RE: Tivo Streaming

["Don McAllister" <donmc@xxxxxxx>]

http://tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net/

will give you access to the files and usage notes. Can't be of any more
help at present as I haven't played with the Tivo side component.

NB There is also a Java GUI you can use to view the list and kick off
the player. Again, details on the link.

See some basic usage notes:


Usage
Play a locally stored stream
# mplayer stream.ty
Retrieve the now showing list from a TiVo, tivohost is the host name of
your tivo, alternately you can use the TiVo's IP Address
# mplayer tivo://tivohost/list
Play a remote stream, 12345 is the FSID provided in the now showing list
# mplayer tivo://tivohost/12345
Play a remote stream, Part 1 of FSID 12345
# mplayer tivo://tivohost/12345/1
Play a remote stream, Part 1 and 3 of FSID 12345
# mplayer tivo://tivohost/12345/1 tivo://tivohost/12345/3
Extract a remote stream, Part 1 of FSID 12345 to file stream.ty
# mplayer -dumpfile stream.ty -dumpstream tivo://tivohost/12345/1
Transcode stream 1544095 to divx
# mencoder tivo://tivohost/1544095 -ovc divx4 -oac mp3lame -o stream.avi


Play a local file with Closed Caption and XDS On Screen
# mplayer -subcc stream.ty

Play a local file with Closed Caption and XDS On Screen and also dump CC
and XDS to a terminal
# mplayer -quiet -v -subcc stream.ty  egrep '^CC^XDS'
