TiVo Desktop 2.4
« on: February 23, 2007, 09:30:42 pm »

Trying to watch .tivo files with MC12, the files appear to load and the timer clock starts running but no audio or video.  What am I doing wrong?

Thanks! :)

Hi Tim,

I've never tried this, but aren't .tivo files protected against playback? You have to use the TiVo player or something?

I don't think so John, by default it launches Microsoft's Media Player. :)

I might be missing a CODEC however, I'll reinstall and install TiVo Desktop.

Thanks!

Here's a link, and I'll ask Yaobing to help with the direct show part:

googling .tivo files will bring up a ton more info...

The .tivo files are protected, though MC should be able to play them with direct show I think.

Last time I tried a tivo file, someone sent me the file for testing. It did not work on my computer because it was protected. I was asked to enter a password which I did not have  ;D

In MC, we do send Tivo files to DirectShow playback engine. You will need proper filters to play them.

I don't think so John, by default it launches Microsoft's Media Player. :)

Does Windows Media Player play the file correctly?

Trying to watch .tivo files with MC12, the files appear to load and the timer clock starts running but no audio or video.  What am I doing wrong?

While MC is playing it, right-click on the video window and choose "DirectShow Filters". What filters are listed?

Sorry!

Thanks Tim, if you'd like, you can summarize all this in the wiki at this place:
