Auto transfers not working

[Peter Miller]

I'm running Tivo Desktop Plus 2.6.2 and everything is working fine except it isn't auto transferring anything to either of my TiVo's. Manual transfers work fine.

I'm using this batch file to recycle the tivo server:

"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\TiVo Shared\Transfer\tivotransfer.exe" /stop
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\TiVo Shared\Beacon\tivobeacon.exe" /stop
"%ProgramFiles%\TiVo\Desktop\tivoserver.exe" /stop
"%ProgramFiles%\TiVo\Desktop\TiVoNotify.exe" /stop
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL

del "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Tivo Desktop\Cache\*.cache"
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL


"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\TiVo Shared\Beacon\tivobeacon.exe" /start
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL
"%ProgramFiles%\TiVo\Desktop\TiVoNotify.exe" /start
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL
"%ProgramFiles%\Common Files\TiVo Shared\Transfer\tivotransfer.exe" /start
ping -n 5 127.0.0.1 >NUL
"%ProgramFiles%\TiVo\Desktop\TiVoServer.exe" /start

The batch file works except when tivoserver.exe is stopped the following error window appears:

When I click OK the batch file continues to the end and the TiVo server is back up and running.

Any ideas what could be causing that error window? I'm guessing it's the reason auto-transfers aren't working.

Your title starts out good, but the rest of your message goes off into "lala land". Why are you using a batch file to restart the tivo services? Why do you think they need to be restarted at all?

You should be trying to figure out why the auto transfers are not working, not how to best slam the services with a sledgehammer hoping that will somehow fix the problem.

First, describe here what you are doing and why you think auto transfers are not working. Describe the steps you are taking to set them up and which shows you are trying to transfer. Are they repeats being replayed or first runs? How are they scheduled? Manually, recurring, season pass... what?

The only service I could see "stopping and restarting" is the tivoserver service like every 24 hours... to cap the memory leak. otherwise ya, I dont' get it? TiVo Server and Transfer need to be running for auto-transfers to happen. My guess is try leaving the services running for a while, check if you have any ports in your firewall blocked, etc.

TivoServer.exe gives everyone (just about...) an error of some kind (I get "not enough memory to something-or-other") when its exited, probably because the tivo programmers never expected people to be turning it off.
