TivoTool 0.6.0 Released!
Sep 01 2006 12:54 AM
TivoTool 0.6.0 has been uploaded to sourceforge.net. =) Here is the download link. This is a beta version and may contain incomplete features and bugs. Please use the new Google Code site to report all issues you find. Note it is important to include what type of Tivo you have with bug reports.
New Features
TivoServer GUI
Stream Seek
Other New Features
Other Notes:
DVD burning has been removed due to time constrains and compatibility issues. Over 50% of support emails were about DVD burning. Many of these issues are really outside of TivoTool's scope. You can still download .vob files which are dvd-compatible.
This version is a beta and will contains bugs. It has been m
ostly tested on a Series 2 standalone unit. For those not on the bleeding edge, you may want to hold off on this release. Please report any issues at our Google Code site.
Edit: There will be an Intel-compatible version coming. I don't have an Intel Mac but have some testers who do. If you are a developer who would like to help, please email me at tivotool(at)johnsolo.net.
Please support TivoTool's continued development. Bug-testers and developers are always welcome aboard! If you're an artist who wants to do a logo, that would be another great way to help. I could also use a shell account on an Intel Mac to do some builds on. Or if you're too busy you can always donate. :*)
New Features
- Automatically download your favorite recordings!
- Recordings ready for you when you wake up - or whenever you choose.
- In a variety of formats...
- Uses UNIX standard cron daemon for rock-solid reliability.
- If your Tivo has Multi-Room Viewing (MRV), you can transfer files from your Mac.
- Allows you to transfer AVI, MP4, MPG and more to your Tivo!
- TivoServer daemon will continue running even with TivoTool closed.
- You need to be using the "superpatch" or equivalent on your tivo.
- Jump right to the end of a recording, back to the beginning or anywhere in-between!
- You can still use left and right arrow keys for small jumps, but now seek as far as you want with the drag of a slider.
- Accompanying interface allows you to pause video and see the current time and position. Expect more functions here in the next version.
- May not be compatible with all Tivo types.
Other New Features
