PODS For NodS Hey SaberMan, I'm thinking... "Percent On Disk" (POD) Just Edumacated Guessing. I'd be willing to bet that those metrics when added together or a representation of amount of space that is currently being occupied or used on the disk or storage device thus eating in systems management and that way you know which files are bigger and if you delete those larger files you have more room to record new larger files. April 2020 - COVID-19 , Corrupted Cable-Cabals create Coast To Coast chaos......
Looking at one of my TiVos I noticed that some of the entries in the first column have percentages next to the circle. What do the percentages represent?
You select an "Encoding profile" that encodes the .tivo to an .mp4. I use the "hb_tivo_hd_crf" profile, which is Handbrake for a Tivo HD recording, to an MP4 container, constant quality CRF=21, h.264 video, ac3 audio. If I looked deeper, I could probably find the profile settings and the handbrake options to change that to H.265/HEVC video and AAC/MP4a audio. I don't do any other processing (no TS download, no qs-fix, no ad detect or cut, no encoding, etc.) as I use another program (MCEBuddy) to...

kmttg is now supported on a tivo forum: https://www.tivocommunity.com/threads/new-program-for-1-step-ttg-downloads-decryption-encoding-kmttg.387725/
Kmttg, Does it always have to download a .tivo, or can I just download a .mpg/.mp4 without downloading .tivo also ? I am wondering if it isn't sophisticated enough to convert it in-stream and converts from the .tivo file to mpg or whatever after the download. I have searched for an option where it doesn't download .tivo but can't see one in the convoluted mess of an interface (So much for User Interface Designing after all these years.) Thanks for you time !!!
Just added the two files suggested here, worked first time I loaded KMTTG. Be sure to check the "Use RPC to get NPL when possible" option under"Program Options" if you unchecked it like I did, (when KMTTG stopped working back on Dec 11.)
https://github.com/lart2150/kmttg/releases/tag/v2.6-l Found this helpful everyone
Sorry, I am a newbie and use kttmg heavily. Can someone point me where to find the file on my pc. I can't find the file to put the 2 new cdata files. Thanks so much. And if anyone uses archivo, does anyone have that new .jar file? Thanks so much everyone!
Thank you, kind strangers! It's working for me, too!
Here are the two files in a zip. Just put the two files into the main kmttg folder ... the same one that config.ini and kmttg.jar are in. Worked for me also!
I found this helpful post (https://www.tivocommunity.com/threads/new-program-for-1-step-ttg-downloads-decryption-encoding-kmttg.387725/post-12461597) and the fix seems to be working... i.e. download the cdata.zip, extract files, make a backup copy of your kmttg file directory for sanity, insert the two new files into your kmttg directory and fire it up... Wroking right now for me... According to that post the new certificate is good until may 24, 2024... cheers! -mkn

Anyone know where / how to update the cert? seems like a simple thing killing a useful app.
I have the same question. How can we get the certificate updated?
It is Dec 11th, 2022....the day kmttg is no longer supported. So now that the certificate expired how can I obtain my list of Tivo shows, download them, use the remote feature and many other things? I unchecked "Use RPC to get NPL when possible" box, so now I can get my recorded shows/movies to pop-up but they don't display episode numbers or the year a movie was made like before, so when I download them, the episode number or the year of the movie does not get added to the title of the file like...
I don't know when this problem started because it's been a while since I've extracted recordings from my TiVo, but kmttg appears to be garbling the EIA closed captions that accompany most programs. The captions are fine when the program is played directly on the TiVo, but when the program is extracted by kmttg and viewed in a player like VLC, mpv, or IINA, the captions are scrambled, with many transposed and missing character sequences. If the captions are extracted with ccextractor they're garbled...

Thank you for the info.
Sadly, that is the official fate although folks are still pursuing work-arounds including a more updated cert that was posted Dec. 2021 here: https://www.tivocommunity.com/threads/new-program-for-1-step-ttg-downloads-decryption-encoding-kmttg.387725/post-12461597 (Start with the file in this post and read some of the subsequent discussion.)

On the main page it says the below.....does this mean the app will stop working after 12/11/22? IMPORTANT NOTE - ABANDONED PROJECT Latest kmttg releaseTiVo RPC certificate kmttg is using now expires December 11, 2022 (previous version expires December 2020).
Update: result is unchanged (no sound in .mp4 output) when downloading from a Tivo Roamio. Trying different profiles also has no effect. KMTTG must be broken because of some change other than tivo web server.
I just installed kmttg and am trying one tivo download to test the config. I also am getting a .mp4 output file with no sound while the .ts file in \mpg_out has sound. Also, download/save works fine using Archivo. My tivo is an old Premier XL that still works fine (knock on wood). I am guessing I have something configured wrong for the encode. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Great code. Works well. I'd like to expand the remote control options to allow other keys besides just the channel buttons ( i.e. to turn on subtitles on my cable box ). Does anybody know where I can get a like of the key ids?
I keep getting this message when trying to load the play list http IO exception for: Command=QueryContainer&Container=/NowPlaying&Recurse=Yes&ItemCount=32&AnchorOffset=0 Connection reset Failed to retrieve Now Playing List from Man Cave Check YOUR MAK & IP settings
While I feel a bit devastated to learn that kmttg development has been "abandonded" (ended), I just wanted to thank @moyekj for all of the effort that went into creating and maintaining this software for us power Tivo users over the past several years. It was brillant little solution for Tivo management (far superior to the old desktop software from Tivo) and I'm hopeful that while it may be unlikely it will see any new features, someone will come along and be able to keep it functioning by updating...
I'll take that as a no...
Version 2.4p does not work for me. Any pointers or are we dead here?
Noticed Version P out so updated and the issue resolved! Thanks KMTTG!
As it turned out, my TiVo Desktop app only needed the MAK set again. Worked fine after.
Wondering if anyone else has been converting .TiVo on windows 10 machines that have experienced this too. In the logs at bottom in the red text I also see a note. NOTE: You must have at least partial TiVo Desktop install for DirectShow Dump to work. I do, and it worked two or three days ago. I'm hoping cat didn't walk on keyboard during processing and changing some of the choices at top. :( I'll reinstall TiVo desktop and hope for the best.

SOLVED - I am now using tivolibre (Comcast entries have trouble with tibodecode).
Looks like a problem with tivodecode. Error message: tivodecode failed (exit code: -1073741819 ) - check command: "C:\Program Files\kmttg\tivodecode\tivodecode.exe" --mak MAK --no-verify --out "C:\Users\Sarge\Documents\My TiVo Recordings\Andrea Mitchell Reports - 09-30-2020 30.mpg" "C:\Users\Sarge\Documents\My TiVo Recordings\Andrea Mitchell Reports - 09-30-2020 30.TiVo" I tried reinstallin tivodecode via "update tools". No joy.
I used to have auto transfers happening just fine, and files downloaded using "start jobs", but it's stopped working, and I can't figure out why. I used to get playable .mpeg and .ts files, but not now. The problem seemed to start when I uninstalled Tivo Decktop from my PC, but reinstalling it did not seem to help. .mpg files produced are unplayable in VLC or Windows media player. Current settings given in attachments.
Best I can tell, the uncolored rows are recordings you can transfer without problem. Colored rows are ones the station/channel encoded as to not be transferrable (DRM enabled).
Thank you for this. I get back an acceptable Java version from this command. However, kttmg still won't run for it claims I need to install JDK. I did get it to work and documented how here: https://kurttappe.com/2020/09/18/enabling-java-in-macos/
Yes, I have just tried running it. Even though I installed the latest version of Java for OS X, I'm still told that kttmg won't run because I need to install a JRE. After banging my head against it for a while, I did get it working. I've authored a blog post to tell others how to get the Mac to recognize Java is installed and get kttmg to work. Here it is: https://kurttappe.com/2020/09/18/enabling-java-in-macos/
Thank you for this. I get back an acceptable Java version from this command. However, kttmg still won't run for it claims I need to install JDK. So other commands are needed to get it working on MacOS.
Yes, I have just tried running it. Even though I installed the latest version of Java for OS X, I'm still told that kttmg won't run because I need to install a JRE.

No, I cannot remove the dynamic link per the instructions above; "rm: /usr/bin/java: Operation not permitted". So new instructions are needed. kttmg is dead in the water for Mac users until they...
Thank you for this inofrmation, very helpful!
SOLVE for me at least. I was screwing around with the settings and found that I had TS Download turned off. I check that and the downloads started working. Then I added the Decrypte feature and that worked too. Now everything is downloading correctly and if watchable in VLC.

Just curious if anyone has written an encoder to make prores files using ffmpeg. I know this is doable in ctivo but I was hoping to get this to work using ktmmg on my windows machine
I would like to be able to download a program on my Roamio to a MP4 file. I download the zip file and unzipped it. I double clicked the .jar file and entered my MAK. I right clicked the program I wanted. . . . the program is on my hard dsik as a .tivo file and a .ts file. All the check boxes {ts download to encode} are checked except custom. What did I do wrong?

kmttg configuration under file menu not working
I have used (and enjoyed) this product for years. I have two TiVos. Onw is very old with slow ethernet and the other is not so very old with more rapid ethernet. I do not know what I did to configure this but for years it downloaded from the new Tivo until recently. Now it downloads from the older one which takes twice as long. Both are recording many of the same programs. How do I switch back to the newer TiVo. I have searched the configuareion and cannot find a solution. Thanks! And thanks for...
I could post my compiled jar but my hope is one of the maintaiers of kmttg will merge this change and then release a new version.
Sp I am a vb.net programmer but I haven't a clue what to do with this java code. Any simple pointers?
I really like this idea. I wrote a small patch to add this as a feature to the cli args.
It would be helpful to add a check and display a user friendly message about the lack of javafax. I've attached a patch that does just that. If you think it would be of use I could also look at refactoring config.java so headless opperations can work without javafx.

Gave up. Purchased EaseFab Video Converter, so I'm just using Firefox to grab ".TiVo" files then run the EaseFab to strip the wrapper and deliver mp4 at original resolution. Seems to work well.
Does anyone else have a problem with kmttg not sorting shows into folders as it used to? Neither Right Click or (t) has any effect. Thanks
Hi, I've been useing kmttg for years and I find it quite useful. One thing I've been wondering is if there is any way to manually transfer recordings from the web interface? I know you can list current recordings and the todo list, as well as transcode current recordings on the fly. Is there any way though to do a manual transfer equivalent to highlighting a show in the Java interface and clicking start jobs? Even if it's not in the UI, is there an endpoint that accomplishes this? Thanks!
I've just run into an issue with certain titles on my TiVo that have a secondary audio track. KMTTG downloads the title but only with the secondary (not main) audio track. Is there a way to pick the audio track that downloads?
I've used kmttg for many years on several Macs without any problem but I'd like to get it on my newer laptop. Problem with kmttg upon fresh install of v2.4o -- first sign something is wrong is that it didn't find my TiVos (on the same network), nor could I manually install them by their IP. I notice that on startup on first install, it shows a large number of "Extracting File" activities and then "mdns error: Can't assign requested address" -- displayed in red. There's a suggestion for us Java 8...
My Roamio has over 1 TB of recording on it and the only way, I can find, to transfer the recordings to my new Edge is via "TiVo Online". With my upload 871kbs connection that's over 20 hrs. I installed “kmttg” but can't determine how to transfer TiVo to TiVo! I would also like to do the "Ad Detect, Ad Cut" on non "Skip" recordings.

I tried downloading again without TS downloads being checked, and the video decoded. However, only the audio played. With the TS downloads checked continue to get permission denied error. When playing the TiVo file through Windows Media Player also only plays audio. I added to my Word document and note the different error codes in the log when not using or using TS downloads.

Hi all, Will kmttg still auto transfer/run if the GUI is closed and I have the service running? Does the program use the comercial skip times when it is ad detecting even though I have it running through Videoredo? Or how to set it up to use the comercial skip that is already with the tv show? That would seem the most accurate way to cut the comercials. Thanks everyone hope you are all haveing a great weekend!

Hi, Love kmttg, best part of owning a tivo. I have 2 tivos, both roamio pros. Kmttg works great, both show up fine. What I'd like, if possible, would be if kmttg could do transfers between the two? I can transfer via the tivo roamios themselves, but it'd be great to do it within kmttg. I havent updated kmttg for a bit, so if it got added, let me know! Thanks Jack

Hi, Corey. Are you able to do other auto transfers? I have not been able to get them to work at all. I get an error message when trying to do autotransfers/configure, so can't even get started. I posted a request for help some months ago, but no one has replied. --Sarge
