| After doing some testing with the latest installer of native python vs java, i'm not going to recommend java anymore. I tried transferring some longer local media, and while i didn't have heather's problems (the transfers completed) they were almost unwatchable. Lots of stuttering and artifacts. Not sure where the issue is with that, IPC with ffmpeg, i'd suppose? The network stack? It's not an issue with the playon plugin, as that's completely handling the video aspects for us. For anything else python seems to be the way to go. Python is noticably snappier too. |

You could just mod it, but I've incorporated your changes into the latest install.
This install now will work with java OR python. If python.exe is in your path, then it will use it preferentially. I used 2.7.3 from http://www.python.org/ftp/python/2.7.3/python-2.7.3.amd64.msi
as my testbed. Seems to work. Heather, you might want to try installing python, adding it to your path, and trying the latest install.

Ok, I've gotten python installed and the new build installed. I'm not sure how to add python to my path. Can you help me with this?
Thanks!
P.S. The videos work flawlessly using Playon's MyMedia. Not the most convenient way to get to them but they work! Thanks for the suggestion. |

As a way to say thank you for all of your help I want to share something I've discovered with Playon on the TiVo. You can actually save all shows downloaded simply by going into the show as it's downloading and changing the save until date at least one day ahead. I've even gotten this to work with Amazon Prime streaming. I know earlier in the thread someone was having trouble with this so I thought I'd share.  |

I've uploaded a new installer with dlfl's suggested changes. I also didn't like the way my installer was creating the service, so i've tweaked that, and my template has a different SourceFormat tag... not sure if that will make any difference. I'm also not using django anymore, so my plugin could concieveably be added to someone else's branch.
At the very least it works better than when i started! Thanks all for the help! |

AFAICT SourceFormat does nothing.

I'm running the may 25 wmcbrine fork on an Pogoplug with Archlinux.
I've got pyTivo working fine, along with the dvdvideo plugin. I can't get the playon plugin working.
I pasted the googlecode from here into playon.py, put that in a playon directory under plugins.
The log file doesn't even acknowlege the share

Here is the relavent section of my pytivo.conf created through the web configuration tool

[Photos]

path = /media/hd-sda2/Video/pictures
[DVDs]
type = dvdvideo
path = /media/hd-sda2/DVD
[playon]

type = playon

It doesn't recognize that playon is a plugin. Am I missing a steP
Thanks

| I figured out that _init_.py needed to be __init__.py. With that change, I can see the share on my tivo, but it has not content. I've tried a couple of different ports. Could windows firewall have something do do with this? |

Open a browser on a pc. Try http://<IP of the PC running playon>:54479/data/data.xml
Do you get an xml response? Then you're good. Use that port. No response? Possible firewall issue. You also need mobile access enabled in playon. Can't help out too much other than that. |
