I was afraid this would be the case. Thank you for making it clear Lordbyte. And yes, I will know better next time! :)

Now I must go and grieve on my losses..200gb+ down the drain :(

@hallo2359

1. Verify that you in fact HAVE a working root. Test using any telnet client (I use Putty myself), and verify access.
(also execute a few root-requering commands, and watch them succedde .. or fail).

2. Make sure the keydumper on TV has executable rights (chmod +x libPVRDumpKeys.so in /mtd_rwcommon/).
The PVRDecoder fails to set executable rights in some environments .. the +X flag was supposed to have been
set at the time the library was uploaded to TV .. but several fails to do that has been registered .. unfortunately.

3. Enable errorcodes in PVDDecoder (in Settings), and tell me the last 2-3 errorcodes you see, before final message
about "unable to retrieve xxxxxxxxxx.key ....."

4. TEST: In PVRDecoder, select "Extract all keys to [whatever]" .. Paste log of that operation .. did keys get created ?

5. Tell us what you experience in above 4 steps, so we may help you along ... :-)

In PVR Decoder, telnet connection failed.
The connection with Windows telnet failed.
The connection with FTP works.

@hallo2359

It seems you have partial root .. FTP-access is indeed part of the package,
but without telnet-access you havent got full root, and the PVD-Decoder NEEDS telnet-access
to extract keys, and other management-functions.

Re-root TV, and verify telnet-access, before trying to make PVRDecoder work :-)

I didn't have any problem with decoding recordings till today. The problem is that I can't receive the key from TV. No trouble with copying .srf file. FTP access in filezilla works fine.
model: F6500, FW: 1120

Here is what I can see after click 'extract all keys to PC':

No idea. But as it USED to work, and then now it DOSENT, we should look for a change somewhere ..

Maybe your router needs a reboot ..
Maybe your TV needs a reboot ..

You should make sure your USB-media is OK .. Try making a fresh 45-sec recording, and check if that decodes better in the PVR-Decode.

Did you upgrade "something" ?

Will an alternative PC do better ?
Will an alternative router do better ?
Will an alternative TV do better ?

Answers to those questions will help you isolate the issue :-)

Oh, and read my answer(s) to the questions asked just before your own question in this thread, - about verifying Telnet-access.
FTP-access alone is not enough. You may need to re-root, if Telnet dosent function correctly.

Best of luck !

I changed the path for TV working tool-directory from /mtd_rwcommon to /mtd_rwarea and now it's working! I can receive keys and decode as well! Thanks!
I'm wondering what was the reason of this issue?

@iT00NZ,

If you read further back in this thread, you will see that the /mtd_rwcommon-issue is well known,
and that /mtd_rwcommon was a bad choice on my part. It was selected fairly randomly as I knew basically
nothing about the TV (I am a simple PC hobby developer).

If I ever release an update of the PVRDecoder, I will be sure to default to /mtd_rwarea
