Cannot transfer ReadyNAS content to TiVo
I've just bought a ReadyNAS Ultra 4 to use as a dedicated media server for a pair of TiVo units. This complements an existing ReadyNAS Duo I'm using for backup on non-video material. I'm having real d...
Based on your post I'm a little confused as to what you are doing with my content.
In my case I've had trouble on occasion when archiving from TiVo to NAS. If for some reason the archiving is interrupted like a scheduled file system check, the TiVo will only create some small sized files for the episode being recorded on the nas. The next time it tries to archive it won't archive those videos it didn't finish on. Even if I delete those small files that don't work or show up on the listing through the TiVo, it will still not archive. I've also tried changing the keep until date to something besides keep until I delete and putting it back to keep until...
It seems like there is some hidden file on the TiVo or nas that tells the TiVo whether or not these movies were archived. Apparently it does not tell the TiVo and/or nas that it was not successfully transferred. It's a little frustrating because my TiVo starts filling up and I have to resort to deleting some episodes I really want but don't have time to watch in order for it to keep recording.
I don't know if somehow your issue is in any way related to this but it's what's been happening to me on occasion.
I have already scheduled my power on/off schedule and drive maintenance to not conflict with the times the nas is archiving the TiVo so that the archive isn't interrupted.
