Problems with mfs_export

[anddmx2001]

Actually, this has tripped me up before too.

As you probably already know, these entries on the NowShowing page 
match what is one your Tivo. The first entry here, "694764 tyDb 
A:88255:20801:694764" in your case, will match the latest recording 
that was made by Tivo. (If you went into the NowShowing on your Tivo, 
this would be the first item on the list.) 

What you want to do now, is get the actual FSID's used for the 
recording. This can be accomplished fairly easily. (Although I wish 
getting FSID's on Tivoweb was easier)

First, click on the entry that you would like to get the FSID for. 
Then, the Tivoweb software will take you to another screen. On that 
screen, about 2/3's of the way down, you will see a "Part=" variable. 
You will see multiple entries on this line. Click the first hyperlink 
in the list, and a new screen will pop up. On this page, you will see 
a "File=" variable. This is your first FSID value. *Repeat this 
procedure for each item in the "Part=" line.* This is how you can get 
the FSID's off Tivoweb.

Somewhat of a pain compared to the old httpd software, but you can 
get the correct information off. Hope this is of help to you.
