[MPlayer-users] Mplayer Cygwin and Tivo/Vserver 1.2

[Juan Jimenez]

In a msg on Aug 27 04 joey at nicewarrior org mentioned this new feature in 
Mplayer 

  # support for tivo:// URLs to stream from a vstream-enabled tivo 

I'm using vserver 1.2 on a series 1 phillips tivo, and it seems to come up 
just fine on port 8074. 

However, when I try to get to the tivo with mplayer-cygwin (latest on the 
mplayer web site), I get this: 

C:\Program Files\MPlayer>mplayer tivo://wga_bridge/list 
MPlayer 1.0pre7-3.4.2 (C) 2000-2005 MPlayer Team

Exiting... (End of file) 

C:\Program Files\MPlayer> 

I am not sure what it's looking for in a "hostname" part. I am running the 
program on Windows XP with all service packs, Acer Veriton 7500 1.7 ghz P4 
with 768mb of RAM and lots of disk space. I've searched the mailing lists 
and have not found anything that mentions this. In fact, I found very little

that mentions the Tivo at all...
