Requirements
In order to run pyTivo you will need:
- A compatible TiVo with active subscription (standalone Series 2 or later; limited (non-video) support for certain DirecTV units).
- A Python interpreter; versions 2.5 through 2.7 are compatible.
- A Current Release of pyTivo.
- FFmpeg -- for transcoding video and audio (pyTivo will work without it in a limited fashion). Must be built with --enable-libmp3lame (no longer the default) if you want to support non-MP3 music files.
- tivodecode -- to make best use of .TiVo files (recordings transferred from a TiVo).
- The Python Imaging Library -- to make best use of the photo plugin (it will work with FFmpeg in the absence of PIL, but must have one or the other).
See the install pages for more detailed settings for specific operating systems.
