TiVo

Media Center supports TiVo's Home Media Option.

What you need

• TiVo 2 DMR (with Home Media)

TiVo Server Options

To access these options, go to Services & Plug-ins > TiVo Server in the tree, and select the Options button in the content pane (to the right).

• Port Selection. Automatic Port Selection will search for the first available port number between 8070 and 8080. You can manually enter a Port number here.
• Convert Audio Content. You can set the TiVo Server to automatically convert all audio files to a recognized format (such as mp3). Select the audio format in the drop-down menu, then select the Advanced button. This will open a box with a variety of choices, depending on your selection.

TiVo Server and Smartlists

See UPnP Server and Devices (Media Receivers)#UPnP and Random Smartlists for an explanation of how random smartlists are handled - the TiVo server does them in exactly the same way as the UPnP server.
