How to set up Streambaby under Mac OS X Lion

Ive never tried streambaby before. I followed your steps and all of the directories/folders show on the TIVO, but when I click on them they are each empty. There is nothing to stream.

Any ideas where to trouble shoot?

Thanks,

Never mind I am new to entering things into the terminal. I must have entered something wrong. I had to tweak it a little from what you had to get it to work on my TIVO.

Most videos stream now. Some I get the Oxffff error from my videos I shot from my ipod touch 4g. Assume it is the format it was recorded in?

Got it to work on my Macbook Pro & iMac (both Core 2 Duo running 10.7.2) but I was hoping I could get my old Mini (ppc/10.5.8) so I could still get some service out it. It seems to run fine but when I try to stream from the TiVo I get an error. The output on the computer in Terminal indicates that ffmpeg (I downloaded the Universal one from your link) is quitting.

Thanks BTW for post/link. Very simple instructions even a noob like me could follow

It's built from SVN r19249 which is from FFmpeg 0.5 era I believe.

 

ShinySteelRobot, Used your wonderful detailed instructions and: On a Mac running 10.8.2., pyTivoX runs fine (and has for years), StreamBaby not so good. Experiencing the same problem as Andy Grant: "I was able to follow the instructions above to get Stream, Baby, Stream to appear in my Tivo Menu, and I can navigate the directories of my movies folder(s) with no problem.
HOWEVER…
When I make that final step to “Play” the selected file, I get the grey screen with red text:
“Failed to open stream” "


streambaby.ini

dir.1=/Users/cur1ous/Movies dir.1.name=StreamBaby? com.unwiredappeal.tivo.vm.ffjava.FFmpegJavaVideoModule=false ffmpeg.path=/Applications/streambaby/ffmpeg

Contents of streambaby folder:

assets cache extra ffmpegX ffmpegXbinaries20060307 jbin lib native scripts simplelog.properties streambaby streambaby.bat streambaby.ini streambaby.log stylesheets

(I don't have "streambaby.ini.ORIG" in my streambaby folder. You have it listed in your response to Andy Grant and I don't know what it is.)

Appreciate any help! From anyone! Please!

 

I'm curious, what's the benefit of your approach if my pyTivoX is working? Will this offer additional options or a better outcome?

 

Hello
Thinking of giving Streambaby go but was wondering if anyone has tried it on Mavericks witch I intend to download in a couple of weeks.

Cheers
