've only had my Tivo up and running for few days)
Hi there,
After spending an instructive few hours setting up my Tivo today I've hit a snag with loadguide. Running it from the console produces the following:
dbload (0x3000d)
while executing
dbload $db $file"
(file ".dbload.tcl" line 20)
The slice has downloaded with no problems and is correctly located in /var/hack/guide. I've done a search on the oztivo mailinglist archives, the problem has occured for others, and relates to the slice having been transferred in ascii rather than binary mode. Having looked at loadguide and noticed it was using wget. I thought I could force the connection to the server to be binary however this doesn't seem to be a feature for http transfers.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or have a soln?
Cheers
B

It could be a slice problem then, Tim can you comment?
I'm having no problem loading the no-nag slice which has come from the same website via http, but I did open and save that using nano. My Tivo spits the dummy if I try to do that with the nztivo.slice (to big I guess)
EDIT Just some additonal info, If I click on the "live TV" button, there certainly appears to be guide data there. Though "curling" shows up a lot!

hmm Jaidev used a newer version of wtwriteguide to make the slice so maybe that has something to do with it...
Any suggestions for troubleshooting this? I've tried several times and always get the same error (after lengthy processing)..
I have exactly the same error.Originally Posted by Benji

Well slightly different but same error (perhaps I'm using a different image to you?) I thought my re-image was incorrect.. perhaps it isn't.
the slice is bad. everyone i talk to says its bad. Jaidev messed up. havent spoken to him since he made that slice, have been manually loading my slices for the last 3-4 weeks since lending out my turbonet and I hadn't loaded the latest slice.
sorry guys...
Hmm ok I'll look into it...
Please direct all guide data problems to the NZ Guide Data section, thanks...
Sorry I think I screwed up and uploaded it in ASCII
heh anyway a new slice is up so off you go..
b.t.w please report NZ guide data problems either on the forums or the
NZ mailing list.
I have also found issues with ISP's running transparent proxy cache's,
it's never been an issue till now, since there is a corrupt slice, which
you would have already downloaded, doing another request for the slice
(as it has the same name) will download the corrupt one from the ISP's
cache. I know Paradise have a transparent cache.
The only way I have found to get around it is, to modify the URL by
putting parameters in the URL i.e. http://www.urltodownload.com?%3
Or wait till the file expires in the ISP's cache, not sure how long, few
days
You could also ring your ISP and ask if they can exclude the url from
being cached.
cheers

The new slice worked fine, thanks!
One question, every time I run loadguide I get this (apparently non-fatal) error:
04/08:07:13:43: /hack/bin/sendtivomail.tcl: Creating NZ Sky UPDATED Message...
04/08:07:13:43: /hack/bin/sendtivomail.tcl: Calling event send 23 DATA_MESSAGES 0
Failed to read from get_postalcode pipe: Protocol wrong type for socket
Does anyone know what this means?
TIA, Bruce.
