Create Config File

cd /usr/share/pytivo
$ cp pyTivo.conf.dist pyTivo.conf

Test Run pyTiVo

We have the program download now we need to run it 

python /usr/share/pytivo/pyTivo.py
  • Visit http://hda:9032 to confirm pyTiVo is working
    • If it runs ok now we can create the daemon

Startup Script

nano /etc/init.d/pytivo
  • Paste this into the daemon we are creating
!/bin/bash
# chkconfig: 2345 99 05
# description: pyTivo server

### INIT INFO

# Short-description: pyTivo server
# Description: Start and stop the pyTivo server.
### END INIT INFO

RETVAL=0


start() {
echo -n "Starting pyTivo: "
pgrep -f pyTivo.py
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && echo "pyTivo already running: Exiting" && exit 1

# this call actually starts pyTivo.
python /usr/share/pytivo/pyTivo.py > /dev/null 2>&1 &
RETVAL=$?
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && echo -n "done"
echo
return $RETVAL
}

stop() {
echo -n "Stopping pyTivo: "
pkill -f pyTivo.py
RETVAL=$?
echo
[ $RETVAL -eq 0 ] && echo -n "done"
echo
return $RETVAL
}

# See how we were called.
case "$1" in
start)
start
;;

stop
;;
restart|reload)
stop
sleep 1
start
RETVAL=$?
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
exit 1
esac
exit $RETVAL
  • Run the daemon
service pytivo start

Configure pyTiVo

  • Primary method using web browser
hda:9032
  • Alternate method
nano /usr/share/pytivo/pyTivo.conf
  • Example config file
[Server]
port = 9032
ffmpeg = /usr/bin/ffmpeg

type = video
path = /var/hda/files/movies

[Music]
type = music
path = /var/hda/files/music

[Pictures]
type = photo
path = /var/hda/files/pictures

[_tivo_SD]
height = 1080
video_fps = 29.97
width = 1920
optres = true

[_tivo_HD]
height = 1080
optres = true
width = 1920
video_fps = 29.97

Configure Web App (needs update)

To make the html config a web app just create a new web app as pytivo in the /var/hda/web-apps/pytivo/html/ make new index.html with this 

<html>
