LLTD for DTivo?

[Biggles209]

Will anyone volunteer to compile, link, and post the executable for LLTD (so that DTiVo's will show up in a Windows Vista Network Map)?

The source is available at http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/rally/rallykit.mspx

TIA, Dave

Tivos will show up under "Network" if configured with a samba share. Is there some extra functionality you're looking for beyond that, such as UPnP support?

The MS documentation states that for the system to show up on the Network Map (a new thing in Vista that is part of the Network and Sharing Center) it has to have LLTD running. I think LLTD is different to UPnP in that it allows network topology discovery in addition to device discovery.

I was interested in trying it on my DTiVo's (four of them in two locations with a VPN link), but I have no facility to compile/link for MIPS/Linux. The MS web site implies that this is all that is required...

Go to cygwin.com and then go here.

Cool! Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes...

Here's 2 binaries compiled from the source you linked. A simple edit to the native-linux/Makefile was all that was needed. They appear to run fine on my Tosh SD-H400 though I don't have any personal use for them or a way to test them fully.

DVD_TiVo#[/var] $ ./lld2d

Thanks! Running them on my Philips DVR40 (with 6.2) gives the following:

ERROR: osl_interface_open: open eth0 failed: Address family not supported by protocol

I'm part way through setting up Cygwin, so I'll try building them here and then see if I can track the error down.

Thanks again!

Both Upnp and LLDT devices show up in the network browser if MicroSoftized. Not to be a downer, but it will show up, but I doubt you will be able to anything with it.

Even a Upnp server has to be Microsoftized (It has to export a certain folder structure and support MS's security extensions) to be usable in Vista.
