![]() ![]() I’m redoing the downloads with the Default format overnight. Both the the failed shows are in my iTunes library so they must have downloaded OK when I first recorded them. Two of the successful downloads show H.264 (once again a different two than the failures). Four of fourteen downloads failed (two were successful on the first reschedule, the other two failed every reschedule). The Fox channel (KSTW) show both the “Use TS” and “H.264” boxes clear. Five of the shows show as H.264 (no overlap with the ones that failed) Five of the twenty-three downloads failed. I checked one that was H.264 and one that was not but didn’t see any issue with either. All of these shows had been previously downloaded and encoded without an issue that I can recall. The H.264 column on the TiVo list shows a mix of “-“ and bold checkmarks. In the case of the PBS station (KCTS), the channel preferences list doesn’t show it as an H.264 station and the “Use TS” has a dash in it. I ran it against my existing recordings for my local PBS and Fox channels. If it stays mixed (as I"m seeing sometimes), it will use the last show it downloaded as a reference for how to try the next one, but will retry if that was wrong. So if a channel is one or the other, no problem if it has one show the other way, then it will switch, but then switch back. Now it also checks for that other direction MPEG2 over TS and downloads the show properly over PS. The previous algorithm would see H.264 (which always fails over PS), and switch all future downloads to TS, which sometimes corrupts MPEG2 downloads. What I'm seeing is that's true for most channels, but not all. The previous versions assumed that each channel would migrate from all MPEG2 to all H264. Sort by Station, and you'll see any mixed Exactly: Most. Each tested show will now have either - for MPEG2 or a ✔(dark check) in the H.264 column.It's very quick per show, but it has to wait a minute in between to not upset the TiVo downloader, so it'll do 50-60 shows per hour. Hit Download (or Add to Queue), and let it run.I'd turn off Folders, turn on Suggestions, and sort by Channel. Select the shows you'd like to test, e.g.In Preferences>General, turn off: Add Captions, Cut Commercials and Mark Commercials.In Edit>Edit Formats, select Test PS, click "Show in User Interface" and then "Save".Now the "Test Selected Channels" button in Edit Channels will only do one show per channel, but you can do it manually: PBS: KOPBDT and CW: KRCWDT here on Comcast Portland).Įasiest way to check it is to use the Test PS format. In my recent testing, I see the mixed phenomenon primarily on the HD versions of local channels (e.g.
