TiVoBridge software repeats the TiVo discovery beacon and Multicast DNS packets to facilitate communication between devices. It supports protocols such as ZeroConf, Bonjour, and Rendevous.
The software comes with a sample configuration for a two-router, three-subnet network, but it is highly flexible and can be adapted to various network configurations. TiVoBridge was created under Linux, but its source code is portable to other operating systems.
It is important to note that while TiVoBridge does what it is designed to do, it is still unclear whether or not it supports TiVo video transfers across subnets. Users are encouraged to test this and provide feedback to the developers.
The software can be easily used via the command line interface with various options, such as specifying a configuration file, username, or enabling verbose mode.
The latest release of TiVoBridge includes a network interface filter and certain compatibility fixes for BSD operating systems. Overall, TiVoBridge is a useful tool for enabling communication across subnets for TiVo and other devices using similar protocols.
