Tivo not archiving - ReadyNAS Pro 4.2.15
(moved post from Streaming Services forum) I have enabled Tivo support. There are shows that have been set as Keep Until I Delete (KUID). I have confirmed this using the Tivo itself and Tivo Deskto...

On 4.2.15 on ultra4. After not getting any support from Netgear or this board about my bad file issues when two ethernet ports were connected (.tivo files were randomly not playable) - I disconnected one and everything works fine except for the kuid issue and also the problem if you delete from the tivo archive folder, the readynas will not redownload the file because it is in the internal database, I found the info below on the tivocommunity.com site. Hope this helps some of you until Netgear incorporates some of it in the gui and possibly adds a bit more features. I put the txt and csv files in my folder structure and they populated after restarting the archive time. Going to see if the pruning feature works so I can get my bad archives corrected. What gets me is that I found no mention of this feature - but I may have missed it in the faq's or somewhere. I put the files in media\Tivo\. Also I am running this with two Tivo's and they both are archiving to their own separate directories. (media\Tivo\DVR BD and media\Tivo\DVR HD1. Best of luck.
saa: your log shows an sql error missing a field named source_tivo. Here are the my downloaded headers from the file export.csv.
#SHOW_TITLE EPISODE_NO EPISODE_TITLE SOURCE_TIVO DURATION SERIES_ID PROGRAM_ID RECORDED_TIME ARCHIVAL_TIME
your db could be just missing the field or more likely there is some other things missing which may require a reinstall....

The evolution of the TiVo function on the ReadyNAS x86 line continues! At least one more bugfix, which was discovered too late to make it into the commit for the 4.2.14 full release of the ReadyNAS firmware. Plus some backdoor tools for the ReadyNAS TiVo function.
Here is a link to THE ReadyTiVo 1.3.1 software addon: http://www.readynas.com/download/add..._1.3.1-x86.bin
This version has support for dump.txt, prune.txt, export.csv, and import.csv. Export.csv and import.csv are introduced in this version of ReadyTiVo. Dump.txt and prune.txt were introduced in a previous version.
When the ReadyNAS begins an archive cycle, it looks in the configured root TiVo directory to see if any files called dump.txt or prune.txt or export.csv or import.csv exist.
If dump.txt exists and is less than 2 bytes, it copies the contents of the readytivo database into dump.txt, one line per database item (show). This lets you view the database contents for troubleshooting purposes, and it also enlarges dump.txt beyond 2 bytes so that the next archive cycle will ignore dump.txt until you zero it out again.
If prune.txt exists, the ReadyNAS will read each line of prune and remove the database item (show) from the database. It only looks at the program id number at the beginning of the line. All text beyond the program id is ignored. The line must begin with a number or it will be ignored. All database entries with that program id will be removed from the database (there should be only one entry per program id). You can simply copy a line from dump.txt and paste it into prune.txt. Prune.txt is deleted after it is processed.
If export.csv exists and is less than 2 bytes, the ReadyNAS will fill it with the contents of the database in a comma delimited format, one line per database item (show). Data field purpose: SHOW_TITLE, EPISODE_NO, EPISODE_TITLE, DURATION, SERIES_ID, PROGRAM_ID, RECORDED_TIME, ARCHIVAL_TIME.
If import.csv exists and contains comma delimited data, the ReadyNAS will import that data into the database.
dump.txt and prune.txt are to be used to remove database entries that are preventing a show from being archived again.
export.csv and import.csv are to be used when migrating shows from one ReadyNAS to another ReadyNAS.
