Hr10-250 + Mrv

[mikehome]

Does anyone think that MRV will ever be available on these units. I love having all my other TIVO's zippered, but with MRV on the HR10-250 not available...its like a missing piece that is dearly needed.

I doubt that true MRV will ever be available within the tivo s/w... for 6.3, tivo put in an effort to exclude the code, and I don't see any chance of that really changing in the future.

The closest thing would be if someone wrote an MRV client for the PC (tivoserver is the MRV server that's been written), and then merged them both with tridge's MFS utilities... add an HME interface, and you've basically got MRV support to/from an HR10

Isn't that basically what movieloader is?

[puffdaddy]

No. Movieloader is an HME server capable of initiating FXP transfers between two MFS_FTP enabled units.

BTUx9 was referring to something more complex: compiling tivoserver for MIPS running it on an HR10-250, writing a client-side MRV client, compiling the client for MIPS, and then hooking that client into the tivo UI by snooping remote presses or events. I believe that Riley stated that he had done this some time ago, and had reported that it was fairly sluggish.

[BTUx9]

almost right...

I wasn't talking about snooping keypresses, or taking over the tivo UI (that's quite tough on an S2), but rather using something very like movieloader to trigger MRV xfers (which would only work after an MRV client/server combo was running on the hr10... that's the difficult bit)

[puffdaddy]

Understood, you were thinking of stopping shy of modifying the UI and instead using HME and an external server. Probably an less complicated route to go.

[BTUx9]

yep... suborning the UI on S2's is fraught with issues

(even on S1's, although much easier to do, it still gets glitchy)
