Streaming from DirecTivo

Check out this thread on the other forum. Download the version appropriate to your unit; vserver can be found in the Unified mfs_* tools. You may also have to install the tyshow codec to stream to WMP.

I just setup my PTV kit for my DirecTivo with 6.2. I see the "view" link on the TivoWebplus. I've enable the TyShowLinks in the tivoweb.cfg file. I keep reading about needing to install "vserver" now.

Can someone please help or direct me to some current instructions on how/where to install vserver, and what is the current version?? I'm not too familar with FTP or Telnet, but I learn fast. It doesn't seem too hard.

I just can't find current, clear instructions on where and how to get vserver. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Thanks, dj. I'm using Windows, but I'll see if I can figure out how to get this to work. Thanks for the pointer...

Sorry if I wasn't more clear - vserver goes on your tivo and the codec is for Windows (WMP = Windows Media Player.)

Go over to dealdatabase.com and start searching and reading on how to patch tivoapp so that you can use those additional tools. I don't recommend you go over there and ask the question, just go searching and do your reading and you should find what you are looking for...

This issue has been resolved for me, here is what I did:

I installed Superpatch-67all by NutKase
The main post for this is found here:
http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/showthread.php?t=43325

You can download Superpatch-67all
http://www.dealdatabase.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=4823

It enables NoCSO (record video unencrypted for later extraction), 30-second skip and backdoors, Home Media Option(HMO/Music and Photos) and Multi-Room Viewing(MRV) for any supported tivo on which it is applied.

Just follow the instructions in the readme. I ended up deleting all my current recording because they were scrambled and would not work with the view link. I think the issue lies with tivoapp and NoCSO (record video unencrypted for later extraction).

Hi

I didn't not have this issue.

I baked my cake, then did the PTVnet upgrade cd, then I did the superpatch.
I did not have any network connectivity problems after running the patch.

Any luck?

I am about to install the superpatch on a PTVupgrade kit that I just bought for my Phillips DSR704 and the last thing i want to do is wipe out the network connectivity. Any advice?

All I get when I try is can not execute binary file

Did you get the correct version for your TiVo? Series 1 units use the PPC version, while Series 2 units use the MIPS version.

HR10-250, Samsung SIR-S4120R, SIR-S4080R, 2 Philips DSR704s (one connected to a Slingbox A/V). One box used the "Zipper"; rest used PTVnet to enable networking features.

I'm using MP11 (I think it might be GA now?) with vserver and it plays just fine.

Maybe dl the latest mp11 and see if that helps.
