In 2013 and before, I was able to converted a .tivo file to its
respective .mpg format using readily available software. Then that stopped working. searching online finds lots of posts from over 2 yrs ago, so I don't trust that any of those solutions still work. Does anyone have any experience doing this conversion to .mpg files currently? Thanks |

Does anyone have any experience doing this conversion to .mpg files currently? I just tested; downloaded last week's "Elementary" from my TiVo Roamio using "curl" and then converted it to mpeg using "tivodecode". Basically the same tools that I used 7 years ago. I was able to view the resulting mpg file. So 'works for me'. Two or three years back when I did this sort of thing, I always found that the output of tivodecode [in linux] had lots of errors. So you need a robust movie player. If the OP changed movie players, that might be the problem. Eddie |

Nothing changed AFAIK. searching online finds lots of posts from over 2 yrs ago, so I don't trust that any of those solutions still work. I do this currently with cTiVo. tivodecode (which is most likely the engine that cTiVo uses) still works as well for me, same as long ago. -- Doug McIntyre |

How do you guys get the .tivo files off of the unit? If I were to use curl, how exactly does that work? You to https://$tivo (where $tivo is your TiVo's username or IP address). Login is "tivo", password is your MAK (found on the tivo.com site, or on the tivo menus). You can download from there. Or you can do stuff programatically. The base "curl command is: $curl="curl -k --digest -u tivo:$MAK -o"; You can get a list of programs available with ${curl}- -s -S "https://$tivo/TiVoConnect?Command=QueryContainer&Container=%2FNo wPlaying&Recurse=Yes" Parse that to get the URL of the shows. Then ${curl}output.tivo -c /tmp/cookies.txt $url eg this URL is one returned by my TiVo: http://tivo:80/download/Marvel%27s%2...aying&id=20173 You can then use tivodecode to convert output.tivo to an mpg file. -- Stephen Harris The truth is the truth, and opinion just opinion. But what is what? My employer pays to ignore my opinions; you get to do it for free. |

I'm finding more shows (especially high-def) being marked as copy protected. Those shows cannot be downloaded. Thank Comcast or your cable monopoly. I haven't run across any OTA show marked as copy protected at all (haven't tried any sports). -- Doug McIntyre |
