how to stream to tv?
Hi,

I recorded a couple of seasons of Lost and copied them to my computer. My TiVo only have 20 hours of HD. How can I just stream them to the TiVo, PS3, or Xbox so that I do not have to copy the file to any of these devices.

Thanks in advance,

For streaming to S3/THD Tivos you can use streambaby.

I ran the batch but could not find anything in the folder

My ini

#!/bin/bash
DIRNAME=`dirname $0`
java -Xmx256m -jar "$DIRNAME/jbin/streambaby.jar" $@
dir.1=C:\Users\Christian\Documents\My TiVo Recordings

Ignore that message, seems like it's running fine. Yes it runs on Vista 64 - that's what I'm using.
The file you posted above is the streambaby file which is batch script to run on unix systems. Forget that file.

What you want to do is:
1. edit streambaby.ini file and put in dirs where your video files reside:
dir.1=C:\Users\Christian\Documents\My TiVo Recordings
(Make sure there is no '#' at start of line as that is a comment)

2. Double-click on streambaby.bat file to start the application and leave the console window that comes up running

3. Now on your Tivo go to:
Tivo Central-Music,Photos&Showcases

4. Scroll all the way towards the bottom and choose the Streambaby entry. This will take you to the folder you setup in step 1 and now you can select one of your videos to play. The full list of remote control functions in file browser and playback modes can be found in this Wiki page.

That means you didn't put an entry in streambaby.ini or that folder doesn't have any videos in it. Post contents of your streambaby.ini file here and what video files you have under the folder you are specifying.

I was editing the wrong file. I got it to work now. I must say my lower quality anime files work better than in the xbox or ps3. However, with the HD .tivo files, the stream stops too often

Streaming speeds are only as fast as TTG transfers so ~13 Mbps or so is the upper limit under normal conditions. For HD mpeg2 files you have to let stream buffer build up for a while before you start watching. The streaming option is really better off for HD mp4 files or for SD mpeg2 since speeds are not really fast enough for HD mpeg2 as you have found.

Also note with .TiVo files you are not able to jump ahead of buffer as you can with any other kind of video file so you are better off decrypting them to .mpg files if goal is to stream them to your Tivos and get full streambaby functionality.

I was using handbrake and converting to the television preset with mp4, but it seems to take almost as long as copying the file to the tivo.
