TiVo Publisher Version 1.3

Note: Version 1.31 is now available for download.

Version 1.3 is now available for download here. This update adds the following features:

• FLAC, OGG, M4A (AAC unprotected) audio formats are now supported.


• Video Aspect Ratios are preserved.


• Updated ffmpeg to newer release (2/5/2008, r11870).


• TagLib# library is now used to read audio file tags.


• Additional Video Metadata fields are now viewable on the TiVo (e.g., year, cast, ratings).


• Updated the Video Metadata Editor to support additional fields and added Search (using thetvdb.com, movie-xml.com, or Amazon). (See the previous post regarding the WHS data bug.)


• Re-arranged a few of the items in the Settings window.


• Added Audio Bitrate slider to the transcode settings.


• Better support for TiVo Series3/HD hardware.

The following bugs are also fixed:

• Encrypted TIVO files now transfer back correctly.


• Video folders work properly (1 subfolder down).


• Music shuffle now works properly.


• If a video transcoding error occurs (i.e., ffmpeg encodes no data), an error image is sent instead to notify that there was a problem; the ffmpeg error is also logged.


• Playlists now ignore missing files instead of stopping.

You will need to uninstall the previous version through the WHS Console, copy the MSI to the Software\Add-Ins folder, and install the new version.

• When prompted for credentials during installation, enter ".\Administrator" for the user and your Server password for the password. Note: If you receive a message that users cannot be mapped, then double check the username. It may be case sensitive.
