So does it appear that XMPP is being used? I read the link provided by gmd and it seems to make sense. PaulS I think XMPP is already in 9.2 and used for the current amazon unbox already??

It looks like everything going to mind.tivo.com is to find the correct xmpp server.

I was able to get this response.

Yes this is the real armooo.

It looks like like XMPP may not be needed to push requests to the tivo. It seems like this POST would work.

Wow if that is the case, this could be very easy to implement.

Sample code to create a x-tivo/dict-binary from a python dict.

I am going to have to try watching the xmpp traffic. I have been sending requests to mind.tivo.com and have been getting the same responses at tivo desktop, but I am not seeing any results.

Here is the test script I have been using.

I was wondering why TiVo Desktop transcoding and transferring is so slow! I am guessing they are not using ffmpeg. Is that because it cannot be used with commercial software?

It is starting to look like tivodesktop it talking directly to the tivo to push the videos. The only thing I have seen over XMPP is a request to update when I sellected some CNET thing on my tivo. It looks like the HME app sends a push to tivo desktop to check its feeds. And then tivo desktop directly tells the tivo to start downloading the file. Still only a guess at this point I may hve been doing something wrong with the HTTP POSTS last night. I think the next step is to watch the https traffic from the PC to the TIVO.

x-tivo/dict-binary format

Dict = <Pairs>0x80
Pairs = <Key>0x01<Value>0x00
Value = <String> | <Dict>
Key = <String>
String = <Size>text
Size = 7 bit size bit 8 always set

Select "Download this program" on Tivo

Tivo Desktop gets sent a XMMP message to update

I have just pushed my first video to the tivo. The video is being served up from pytivo. I used a very messy script external to pytivo to send the request to mind.tivo.com with a few posts. I am going to clean that script up. And post it.

Here it is.

You need to set username, password, tsn and url.

Run it and your tivo should start downloading video.

It may stop transferring early, and it uses the names from the push not from pytivo. It also acts like a unbox download and will not let you start watching until it thinks you can watch it to the end.

The partnerId is a magic number. I did not see how to get it from the server. I just saw my tivo desktop sending it. I am not sure if it needs to change for each account.

It should not overwrite your tivo desktop's existing pcBodyId. But it will create one if you have not linked your account yet. I don't see why this would not work without a plus key, but I have one so it has not been tested.

I would like to know if this works for anyone else.

Very very cool. I can't get it to work yet but it seems like you are close.

I get this error
