Install ccXStream on TiVo S2 for XBMC

[tim_41774]

I'm trying to get ccXStream installed on the TiVo so that I can stream video to my XBox, however I (laugh) don't have a clue what I am doing.

I've got a Phillips 704, with an upgraded 120GB hard drive. Using Sleeper's 2.0 Installer, I've been able to configure the TiVo to be accessible via my ethernet network, with a LinkSys 200M USB NIC. Telnet, FTP and TiVoWeb are all working properly.

Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on how to install things on my own!! Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong, or what I need to add?

Thanks in advance!

Well first off you never run a makefile. A makefile holds all the necessary information a compiler requires to make binaries from the source code. I'm not familiar with ccXstream, but in general releases already have the Tivo binaries compiled for you, so it's just a matter of copying over the binary files to your tivo and running them. Check the Readme to see installation instructions.

I've checked the readme. It says it is very 'easy' to install on a TiVo. It says just run 'make tivo' and that'll do it. Unfortunately my implementation of the TiVo hacks, doesn't seem to have a command named 'make' so it just fails on me.

It is probably worth noting that all of the files that I have (at least most in '.h'; I know that means that it is the source code for a C compiler).

Maybe my question to the forum should be: How do I compile code for a TiVo, if I don't have MAKE?

Thanks again for helping this newbie (me)!

yuck, you'd need to build your own.

Luckily, other people have already been looking at this. Try this (http://dealdatabase.com/forum/showpost.php?p=155089&postcount=111) file.

Ok, I got it figured out -- here's the answer:
Download ccxstream-1.0.15-tivo.tar.gz

Extract ccxstream.exe (only file that is really important)
Upload that file to the TiVo
Set the proper CHMOD on ccxstream (I used chmod 755 ccxstream.exe)
Launch the executable by name: ccxstream.exe

And now I can view the .TY files from my Xbox using Xbox Media Center.

Now I've just got to figure out how/where there's a Menu Available.

Thanks for those who helped!

Odd that the file ended with .exe, that's a dos/windows naming convention, linux doesn't need/use extensions for executables. The file ran on your tivo without giving error messages?

I am trying to install the same. I've got a SA S2 running 4.01b. I've run sleeper's ISO and MFS_FTP is up and running, (along with TivoWebPlus). The file I've unzipped (ccXstream_S2) give to files, a "ccxfile.c" and "ccxstream". Do I ftp them both to the /var/hacks dir and then execute? There isn't a read me file that I can find. If so, is the executable just "ccxstream". If so, can I just add that to the rc.sysinit.author for auto run on start up? Thanks for any help.
