Storing JPEGs on my 330gig Tivo2 |
|
|
Hi,
I bought a Tivo Series 2 on ebay. It has a 330 gig hard drive and I
would like to use 100gig or so to store JPEG formatted photos. Is
there any way for me to do this? I have a home network and the Series
2 has HMO on it.
Any thoughts are appreciated....
Doug

No can do.
1) You can hack the TiVo to be an NFS client, but not an NFS server.
2) The disk partition where files are stored is only 128 MB. (The
large partition holds the propriatary database; not files.)
You'd be better off looking for a 120 GB disk in the $90 range.

what would happen if he used MFS_FTP to store this stuff
in the database? would it corrupt MFS or would it be
smart enough to just ignore it? |

MFS_FTP does not deal with files. The top-level directory is
a virtual menu presented as virtual directories (tmf, ty, ty+, xlm,
txt, bat, asx). Uploads have to be in a very specific format that
include auxillary database entries embedded in the data. JPEG files
dont match that criteria.
