Ultra 4 no longer archiving Tivo files
As of 2/16, my Ultra 4 has been unable to successfully transfer any Tivo files. Nor can I via Web or Tivo Desktop. According to the Tivo Community Forums, this appears to be a widespread problem, evid...
OK, I got hit by this Tivo bug, but didn't notice it until yesterday. I installed the patch, and archiving is working again, but I still don't fully understand how to rearachive the shows that didn't archive properly the first time. (many of my shows are of course lost forever since I deleted them from the tivo, but others are still available on the tivo hard drive)
If I delete the bad 1 KB .Tivo and.nfo files from the readynas by mounting the tivo share on a windows PC, deleting the files from Windows, and then telling the tivo to rescan the database, this doesn't do it. The shows don't seem to rearchive.
Do I need to create a dump.txt file on the Readynas, and manually copy the shows I wish to rearchive to a new file called prune.txt? This will take a while for me to do, I imagine, because I will have to manually select the entries corresponding to the shows that "archived" since Feb 16. Unless there is a way to sort dump.txt by date or file size, this may be time consuming. (I haven't tried it yet). Is this what is necessary?
In the future is there a way to fully delete an archived show from Readynas other than by using a text editor and playing with the dump.txt and prune.txt files?
Thanks!!
