Welcome to pyTivo

pyTivo is both an HMO and GoBack server. Similar to TiVo Desktop pyTivo loads many standard video compression codecs and outputs mpeg2 video to the TiVo. However, pyTivo is able to load MANY more file types than TiVo Desktop.

• Output 4:3 or 16:9 and pad your video if needed.
• Transfer compatible mpegs without transcoding.
• Transfer TiVo recordings (.tivo) from computer to TiVo.
• Display MetaData about your video.
• Serve Music and Photos through HMO protocol
• Support for Windows, Linux, and Mac
