Similar to [http://www.tivo.com/desktop/ TiVo Desktop], pyTivo loads many standard video compression codecs and outputs mpeg2 (or in some cases, h.264) video to the TiVo. However, pyTivo is able to load many more file types than TiVo Desktop. '''NOTE:''' This was tested on Amahi 7 (Fedora 19). == PreRequisites ==* Install the [https://www.amahi.org/apps/rpm-fusion-free RPM Fusion app] via HDA Available applications tab. * Install required packages yum -y install ffmpeg nano git ==Install PyTiVo======Download source====<pre>cd /usr/sharegit clone git://github.com/wmcbrine/pytivo.git</pre> ====Create Config File==== cd /usr/share/pytivo cp pyTivo.conf.dist pyTivo.conf ====Test Run pyTiVo====*Start the program: python /usr/share/pytivo/pyTivo.py*Visit <nowiki>http://hda:9032</nowiki> to confirm pyTiVo is working.
