Suddenly unable to push videos to my tivo with pytivo

I'm not sure when this started, but suddenly I am unable to push videos to my tivos via pytivo. Also since it uses pytivo, my my pytivo-video-manager HME app no longer works.

I tried updating to the latest pytivo, but it did not help.

Here is what I see in the pytivo log file:

Code:
{'cams_security_domain': 'tivocom', 'cams_login_config': 'http', 'cams_cb_password': 'xxxxxxx', 'cams_original_url': '/mind/mind7?type=infoGet', 'cams_cb_username': 'xxxxxxx@gmail.com'}

Although I have masked them in the above, I have verified that the username and password are the same as the credentials I use to log into tivo.com.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

And then, Yes. I changed .conf email to ALLCAPS@GMAIL.com, not sure if this was the issue.

I had deleted the the all the pending content from my laptop. When things kicked back on, I had to keep restarting pyTivo to clear the the queue of multiple "file not found" messages.

The latest round of gPodder content (6 files) is being pushed right now, hands off. Back to normal, I hope.
Only if you consider intermittent normal.

Two of the 20 questions Ira answered may be on point:
......
his isn't ideal, but the PC transfer is no longer a supported feature on our platform. As for the mobile app, this continues to be a supported platform and will be transitioned fully as with all of our existing software platforms.
We understand that there is a hole that was left when TiVo Desktop and Desktop Plus were EOL'd. There were some external reasons why we had to EOL that product. We are presently trying to get a replacement on the technology roadmap.
I'd be surprised if tivo does anything to fix push.

I was getting perfect hands-off pushes to my TiVo for better part of a week.

Seems to be broken again, same as before:
Code:
ERROR:pyTivo.video.video:<error>[CODE]badCookie
<debug>1</debug><text>Session cannot be authenticated; try login again</text></error>[/code]

Not sure what I did last time to restore function beside flipping my email format between:

ALLCAPS@GMAIL.COM and ALLCAPS@GMAIL.com

Which just seems an odd fix. This approach has no effect today.

Bummer.

I found, what I believe, fixes this issue. I realized that push was failing on a new laptop I'd purchased, but worked great on an older laptop. A little weird I thought. I tried most of the recommendations in this thread without success. Then it hit me. The error discusses a bad cookie. I realized that I hadn't logged in to tivo.com on my new laptop, so no cookie would be present. I logged into tivo.com and, bingo, push is working again.

I don't believe this has been suggested yet. For those of you experiencing this error, you may have an expired cookie or no cookie at all. Log in to tivo.com to reset (or set) your cookie and this just might work for you.

That's the $1,000,000.00 question. No repeatable solution for me. On ONE occasion, I changed my email on TiVo.com and pyTiVo to myusername@GMAIL.COM (note the uppercase). Worked for a day or two.

Since then, no luck even after many attempts. I've reverted back to PULLING from TiVo directly, which sucks as Meta data and Folder info does not come along for the ride with this approach. Sucks.
