I’m in the process of putting
together a crib sheet detailing mainly the extraction process but
I’ll
include these other two utilities as well. To crack on regardless, these
are
the relevant URLs:
TivoWeb: http://tivo.lightn.org/
NB I see a new beta has just been
released, I’m still on 1.9.3 but the beta includes support for
undeleting
recordings !
TyTools4: http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=8092&pagenumber=2
Look at the second
post.
Merge.tcl: http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=58576&perpage=20&highlight=BATCH%20SAVE&pagenumber=3
Look at the 4th post. Note:
I
had some problems with this which meant I had to hex edit the
/tvbin/tivoapp file
as discussed in the thread. You’ll need to review the thread
thoroughly
to get an idea what is required.
Once I’ve got some noddy
instructions together I’ll post them somewhere and probably stick the
files in the yahoogroups files area.
Cheers
Don
NB There are plenty of disclaimers
around
on hacking the TiVo and the chance of screwing up big time so I’ll
not
repeat them here! Anyway, Chris, as you’re our Linux guru on the
viaproject list I don’t think you’ll have many problems

I
was
just going to post this to the Turbonet bulk buy list only, but in view of
the
increased uptake of the Tivo due to the Powerhouse deal, I thought
I’d
share with the rest of the group:
Just
to
wet your appetites prior to the arrival of the TurboNet cards I’ve
now
got the following utilities working on my
TiVo:
TivoWeb:
Brilliant mini web server allowing you to access the program details of
programs recorded on the Tivo. Delete recordings and review suggestions via
browser. Mount file systems. Control your Tivo via a graphical
representation
of the Peanut via a browser.
TyTools4:
Excellent video extraction utility written by one of our
US cousins. Up till a few days ago this didn’t support UK
Tivos
but the guy has now released a version for UK Tystreams. Allows you to
review
programs recorded on the Tivo via a PC client and extract the Video and
Audio
streams to your PC in a single point and click operation. Mind you the
muxing
of the separate streams into a standard mpeg file is a bit of a pigs ear at
the
minute requiring various other mpeg utiliies but is achievable and gives
surprisingly good results. The TyTools guy is looking at including the
muxing
into the TyTools app in a future release which will be a
godsend.
Merge.tcl:
Another invaluable tool only just released. This little beauty allows you
to
select and tag multiple programs via the standard TiVo interface using the
normal Remote and “Save to VCR” the multiple selections in a
single
operation. Currently, TiVo only allows you to save a single program to VCR
at
any one time. I don’t
know
about you but SWMBO requests loads of programmes eg “The
Operation”
– don’t ask? but never seems to watch them. I don’t want
to
go to the effort of video extraction for this type of stuff, I just want it
off
my Tivo. For example, I can now select 4 separate 1 hour episodes of her
favourite progs and dump them to a four hour tape overnight. The script
even puts
the multiple titles in the Header Screen. SWMBO isn’t bothered about
VCR
quality (and besides which she’ll probably never watch them) and they
can
be archived to tidy up my Tivo menus. Hey, when I get a recordable DVD,
I’ll just dump them to that J
Cheers
Don
