Failed Download from Tivo Series 3

Closed this issue · 1 comments

Using cTivo 3.4.2 beta2 (1123) on a MacOS 10.15.6 (Mojave)
I am trying to download a 4GB file from the Tivo Series 3 however the software fails and tries again after 405MB.

Attempted both video format default and iphone/ipad to no avail.

Unfortunately, TiVo does not support Transport Stream on the earliest TiVos, and TS is required to download MP4 shows. So as your cable company converts channels from MP2 to MP4, you lose the ability to download shows on that channel. (The reason you’re still getting ~10% is that the audio portion can come across, but not the video.)

So, unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do for this case.
