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...
Thanks shallow_sport for the replies.
When I said that I've used the TiVo desktop software to archive the material to the NAS, I meant that I've been using the PC-based software available from TiVo to copy the video from the TiVo to the PC (in this case the NAS). In other words, not using the "Archive TiVo videos to:" configuration in the "Services/Streaming Services" page of the NAS frontview to transfer content. So I guess the NAS doesn't know the content is there until it does a scan (which I manually initiated).
As you have figured, it also seems to me that the NAS must maintain some kind of hidden content registration. So you got me thinking that there may be some issue if the NAS isn't used in the first place to archive content from the TiVo. I'll initiate some archiving this evening and see if it makes any difference.
By the way, unlike your situation the .tivo video files on the NAS are not smaller segments of the original TiVo content, they are on the NAS in their entirety since I can play them on the PC directly off the NAS. It's only trying to get them back to the TiVo that they don't get transferred in their entirety (in fact the transfer initiates but terminates almost immediately).
