---Description

pyTivo lets you stream most videos from your PC to your unhacked tivo. It uses the HMO server protocol. It will guess if your video is 4:3 or 16:9 and pad your video if it thinks it is needed. It will not transcode an mpeg that is supported by your tivo.

---Requirements

OS = Anything that will run python and ffmpeg, which I think is anything. Known to work on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows.

Python - http://www.python.org/download/

• You need at least version 2.5 of python

pywin32 (only to install as a service) - http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=78018&package_id=79063

• Windows users only and only if you intend to install as a service

---Usage

You need to edit pyTivo.conf in 3 places

1. ffmpeg=
2. []
3. path=

ffmpeg should be the full path to ffmpeg including filename. path is the absolute path to your media.

run pyTivo.py

---To install as a service in Windows

run pyTivoService.py --startup auto install

---To remove service

run pyTivoService.py remove
