TiVo Source Code

Has anyone seen this?

http://www.tivo.com/linux/index.html

yes, that has been there since the beginning. Since tivo runs GNU/linux and other GPL'd code, anything which they modified for their use must have the source released. That page fufills that requirement. That is where we have been able to obtain the tivo kernel source. however, if you are looking for the source to myworld/tivoapp, the tivo user interface, you are out of luck. that is proprietary, and they are under no obligation to release that code (and I am sure they won't).

I kinda figured it wasn't anything useful, that's why I asked before spending too much time figuring out what was there.

I was sure if it had to do with TiVo that someone more knowledgable than I would know about it.

Thanks for the information/validation. I had just stumbled across the link, and a quick search of the forum didn't come up with anything.

well, to say that it isnt useful is going too far. it gives us part of the necessary info to get into the tivo system, such as whether their are certain checks being performed by the kernel.

I should have qualified my useful comment with "useful to me." I'm just a hack, I have no idea how these things actually work.:)
