During scan - dlc showing up?

[mrdude 21]

Here you go:

 

http://rghost.net/56763313

 

I just had a look with a hex editor and found this:

 

\content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002ED485F61151DF878E35D6E6B2EE546D27D3FC83F45EA

 

Notice how the trailing slash is missing - \content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002

After the 2 there should be a \ to separate the dlc - I use the above dlc as an example, but when you look at the file I posted you'll see what I mean.

thats fine, those are 2 columns in the db, path "\content\0000000000000000\45410829\00000002" and file "ED485F61151DF878E35D6E6B2EE546D27D3FC83F45EA"

You can t really look at a db with a hex editor like that

Yes I know, I usually use SQLite Expert Professional to look at SQL databases, I was in a bit of a rush yesterday. I can see that the database has made with all the DLC added - I've no idea why - but I have deleted Aurora just now until the next alpha or beta comes out.

It's a good dash though and I can see it only getting better with time, but i'll stick to FSD3 just now as that works well for me. I'll no doubt come back to Aurora but it's too unstable for daily use just now (I know its alpha - don't take this to heart).

[mrdude 21]

Just an though but would this work:

Currently using a scan depth of 2 in "\content\0000000000000000\

Also scans the following folders: \GameID\ then......

00020000 - Gamerpics

00030000 - Themes

00080000 "now 000D0000" - Demos

00090000 - Videos

00004000 - Game Installs

00000002 - Extra Content (DLC)

00007000 - Games On Demand

000B0000 - Title Updates

000D0000 - xbla games

 

Obviously these all don't need to be scanned - as the database increases, and so does the download queue...

 

Why not just scan the following:

 

 

\content\0000000000000000\

scan depth 1 - then tell the database scanning program to just look in the relevant GOD,Installed games,TU's,XBLA  folders - and ignore the rest?

 

I think this would make more sense and wouldn't be too hard to code, it would also speed the scan up - as you guys have shown you are expert coders already.

We already do something like that (some folders are just ignored), that is why this bug is so strange. We have testers with rockband / guitar hero / etc dlc, and we have never encountered this.

 

Could you provide me one of the dlc files? a small one

[mrdude 21]

I've got a better idea, load the content.db I posted above into your sql program - (I use SQLite Expert Pro) - and pick any dlc you want. Ie something you already have. Tell me what we have in common and I'll post the md5 hashes of my dlc (the ones you want) - if mine and yours match, they are the exact same. This way you can test as much dlc as you want without me having to upload and you needing to download. Also is saves posting potentially illegal stuff on the site.

 

Just let me know the title id - and filename of the dlc (saves me searching for ages).

It's basically a good idea, but to prevent differences, the sources you both use, should be the same.

[Swizzy 2084]

It's basically a good idea, but to prevent differences, the sources you both use, should be the same.

That's why they'd be comparing the MD5 hash (or something similar)

Because, if a hash of the file is the same, well then the files are also identical identical files will of course come from the same source, or atleast behave exactly the same way...

Exactly...

 

To be honest it doesn't really matter if the dlc dosen't match either - the fact that it's getting picked up from the 00000002 folder's, shows that those folders are not being ignored during the scan.

k, cod blops 2 415608C3:

[mrdude 21]

Here you go:

 

96C87E4AB044B236F8A2272C65E8B7396172668A41 - MD5=a55b09f0ceaff66f61d3554a7d499c4c

I patched some of my COD DLC to make it Region free- I don't think these were patched though as they were region free to begin with. So MD5 should match yours.

The hashes match, I tried this:

 

1: Installed Aurora to root of xbox hard drive

2: Launched Aurora via fsd3 file manager

3: Settings - Set up unity connection

4: Added Path: Sript Data (NONE), Depth 2, \Xbox360\System\Hdd1\content\0000000000000000

5: Saved Path, Selected 'Scan Now'. (autoscan is also checked by default)

6: All DLC's showing up, got to 362 (xbox crashed), rebooted and started aurora.

7: Scan resumed automatically.

8: Total 'Games' shown to be found after scan = 1583 (Actual 360+Arcade Games Not including DLC = 191)

9: Scan still going - now download starts....... (4300+ items)

I also booted f3, installed aurora to root, set up unity connection, added the path like you said.

How were you able to do the 'Scan Now' with autoscan on? when scan is running I get our error message that it's busy when hitting Scan Now?

Mine did not crash (I dont have a large library of games, nor DLC) and none of the dlc showed up. I'm tempted to mark this as not replroducable, except you have already reproduced it twice....

i will try and dig further

[mrdude 21]

I've just deleted my Aurora folder + all it's contents. I'll try again with "Aurora 0.1A - Release Package - Hotfix #1" and see how that goes - i'll post back with my findings ok.

[mrdude 21]

OK just tried again - same results:

This is what I've done:

1: Started FsD (automatically via dashlaunch) on booting the xbox

2: Logged in via FTP and sent the Aurora 0.1A - Release Package - Hotfix #1 folder to the root of HDD1.

3: Renamed the folder to Aurora

4: All Aurora folders and files are chmod 777

5: Started Aurora.xex via FSD3 file manager

6: Gone to Settings/unity/ entered username and api key (via request).

7: Gone to Content scanning - unchecked auto scan, added path: \Xbox360\System\Hdd1\content\0000000000000000 depth 2, script data: None

8: Save scan path

9: selected 'scan now'

10: xbox starts scanning for content - immediately finds 'optional media update', once again all DLC is found.

 

I've got a slim xbox 360 with 4gig memory (trinity) & running a demon slim and protov2. I've added a 1TB hard drive, 16gig usb drive (formatted to work with original nand) & kinect connected.

Thanks for trying again. I followed these steps as well and can not reproduce it. It will stay on the list to look at though.

Ok just so you know I'm not having you on, here's a screenshot of the current scan:

 

[MaesterRowen 14]

I think i know the problem-

Using your FTP or some way to access your xbox file system, rename your Hdd1\content\0000000000000000 path to Hdd1\Content\0000000000000000

Critical part being 'content' to 'Content'

I believe I found some code that isn't taking character case into account.

Once the folder is renamed, please do a fresh install of Aurora and scan as you would normally. If it works as intended, I'll include the fix in our next update.

Bugger, the ftp program and xbox won't let me change the folder name - probably because that folder is in use by the xbox360. I've got a 360 transfer cable and Phat HD caddy somewhere, I'll try hooking the drive up to my PC and changing the folder name that way - via party buffalo or Xplorer360.

I'll post back later on with my results.

Try renaming it to something like Content_ first then back to Content, that might solve the problem...

Yeah I have tried that, no joy though - it's not a big deal. I was thinking I could just remove the drive from the 360 and put in a USB sata caddy - then rename as mentioned above - that would probably work fine.

Yep that's the problem. I hooked the slim drive up to a usb caddy, then used party buffalo to access the drive file system, renamed content to Content. Installed and run everything exactly as before - this time No DLC is showing up.

Phew - at last, the problem is solved.

 

Thanks for taking the time to look at your code, and that was much faster at scanning - now the download queue is 3000+ files smaller, and the dash loads faster.

You thanks for testing, little buggers like this are hard when nobody here can reproduce them

In a next release, the caps won't matter anymore.

LOL - just rename you Content folder to content - only joking! Thanks

[saywaking 289]

You could have used xexmenu (or dashlaunch) to rename, i guess. Intresting finding tho, good you saw that.

I tried both of these as well m8 - the folder was in use so it didn't work - probably because some files in the Nands dashboard access that folder, I needed to access via my computer with the drive not in the xbox360. That way the folder was not in use, and could be renamed.

The problem is solved  now though - I guess the same bug is in FSD3 - as well, as I deleted my FSD3 folder and reset it up - that was also much faster at scanning and now starts faster - with less files to download once the scan was complete. I just never noticed before.
