In the quest to figure out how to add channel logos to my upgraded SVR-2000, I've run into a brick wall and I'm hoping someone here can point me in the right direction:

I have an upgraded TiVo (Sony SVR-2000)...reading various posts, I've gathered that apparently MFS tools doesn't quite back everything up correctly and so you typically end up with an empty logos database.

However, I didn't run into those posts before stumbling across a great Tivo logo resource site...so here's the situation:

I've grabbed dbload30.tcl and I've successfully loaded the uslogo.slice and uslogo2.slice.

Then, puzzled about why AddLogo.tcl didn't work and why I still didn't see my channels in tivoweb, I ran into the suggested solution of loading up logo-55.slice to reinitialize the logos database.

Finally, I tried to load logo-55.slice with dbload30.tcl and got an error every time:

dbload (0x30012)

Wondering if there would be anything in any of the log files, I discovered in /var/log/tverr:

Nov 9 08:37:56 (none) Database[160]: Duplicate index: /Resource/Image/disneychannel-s1-p1
Nov 9 08:37:57 (none) last message repeated 4 times
Nov 9 08:37:57 (none) db[160]: Loader err 0x30012 loading group item near item#=6 id=2447993 ty=22
Nov 9 08:37:57 (none) db[160]: Loader ProcessFile(logo-55.slice): Error Processing = 0x30012

This leads to wondering how to go about deleting all the logos I've just added...so from tivosh I try:

transaction { mfs unlink /Resource/Image/disneychannel-s1-p1 }

and I get:

can't unlink db object

Which leads me back to the subject of this post -- HELP!

What I think I need to do right now is to delete all the logos I apparently loaded up from uslogo.slice and uslogo2.slice so that I can get logo-55.slice to load successfully. Then, I think, I should be in good shape. Any help, advice, or reference would be greatly, greatly appreciated.

In case it's of any use, dumpobj on disneychannel-s1-p1 yields:

Image 277692/11 {
File = 277693
Format = 2
IndexPath = /Resource/Image/disneychannel-s1-p1 /Server/6200039
Name = disneychannel-s1-p1
ServerId = 6200039
ServerVersion = 3
Version = 1
}

I've also tried deleting it by ID (277692/11), but alas without success...all I get is an error that it can't delete the file.

Thanks,

HJD

I had the same exact problem as you with logos. I had loaded the uslogo1 and uslogo2 and could not get the add script to work then I came across the logo-55.slice file and still couldn't get it to load. I was convinced that it was because the logos I already imported was stopping it. Turned out that the problem was the logo-55.slice file that I downloaded was corrupted ( even though I downloaded it deveral times, must be corrupted on the sever). Ayways Someone who got it to work sent me the logo-55.Slice file that they used and it worked fine and deleted all the logos I previously loaded. PM me your email address and I will send you the slice file which has worked for me on several tivos as I do not think they would take kindly to me posting Tivo Slice files in this forum.

I'm pretty sure he is correct, it's not loading because of the image being there previously and having a different ServerId. The magic incantation is:

set db [dbopen]
RetryTransaction {
set obj [db $db openid 277692]
dbobj $obj markasrubbish
}

Now if you also ran AddLogo.tcl, there will also be an entry in /LogoGroup, but if you are just planning on loading a complete logo slice, that isn't a problem. But don't use this method if you are just trying to delete logos you added with AddLogo.tcl.

I'm running into exactly the same problem as HJD. I have some logo files already in /MFS/resource/image, but no logo dataset. When I try to run ./dbload30.tcl logo-55.slice (thanks deebo) I get the "dbload (0x30012)" error every time. Rerunning dbload30 with an uncorrupted logo-55.slice file does not get me around the problem.

Any ideas?

As far as the deletion attempt, if Lightn's suggestion didn't work, you could try setting the environment variable TV_ALLOW_UNLINK_DB_OBJ to 1 first:

code:
$ export TV_ALLOW_UNLINK_DB_OBJ=1
$ tivosh
% RetryTransaction {mfs unlink /Resource/Image/disneychannel-s1-p1}
%
