Tivo Proxy Server

[Allanon]

Vanclute, remove the # character from these three lines of code at the bottom of the code then try running:

httpd.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPIDLE, 1)
httpd.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPINTVL, 1)
httpd.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPCNT, 5)

This code doesn't work on Windows but research shows it might work for mac and Linux.

[vanclute]

Uncommenting those lines and running the script, I get:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/user/Desktop/tivodecode_MacOSX_intel/Tivo Proxy Server 7.py", line 326, in <module>
    httpd.socket.setsockopt(socket.SOL_TCP, socket.TCP_KEEPIDLE, 1)
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'TCP_KEEPIDLE'
logout

[Process completed]

Next ideas?

[Allanon]

Vanclute, delete those three lines, I guess they only work in Linux. I've seen reports of that "Broken pipe" error being caused by a firewall. Try turning off your firewall and testing the program. I'm starting to run out of ideas so hopefully it's your firewall.

[vanclute]

sadly the firewall isn't running so... that's definitely not it.

Will delete those lines (though they were commented out previously weren't they?) and see what happens...

EDIT: No joy... broken pipe. Are there by chance any other Mac users who could take a stab at this so I can make sure it's not just me?

[Allanon]

Vanclute, try this version. In case tivodecode is taking it's time loading, I put a 5 second delay before sending any data to tivodecode. Also, maybe data is being transferred too fast so I reduced the number of bytes being read and written at one time.

I haven't looked at this in enough detail to know what the problem is, but I can guarantee you're barking up the wrong tree with those changes.

[vanclute]

Alas wmcbrine appears to be correct, no change with the latest version.

[vanclute]

So are we at a dead on with this on Mac? I was so hopeful...

I don't know how to correct your error. Someone with better knowledge of Python and Mac will need to help out.

I finally figured out how to get VLC to read directly from the Proxy server...

simply add the rss url as podcast under the playlist options. I do have javascript that can lookup poster art for the TV shows and movies - but not being familiar with python, it would take me quite a bit of effort to integrate it.



But it was nice getting it to this point.

[vanclute]

That's great... now if only the videos would play for me in the first place.

I am anxiously waiting for VLC for windows 8 to use this on the Surface Pro tablet - that I am chomping at the bit to buy.

Sorry it doesn't work for you... It is still really unstable presented via the browser for me, but rock solid through VLC.

Here is an update that fixes file transfers. The problem is detailed in this thread:

http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb...d.php?t=501420.

This version added a cookie with sid='ABC'.

[mulscully]

here is the error I am getting now... Any help would be appreciated.. I am running Windows 7 and am running the version of the proxy server listed in post #103 above

it does look like its starting to decode the video because the line right before the ---- it says

Decoding video

c:\Python27\tivodecode ( and I do have tivodecode in that directory, I copied the tivodecode dir from kmmttg into the Pyhton dir)

[Allanon]

Mulscully, I don't have Windows 7 or this problem so I was only able to look the error up on the internet and see how others fixed it. Some say just changing the directory to the path will solve the problem, so I added that code to this version. You might also try running as admin.

[mulscully]

Thanks, I will give this a try sometime tonight or tomorrow and post the result....

[mulscully]

Nah... still getting the same error... Believe its a win 7 issue....

[vanclute]

I suspect you aren't really tracking the Mac issues since you aren't a Mac user, but I'm back to this error again. This is with the version you posted on 02.28.13:

Vanclute, for some reason the last version didn't have the code that fixed your path problem. This version should work.

[vanclute]

Unfortunately, no go here either.
