Title: I bought MC for one reason and now it's broken
Post by: genearch on October 13, 2003, 10:36:53 pm

I bought a Windows PC to serve up a Windows Media radio station to my 3 TiVo's. It worked for a couple of months but now the station changed providers and is now using Liquid Compass.

Can anyone help me get this stream back to my TiVo's?

Hi genearch,

I cannot get this stream to play in Media Center, much less be able to stream it to the TiVo. How about you?

Liquid Compass says they support windows media, shoutcast and real networks, and we can stream the first two to TiVo if we can figure out how to get the stream.

I'd suggest you contact kfi640 and express your displeasure at being forced to choose a product (windows media player) that does not do what you want (stream to TiVo).

Actually, I am now able to open the stream " http://ccdig.liquidviewer.com/kfi " in MC but it immediately fails when I try to run it on the TiVo. It's there on the TiVo

Here's the error:

11/03/03 00:10:45 - TiVo HTTP: ready for another connection
11/03/03 00:10:45 - could not open <http://ccdig.liquidviewer.com/kfi>

Odd, I'm listening to that very stream right now. (9.1.291) I added it under "web media" and then added it to a playlist so the Tivo would see it.

It's working: TiVo will now play WMA streams.

It'll be in the next release (v10)
