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...
Create 0byte files dump.txt, prune.txt, export.csv, and import.csv and place in your base tivo folder. Restart the archive process during which the files will be updated. Copy the program id numbers from the export.cvs file and paste it into the prune.txt file. Stop and restart the archive process again which will take the programs in prune.txt and take it out of the main database. Tried it this morning and it works fine. My bad archived shows have restarted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
