 |
|
I'm only interested in viewing my jpgs that are on may MacBook pro- through my tivo.
I've installed pyTivo & ffmpeg on Snow Leopard and have launched the server.
I've followed the directions here
http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/PyTivo
http://pytivo.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Mac_OS_X_Install
(PIL only has packages for Windows, so why is it listed?)
It seems as though there is something missing from these instructions-
what you need to do on Tivo to be able to view your pictures that are on a Mac?
Is that information located somewhere else?
thanks |

The source packages are also on the PIL main site. If you can't cope with those, you need to find another way to get PIL onto your system, because that's the only way the Photo plugin will work. I think I used MacPorts last time, or was it Homebrew? Sorry, the "best" way seems to change with each version of OS X.

Thanks- I didn't see the PIL sources.
I'll install/compile that.
What do I need to do on the Tivo- to see jpgs on the Mac? |

On the TiVo? Just select the share from the Music & Photos menu.

in the pytvio.conf file, what is the exact syntax for name of share?
You need to edit pyTivo.conf in 3 places
1. ffmpeg=
2. [<name of share>]
3. path=
Name of share is the only thing missing, but I don't know what to put there.
[Server]
ffmpeg = /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
path = /Users/tonyc/Pictures/2012
port = 9032
type = photo
[_tivo_SD]
[_tivo_HD] |

Anything you want. But, what you have above is wrong.
[Server]
ffmpeg = /usr/local/bin/ffmpeg
port = 9032
[Photos]
type = photo
path = /Users/tonyc/Pictures/2012
