Got a Mac?

Want to be able to Stream your now playing list in Tivoweb for playback on a Mac?  Here's how:

1) you are going to need VLC. Hands down the Best Media Player on the Mac. http://videolan.org.
then
download more internet:
http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/16066
add protocol tivo and tell it to open with vlc.
next you need to modify the tivoweb module ui.itcl.
Find the line that says
Code: 

set delete_td "$delete_td [td [html_link "/asx/$fsid.asx" "View"]]"
change it to say
Code: 

set delete_td "$delete_td [td [html_link tivo://192.168.1.106/$fsid "View"]]"
change the ip to your tivo's ip (duh)
lastly edit tivoweb.cfg to say TyShowLinks = 1.
restart tivowebplus.
Your now showing list will now have view links that can be seen with vlc.

Thanks, Gunny, I'm going to try this.


And just to mention a couple of other OS X options for streaming vid to your Mac.

http://www.tivotool.com/ <- the best thing I've found for interacting with my Series 1


Galleon - no link from me, because I think this is for Series 2 only

Has anyone gotten VLC to work?  I cannot.  I want to be able to just VLC open the stream if I know the FSID, but cannot get it work.

 

I have the latest version of VLC 0.8.6, but think I need newer libraries to add to it.  Haven't been able to find them.

 

Any help?
