How to install tyserver.ppc.sh


This package contains the Tivo side daemons necessary for remote editing
and remote retrieval of TyStreams.

You will need to FTP the tyserver.ppc.sh over to your Tivo. It is VERY
IMPORTANT that you transfer this file in BINARY MODE. This is how to do
it in the command line FTP client present in Linux/Windows/Mac:

ftp <tivo ip address>
[login stuff]
cd /var
bin
put tyserver.ppc.sh
quit

You can now telnet to your tivo and type "bash /var/tyserver.ppc.sh" (or
wherever else you may have uploaded tyserver.ppc.sh) this will start the
installation, and all you need to do is answer three simple questions.
You can just hit enter at each question and it will pick the default
option - this will install the programs in the right location and launch
tyserver and tyindex, as well as automaticaly configure your rc.sysinit.
Your origional rc.sysinit will be backed up automaticaly by the script if
you opt to change it. Note, if you run the installer a second time, (e.g.
to upgrade) it will *not* attempt to configure the rc.sysinit again.

Tyserver and tyindex are now ready to use - however it will take some time
to index each recording. This is the purpose of the tyindex daemon, it
indexes the streams in advance so that when it comes time for editing, you
don't have to wait. That said, it would be a good idea to wait at least a
few hours after installing the tyserver before you do remote editing on
your tivo.

We also STRONGLY suggest that you don't do any remote editing if you see
that there is no index available in the now showing list in TyEditor. In
this case, it would be much faster to just download it first instead.
