Linux Requirements
Python Version 2.4 or Greater
pyTivo requires Python 2.4. If a binary package (ie .rpm or .deb) of 2.4 or later isn't available for your Linux distribution grab the source from http://www.python.org/download/. ./configure && make && make install is likely all it will take.
- Debian Install
- apt-get install python2.4
- This will install python2.4 as an additional package to python. To run python version 2.4 you will need to run python2.4 as demonstrated in the init.d script.
- apt-get install python2.4
FFmpeg
pyTivo requires ffmpeg. If a binary package isn't available for your Linux distribution (doubtful) or you just want to build it yourself the source is available from http://ffmpeg.mplayerhq.hu/download.html
Linux Install
Download the latest pyTivo-nnn.zip from http://armooo.net/~armooo/pyTivo/downloads/
unzip pyTivo-nnn.zip
cd pyTivo
vi pyTivo.conf (note: I think ubuntu uses the default pyTivo port so you may have to change it in the pyTivo.conf)
/path/to/python pyTivo.py
enjoy!!
Run pyTivo as a daemon
To run pyTivo as a daemon on start and in background there is an example init.d script below.
