[[File:Pytivo_logo.gif]]
[http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/PyTivo pyTivo] is both an HMO and GoBack server. 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).
<pre> easy_install pillow-pil</pre>*Test run Start the pyHMEscript:<pre> python /usr/share/pyhme/start.py</pre>Verify that things are working correctly on the Tivo, go to Now Playing List and look for the shares. If they appear and you can browse to them, you are almost done!
You can manually start the pyHME service by:<preblockquote>service pyhme start'''NOTE:''' Verify that things are working correctly on the Tivo, go to Now Playing List and look for the shares. If they appear and you can browse to them, you are almost done!</preblockquote>

*After you save your .ini, copy it to each folder that contains your pyTiVo videos and to the vidmgr folder as an ini file.
==Configure Web App (needs update)==* To make the html config Create a manual web app just create a new called '''pytivo''' (Amahi application [https://www.amahi.org/apps/web app as pytivo-apps Web App] provides this capablity)
* In /var/hda/web-apps/pytivo/html, create index.html with this text:
