TiVo Bolt backup still not working

A few months ago I complained that backups weren't working for my TiVo Bolt.

 

A few weeks ago a firmware update claimed to fix problems with the TiVo Bolt.

And in fact it seemed like it was working better because now it could at least

see the TiVo Bolt.

 

However, it still isn't backing up recordings.

 

If I run "readytivod -d", here's what the debug output shows:

It seems to just skip over recordings in the same way that it skips TiVo Sugggestions

on my TiVo Roamio (which is being backed up correctly).  Any idea what's wrong?

 

It seems like there's still a problem here.  I wish I could get the source code to readytivod

so I could debug it myself..

    Hello bshannon,

     

    What firmware version are you using with the NAS? I heard that 6.8.0 will have ReadyDLNA update. Have you tried the BETA version?

     

    Regards,

      I'm using 6.7.5.

       

      Where do I find the 6.8.0 beta version?

        I installed the 6.8.0 beta and rebooted.

         

        No change in behavior; my TiVo Bolt recordings are still not backed up.

         

        What should I try next?
