[mythtv-users] MythTivo? What'd I miss?

[Ian Forde]

Okay - Since I've just gotten it running, all I can say is,
"WWWOOOOWWWWW!!!!"

Ahem.

Basically, it's another module for MythTV that allows you to watch shows
off of your tivo.  Or multiple Tivos... ;)

(You'll need MythTV 0.8 to build it though, as it won't compile with the
CVS version that I downloaded yesterday.)

It connects to your Tivo, retrieves the "Now Showing" list, and, with
the aid of a specially hacked version of mplayer (available at
tivo-mplayer.sourceforge.net) lets you watch the Tivo shows on your
MythTV.

In order to build it, I was lucky in that I had the atrpms installed for
0.8, so it could reference /usr/include/mythtv instead of my
cvs-installed /usr/local/include/mythtv headers.

What does this make possible?  Well, you could have both the Tivo and
MythTV record scrambled-channel shows (with separate cable boxes, of
course) and watch them all through the MythTv.
