pyTivo is both an HMO and GoBack server. Similar to TiVo Desktop pyTivo loads many standard video compression codecs and outputs mpeg2 video to the TiVo. However, pyTivo is able to load MANY more file types than TiVo Desktop.
Previously, using -bsf would sometimes give an error for an unsupported codec (e.g., ac3 for h264_mp4toannexb, since h264_mp4toannexb is intended only to repack H264 video from an mp4 file). Using of the ":v" suffix isolates the use of the bitstream filter to only the video stream as the code really intended.
