Thanks Dan! Just FYI, still got this but it knows you are the publisher!

What I do after I download an executable file and I know the file is OK I right click the file > properties > unblock > apply.

This will stop SmartScreen from blocking the file.

The latest release is creating two folders in c: drive that were never there before with any earlier versions. They only appear when the app is running. Is this by design?

I noticed this as well.

Prior versions the files were created in Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp and this version they are created in the root of the drive.

Should have these in your start menu.

You want to click on the pytivo shortcut that is highlighted in the picture.
Once that is running you can open pytivo desktop.

 

[KevTech]

The shortcut says Pytivo but the target is pyTivoTray.exe so create a shortcut for PyTivoTray.

So frustrated. I have a new computer. Never could get it to work on my old computer. Downloaded the latest pyTiVo. It recognizes my TiVo. It shows all the shows in My Shows. I try to download a show. As it downloads there is a message that there are ts errors and a bunch of packets are affected.

Try selecting PS instead of TS on transfer format.

Another option is on the TivoToGo tab if you set transfer format to "Allow me to select per-recording" you can have a choice of TS or PS on my shows tab.

Then you can select what format you want to download as.

Make sure you have "Decrypt with tivo-libre" selected on TivoToGo options.

Also, make sure your new computer has an MPEG2 codec installed. Microsoft no longer supplies it with Windows.

Can obtain from the store.

Get MPEG-2 Video Extension - Microsoft Store

If/when you have another update perhaps fix the spelling on logging as it says loggging.

TE4 you can transfer from Tivo to PC but not from PC to Tivo and pytivo stills works for that.
Could always put the Bolt back on TE3.

 

[KevTech]

I don't think you can revert on a Vox.

I had success going back to TE3 on a vox.
I think it is only the OTA version that can not be downgraded.

Another option is to find a copy of DirectShow Dump.

KMTTG has a copy in the dsd folder.
Edit: Files are in the KMTTG Tools dsd folder.

I have a Bolt with software version 21.11.1.v9 and pytivo desktop works fine.
I have had the "no tivos found" when I made the mistake of clicking on the pyTivo Desktop shortcut instead of the pyTivo shortcut when starting the program.
You should have two shortcuts in your start menu and you want to click on pyTivo to start the program then once pyTivo is running you open pyTivo Desktop either with start menu shortcut or right-click on pyTivo icon in taskbar.

So make sure you are clicking on pyTivo when starting the program and not the pyTivo Desktop shortcut.

 

[KevTech]

It's possible this issue applied to the Bolt. I haven't personally verified it, just going off what a user told me.

My Bolt vox is using the built in wifi without any issues with pytivo desktop.

It has something to do with this: Private Network Access update: Introducing a deprecation trial - Chrome Developers
That means Edge is down with the same message. Based on the info, most if not all browsers will tighten up, preventing online.tivo.com from working the way it's designed. Rather than fix the problem at Tivo, which they could, they just decided to dump the PC interface for streaming.

You can overide this restriction.

I want to edit my shares like I can with the old pytivo. Where is the conf file on Win 11?

You can edit/add shares within the gui of Pytivo desktop instead of editing files.
