\r

\r
377 <b>To Delete a Share</b><br>
\r
378 Select the share in the left hand menu and click delete.<br><br>
\r
380 <b>To Add a Section</b><br>
\r
381 Click the add share button. Then provide the name of the share or TiVo. You must save your
\r
382 changes before you can edit settings in the new share.<br><br>
\r
384 <b>To Add a Setting</b><br>
\r
385 Select you share first. If the setting is a known setting simply add the value to the appropriate setting.
\r
386 If the setting is not listed you can add a "User Defined Setting". Simple click add setting and provide
\r
387 the name and value of this new setting.<br><br>
\r
389 <b>To Delete a Setting</b><br>
\r
390 Delete the value of the setting so that it is blank. If this is a known share the name will remain after a save.
\r
391 If the setting is a user defined setting the name will be deleted after the save.<br><br>
\r
393 <b>Save Settings</b><br>
\r
394 Clicking Save Settings will write your changes to the pyTivo.conf file. These settings will not have an effect on

397 <b>Soft Reset</b><br>
\r
398 Soft Reset allows your new settings to take effect without manually restarting the TiVo. The Soft Reset will cause
\r
399 a re-read of the pyTivo.conf file so your changes must be saved to the file before the reset. <b>Note:</b> The only
\r
400 setting that will not take effect until a hard restart is the Port setting. Changing the Port setting requires a full

637 choose the default server video bit rate used in transcoding. FFmpeg
\r
638 does not strictly follow this bit rate, there is a certain level of

639 tolerance that is allowed. Also a low quality file will always have a

640 low bit rate. The default is likely fine for most users. Higher values

663 choose the maximum bit rate and is more strict than the <a href="http://pytivo.armooo.net/wiki/ConfigurepyTivo#video_br">video_br</a>
\r
664 setting above. However setting this can cause buffer overflows and can
\r
665 cause issues with ffmpeg. In addition to setting the ffmpeg maxrate
\r
666 option, this setting is used to determine if the video bitrate of the
\r
667 source video file is too high for the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/TiVo">TiVo</a>. Otherwise compatible
\r
668 mpeg's with a video bitrate above this setting will be transcoded

669 rather than sent to the <a class="wiki" href="/wiki/TiVo">TiVo</a>

670 untouched. Raising this setting much higher than the default will likly
\r
671 result in pixelation during playback. Recommended only for skilled

748 following line:<br>

\r
751 %(buff_size)s -comment pyTivo.py -acodec ac3 -ab %(audio_br)s -ar 48000
\r
754 The major difference is that this does not alter the dimensions of the
\r
755 video. The native height and width setting of the video used to
\r
756 transcode the video. This will only work for HD and S3 units. So far
\r
757 there has not been any report of dimensions which the HD units will not
\r
758 accept. Additionally this line increases the audio frequency setting to
\r
759 48000 too. <strong>Example Settings:</strong> See Above

\r
860 <strong>Description:</strong> In order to verify that
\r
861 the video files present on your computer were compatible with ffmpeg in
\r
862 older versions pyTivo would query ffmpeg for each file. While this
\r
863 information was cached it still caused a delay in the initial loading
\r
864 of a list of files. This precache setting forced pyTivo to inspect each
\r
865 video prior to starting the pyTivo server. However, this had two
\r
866 drawbacks. 1. It took time as much as two minutes before pyTivo was
\r
867 ready to accept requests. 2. It did not update the cache if new files
\r
868 were added while the pyTivo server was running. <br>
\r
870 In the more recent releases, anything after Feb 16, 2008, pyTivo no
\r
871 longer needs to query ffmpeg when creating a file list. Instead pyTivo
\r
872 has a list of accepted video format extensions. If the file extension
\r
873 falls within this list it is displayed on the TiVo. This achieves the
\r
874 same speed increase as the precache method without the delay in loading
\r
875 the pyTivo server. <br>
\r
877 There are still two drawbacks to this method. 1. The video file must
\r
878 have an extension that is in the list. There is a possibility that a
\r
879 new video file extension could come out before pyTivo is updated. 2.
\r
880 Incomplete or video files with errors will still appear in the TiVo
\r
881 listing if they have the correct extension, even though they are not
\r
882 valid files. Both of these concerns are minimal. 1. Very few new
\r
883 formats of video files come out very often. And all extensions are
\r
884 stored in the video.ext file which is easily edited. 2. When viewing
\r
885 the file details before transferring the pyTivo server queries ffmpeg
\r
886 to make sure it is valid. If the file is not valid it will show up as a
\r
887 copyrighted file and transferring it will be prevented by TiVo. <br>
