New program for 1 step TTG downloads, decryption, encoding - kmttg

[az1097]

I'm using v1p0a. When I try to remote schedule a specific show why does it say "RPC error response: 0x30001"?

It will probably fail if you try and schedule same show on TiVo itself as well. How far out is it? If it's 11+ days away it may be an entry that's not unavailable on TiVo local guide listings yet.

I did not schedule the same show on the Tivo and using kmttg, I'm able to schedule recordings past that particular one which fails even where there are no other scheduled programs in that time slot.

It happens - a discrepancy between RPC listings and local guide listings most likely. If you use the iOS or Android apps to try and schedule same program most likely it wouldn't work either since they use same scheduling mechanism kmttg is using.

When I try to get listings for any channel, for the past few hours, I get "RPC error response: The middlemind connection is currently down".

The TiVo servers are down.

Hello-
I've been using kmttg for over 4 years and it is great. My Tivo is a Premiere XL. I just upgraded my cable plan to include more than basic service, so I've suddenly got a lot more stuff to archive. Unfortunately, I've also started having an occasional problem with only partial recordings transferring from my Tivo via kmttg. What I see is about 1.4 GB of the recording making it across before the transfer just stops. These are recordings from non-premium stations.

For example, there's been a marathon of episodes of a show that I've been recording and transferring from my Tivo to my PC. I've successfully used kmttg to move over 80 episodes of that one show to my PC. However, one episode refused to completely transfer. Hour episodes are about 5 GB, but only a bit over 1 GB or so of that episode was transferred.

From another channel I tried to transfer a movie, but only 1.4 GB of the 10 GB made it. Other movies from this channel transfer just fine.

I've tried every combination of kmttg options I can think of that might help. That includes, Curl and Java downloads, transfer as a transport stream or not, decoding with VRD or tivodecode, and probably other things. I've made sure that the Tivo was not recording anything at the time I was trying to transfer.

I've also tried using the patched version of the most current version of Tivo Desktop. That has never failed me before, but on at least two occasions it acted exactly the same as kmttg.

This is not a huge problem, but it is a vexing one. I'd like to be able to archive complete seasons of a show and watch them as time allows. These partial downloads make that difficult.

I did a quick search of this thread and don't see a solution to my problem. Hopefully, I just described the problem differently and someone knows what I should do to solve it.

Thanks in advance,
Tim

Hyrax, there's really nothing you can do about partial transfers for Premieres anymore. The problem is on TiVo http server side for recordings with certain "glitches" in them, so whatever software you use to transfer will have same problem. It used to be with kmttg you could use "Resume Downloads" option to so you could skip past the "glitch" and set a pause point and then download from pause point. But 20.3.1 software update for Premieres broke that capability, so now there's no good workaround I know of short of recording the show again on the TiVo.

If you have more than 1 TiVo in the house then you can play games such as skipping past the problem point and using MRV resume to transfer to another TiVo, then download that partial recording via kmttg. However if you only have 1 TiVo then you are basically SOL.

Thanks for the reply, moyekj.

I used to have a TivoHD, but gave it to a relative who is currently not using it. I'll try to get it back and see what MRV does.

If I were to use the TivoHD instead of the Premiere to record these marathons, would it allow me to use kmttg's resume feature?

Yes, that feature still works for series 3 TiVos (there are no further software updates for series 3 to break anything anymore).
