Hacking Tivo is another hobby of mine and the fine folks who reside at dealdatabase.com have come up with a way to stream Tivo'ed shows to your LINUX box. This is a long time coming since streaming to windows has been around for a long time.
Got you tivo owners attention? Good!
First you need to have a hacked Tivo (duh).
That hacked Tivo needs to be running Vserver and if your tivo has been hacked, it likely already has that installed.
Second Install VLC from Ubuntu's repositories.
3rd head over to
Sourceforge
and get two files:
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/t...r.bz2?download
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/t...r.bz2?download
unzip these to /usr/lib/vlc/demux you will need to sudo to access this directory.
now for the fun part
start vlc
file-open-network stream
in the box type:
tivo://tivoipaddress/plist
this generates a playlist of all the shows on the Tivo.
go to view playlist to see it
double click on a show.
Enjoy.
This works great over wireless connections too!
