Try asking over at the pyTivo forums.

Is it still going on? It may be possible that it is an issue with the Tivo mind server that processes the file push requests.

I haven't seen double pushes, but the mind server has been flaky for me today. I'm getting a lot of 500 Internal Server Errors.

Yes its still going. I tried asking on their forums but I haven't received any response. The support for pyTivo doesn't seem to be very good. KMTTG support has been awsome though.

Well it is an odd issue that hasn't really been brought up before except by one other user who seems to have had the issue around the same time as you. Your logs show that the show is queued once to the mind server but requested twice. pyTivo can't control what Tivo servers do if they get in a weird state, which I have seen them do frequently. It may be something you just have to wait out. The only other advice I have is to make sure you are running the latest pyTivo code and to reboot your Tivo.

pyTivo is supported mostly by the people who use it, so if no one has seen the issue before it may take awhile before someone jumps in and tries to say what the issue might be.

I suspect that no one else is seeing the issue, and none of us have any idea what might be causing it. I cetainly am not and do not, so it seemed pointless to comment. One thing that might be very helpful, however, is posting the pyTivo configuration file from the offending system. We certainly can't do much without it.

I am also having the the problem. I had 7 episodes of Bones. Last night there was 2 episodes of Forgotten. It was starting a third so I canceled it but a minute later it started transferring again. I had go to the computer and delete the program.
It been doing this for the last month off and on.
Her is my config

[My Videos]
type = video
path = G:\FOR THE TIVO

[Server]
tivo_password = xxxxxxx
tivo_mak = xxxxxxxxx
ffmpeg = C:\Program Files\pyTivo\bin\ffmpeg.exe
tivodecode = C:\Program Files\pyTivo\bin\TIVODECODE.EXE
tdcat = C:\Program Files\pyTivo\bin\tdcat.exe
beacon = 192.168.1.112
togo_path = G:\FROM THE TIVO
tivo_username =xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Thanks for the responses. I appreciate it. Here is my config. (I used the * to block out some info)

[Server]
port = 9032
ffmpeg = C:\pyTivo\bin\ffmpeg.exe
tivo_password = ********
tivo_username = *****@gmail.com
tivo_mak = **********

[MyMovies]
type = video
path = D:\Tivo

We might look for some commonality between your two systems. What OS is on the pyTivo server? The workstation used to select the videos to push? What browser is being used? Have either of you tried a vidmgr push? If so does it do the same thing? You might try turning on debug. Some network sniffing may be required.

Thanks.
I have pyTivo installed on a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 computer and the same computer is used to set the push. Im using IE 9 (latest version). I have not tried vidmgr. Can you tell me where to find it ? Thanks.

You need to install HME for Python. Vidmgr is a plug-in for it.

Well, Windows 7 is a common element. It could be something in W7, although I would guess the odds are low. On e never knows...

If you mean, "Does it automatically perform unattended pushes", then no. It's UI based.
