about tystreamer
tystreamer is a proxy server which pulls programs from your
TiVo and re-streams them to the client at a
lower bit-rate so that it can be viewed in real-time
over bandwidth-challenged network connections, such as
802.11b or the internet. It does this by using
VideoLAN Client with tivo-specific plugins to re-encode the video in
real-time and stream it to the client as Flash Video.
TyStreamer has been tested on Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger).

Known Issues:
Windows is not yet supported as a server; only *NIX based solutions with stdin support. *FIXED*- Requires vstream-client patched for stdout; not necessarily an issue, but certainly an additional requirement
See the CHANGELOG for more details.
Bug Fix! - An update to the vstream-client patch broke the current build of TyStreamer, and I fixed the Windows bug (I think). Download 3.0b1.1 for fixes.
10/29/2005 - tystreamer v2.0 released - "It would take a Miracle!"
Stable release of TyStreamer 2.0! From 2.0b1, minor bug fix and usability improvements.
It all just works!
New features include:
- simpler to kill streaming, better stream detection
- audio issues with WMP fixed (thanks to tmembrino)
- stream-size drop-down fix
- minor usability updates
Known Issues:
-
Mac OS X is currently not supported. This is an issue with VLC on Mac.
VLC on Mac OS X will only run while logged into a gui session, and will not
run from the web server session. It's possible that a special build of VLC
can be used to support TyStreamer, but this is still in development.
See the CHANGELOG for more details.
