Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo 4 Tiny stalls during xfer

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

Hi Robert,

I haven't had a Tivo in several years now; I'm afraid I can't help out with
debugging the problem.  Ubuntu has released half a dozen versions since I
last hacked this project; any one of them could have broken something,
unfortunately.

If someone else on the mailing list has ideas maybe they'll be able to
chime in...
Billy

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] Stopped working....

[sid s. <ssh...@fa...>]

Hi,
I was a happy tivo4tiny on ubuntu user. One day it stopped working. I
have re=installed the 1.15 on ubuntu 10.10. When tivo4tiny start it has
the correct media key. I have two tivo's and it has on in the drop-down
list, but cannot connect to it. The other entries in the drop-down list
are "eth0", "eth1", and "manual".

Any ideas? Anything else I can provide to help?
Thanks!

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo4tiny / dicussion board

[Darren A. <da...@gm...>]

A Raw will probably work but you need the unstripped libraries for
FFMPEG available from Medibuntu.   If you are ok with just watching it
on your computer then MP4 will probably work without this but here is
what I did to get iPod transfers to work:

Install Medibuntu using the instructions from:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
Then install via Synaptic their versions of:
libamrnb3
libamrnb-dev
libamrwb3
libamrwb-dev
libavcodec-extra-52
libavcodec-unstripped-52
libavdevice-extra-52
libavdevice-unstripped-52
libavfilter-extra-0
libavfilter-unstripped-0
libavformat-extra-52
libavformat-unstripped-52
libavutil-extra-49
libavutil-unstripped-49
libdvdcss2
libdvdcss-dev
libpostproc-extra-51
libpostproc-unstripped-51
libswscale-extra-0
libswscale-unstripped-0

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo4tiny / dicussion board

[Will <wea...@gm...>]

To all,

Ubuntu 9.10

Last night I d/l week series 'House' (1hr long HD) it was showing it
D/L'ing  on the bottom right of the program. So I left it for the night.
You can also can see it incrementing. The file in the preferences were setup
for the d/l   '/home/will/downloads' which I do have that directory, and
selected IPOD to decode.
Look at 10hrs later there was nothing in the Download folder.

Why is that.

I running Dell Precisiion 690 12gb memory 2 tb HD so space is not a factor.

Any suggestion please?

Should I try raw d/l instead?


Thanks,
Will

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] Cannot connect to IPADDRESS

[Christopher B. <ju...@cu...>]

Although I can access my tivo by https://IPADDRESS, I am unable to connect
to my tivo via Tivo 4 Tiny using the same IPADDRESS.  I attempt to use the
same MAK as both my password via a web browser, and in the Preferences of
Tivo 4 Tiny.  Running Tivo 4 Tiny from the command line yields no additional
messages except "No destination set. Setting to HOME."

I am running Ubuntu 9.10 and have tivodecode and mencoder installed.  Any
other prerequisites to get Tivo 4 Tiny to work?

Thanks in advance for any ideas!

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo4tiny on CentOS

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

I have no idea why old recordings wouldn't show up.  There's no limit -- T4T
just shows the list that it receives from the Tivo box.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Where are errors logged?

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

Errors aren't logged to a file, but if you run "tivo4tiny" from a terminal
window, any errors should show up there.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Where are errors logged?

[Jim L. <spo...@gm...>]

I've added the Medibuntu repository before I initially asked, but in
hindsight, I didn't actually ask the question I put in the subject.
I've got Medibuntu installed and I've tested it to create MP4s using
an ffmpeg GUI that just calls the command line.  So I was hoping to at
least see if errors were logged anywhere, or I could turn on a verbose
mode or something.

Thanks

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Where are errors logged?

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

On 9.10, Ubuntu pulled out some necessary video support libraries.  To add
them back in, follow the instructions for adding the "Medibuntu" repository
at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu

Then you can install unstripped versions of the video libraries and it
should work.

I will update the T4T website with more specific install instructions for
9.10 when I get a chance -- just slammed at work right now.

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] Where are errors logged?

[Jim L. <spo...@gm...>]

I'm trying to get Tivo 4 Tiny working in 9.10 and the "Processing"
just stalls.  I can grab the Raw Copy without any problems.  Thanks.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo4tiny on CentOS

[Dewey C. <dew...@gm...>]

That was the problem.

I've noticed on Ubuntu and on CentOS the Now Playing list does not include
many of the older recordings. Is this a feature? I have a couple of Austin
City Limit recording that 4-5 months old I want to pull off the tivo, but
they don't even show up in the list. Is this a recording 'age' thing or a
count of recordings thing?

BTW, thanks for you work on this.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Darren A. <da...@gm...>]

Just realized I copy and pasted the list without editing, it should be just:
libavcodec-extra-52
libavcodec-unstripped-52
libavdevice-extra-52
libavdevice-unstripped-52
libavfilter-extra-0
libavfilter-unstripped-0
libavformat-extra-52
libavformat-unstripped-52
libavutil-extra-49
libavutil-unstripped-49
libpostproc-extra-51
libpostproc-unstripped-51
libswscale-extra-0
libswscale-unstripped-0

I am sure this list could be trimmed down even further but I would
need to experiment to see which ones are needed for sure.

I can save you the time and pull them real quick:
Install Medibuntu using the instructions from:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
Then install via Synaptic their versions of:
libamrnb3
libamrnb-dev
libamrwb3
libamrwb-dev
libavcodec-extra-52
libavcodec-unstripped-52
libavdevice-extra-52
libavdevice-unstripped-52

libavutil-extra-49
libavutil-unstripped-49
libdvdcss2
libdvdcss-dev
libpostproc-extra-51
libpostproc-unstripped-51
libswscale-extra-0
libswscale-unstripped-0

BTW, I love this application and I cannot thank you enough for
creating it.   It makes grabbing shows off my TiVo a simple act and
not the hassle it used to be!

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

Thanks for the hint.  That makes the install a lot more difficult since
before 9.10 all the dependencies would just install automatically.  But,
it's better than nothing.

I'll look into it and get a list of the unstripped versions so people know
what they need to install.

Cheers,
Billy

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Tivo4tiny on CentOS

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

This just looks like you tried to copy a recording that was still in
progress, which Tivo won't allow.  I'm going to add better error-checking so
the app handles this a bit better.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Darren A. <da...@gm...>]

Billy,

You can get the version of FFMPEG (Called unstripped) for Ubuntu from
Medibuntu.   Not the best solution but it works in the meantime.
Once I installed the unstripped versions I was able to rip for iPhones
without an issue.

Thank you!

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] No File After Transfer

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

Yep, there's a problem with the Ubuntu 9.10 version of ffmpeg, which T4T
requires to create AAC-encoded MP4 files.  I'm looking into it. In the
meanwhile try switching the output preference to "Raw Copy" and see if that
works.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Billy C. <bi...@wo...>]

Hmmmm... These "no file created" problems seem to be troubles with the
codecs in (at least) the latest version of Ubuntu and maybe other distros as
well.

In particular, the ffmpeg converter app has been gelded -- it doesn't have
AAC audio encoding anymore, which is required for MP4 file creation. I'll
look around but there may be no easy fix for that.  If so, I'll have to
switch the output format to something other than MP4 (like xvid inside an
AVI file), but then it won't work natively on iPhones.

Just to be sure, please try switching the Preferences format to "Raw Copy"
and see if the file appears.  In the meanwhile I'll see what I can find out.

Re: [Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Darren A. <da...@gm...>]

It sounds like you picked an output format that you don't have the
codecs installed for.   For example the iPhone codecs require the
unstripped libraries on Ubuntu from the Medibuntu site.   Not sure if
this works for Linux Mint as well.

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] No File After Transfer

[Jim H. <jdh...@ya...>]

Hello:

I installed the app in Ubuntu 9.10 just fine, entered my media key, and
found my Tivo.  I selected a program to transfer and away it went.

I had a file called tivo-6cBukj.mpg which was gradually getting bigger
and when the transfer was completed, the temp file disappeared and I
never saw a "real" mpg appear in my home directory.

What happened?

Thanks,

Jim

[Tivo4tiny-discuss] Save location?

[Cameron D. <cam...@gm...>]

I just started using Tivo4Tiny yesterday and it appears to be working. The
only problem is I can't find where the finished files are being stored. I
set the destination folder to my home folder (though I can't click on the
"Select..." button), but no files ever show up after decoding. T4T sees my
Tivo and when I double click a program it says that it's downloading the
file (and I assume will decode it when it's done). I can see an .mpg file
being generated in my tmp directory, but that's it. Am I looking in the
wrong place? The destination variable does change in gconf-editor when I
change it in the program. FYI, I'm using Linux Mint 8 and just download the
deb file from the T4T website. Four packages were installed along with T4T,
so I thought that everything was ready to go. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Tim,

I am using   tivo4tiny  amd64  version 1.15-1
  

On my system typing in "tivo4tiny" in the terminal works without any errors 
being displayed in the terminal. I have been using the latest version of 
tivo4tiny  " amd64  1.15-1"  without any apparent problems for a couple weeks. 
I usually use alt+F2 to run tivo4tiny. However, I do not use Tivo4tiny for 
anything more than to transfer the files to my hard drive.

My system  is using   KDE 4.3.3 but I also have gnome installed.
karmic   Release:        9.10

Linux ubuntu 2.6.31-14-generic #48+ureadahead2-Ubuntu SMP Wed Oct 28 17:28:05 
UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux Ubuntu

Hopefully the information will help track down the source of the error.
