Tim. Awesome App! Works great! Worth every penny (and then some). Curious why volume control is 'grayed out'/non-functional. Probably just not possible. Haven't tryed/figured out how to add channel list (is that like creating your own favorite channels?) Checking out the shortcuts now. Bravo! Tim, Bravo!

Hi,

Thanks a bunch…Yes, unfortunately, there is no built-in volume control for
the Tivo itself, and the volume is coming from your TV or your A/V receiver,
which the Tivo has no control over. I wish it did!

Yes, the Channel list lets you create a custom (favorite) channel list, and
optionally you can put the logos in a tivoremote folder on your sdcard, to
make it look nice.

Glad your enjoying it!

Ok, here's what I discovered about the shortcuts. I have a TiVo HD. All work for me except Football Filter (was really hoping for that one!) Netflix and 30 second skip. Would also like a way to remove a shortcut or somehow disable a shortcut (perhaps to be replaced by Restore Defaults?) Cause I can see myself accidentally hitting Standby! Again, great App! Two Thumbs WAY UP!

Hmm… I need to checkout the downloadable ones (Football Filter and
Netflix) since they weren't created by me.

The 30 second skip probably works, you just don't know it – it toggles
the Advance ( –>| ) button from its regular use (which jumps to the end or
beginning of your recording) to being a 30 second skip button. After you run
the shortcut once, when you press Advance, it should now skip 30 secs
forward, assuming you are not at the end of your recording. If you run the
shortcut again, it returns the button to its normal function… it's great
for skipping through commercials.

You can remove shortcuts by long-clicking them to get a menu. If you remove
one that you didn't want to, you can re-download them.

Tim, just bought the app last week and absolutely love it, been playing around with by my TiVo HDs and it works great.

The only thing I would improve is a way to add channels to the list without using the Android (txt or xml file)

Glad you are enjoying it! I'm not sure about adding channels without using
android, but I definitely want to make sure the channels are saved to the SD
card. We'll see what I can get implemented.

Hey Tim. Love the app! Had a few questions though about the on-screen keyboard. With my Tivo HD, searching in YouTube, I find that the keyboard input works properly on the first try but subsequent searches are muddled. Often the previous search term will populate the input field before my new search term is tacked on the end. Other times the cursor will start in the wrong spot, turning my search term into gibberish. I'm, of course, being careful to select the proper number of columns and being sure to place the cursor on the 'A' at the start of my search.

Any thoughts what might be going on here? Was also wondering: since TiVo has announced some true keyboard support (and claims there's hardware on the way), is it possible to use that API instead of emulating keyboard input with the N,S,E,W, Select interface?

Keep up the good work. Best 99 cents I ever spent.

-Ralph

Just so you know. I think TiVo has IR blaster functionality so it would be theoretically possible to control your receiver or TV volume from the WiFi interface, however you'd be required to buy an extra piece of hardware for your TiVo to make it IR out capable

Hi Ralph,

Yes, I definitely see the YouTube search issue… I'm unsure if this is
something odd in the way the YouTube search works, or something my app is
doing – sounds like the app, and I'll definitely look into it. Hopefully
that will fix the weirdness, but it is hard to make the keyboard search work
everywhere since Tivo incorporated so many different keyboard layouts. As
for a keyboard API, I doubt that they will update the Network Remote feature
to include that ability, but let's hope!

I will look into the IR blaster, but I doubt that it will help me add volume
capability to the app, because the Network Remote feature does not allow you
to send the commands that would be needed, even if they exist internally.
It's a shame they didn't include IR in any Android devices… then we would
be all set!

Tivo remote worked on my previous Sprint Hero. On the new Hero, it does not seem to find my Series 3 HD Tivo manually or auto (times out). Usual suspects are taken care of: Wifi is on, Remte is enabled on Tivo, network IP address is correct
Do I need to chose peanut full, fitted or basic and call TIVO a name or let network find it. Tried all options,.
What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

I responded via e-mail, hopefully that helps out…

I am suffering from what seems to be the same issue. can you please give me any advice you might have. Also i know the tivo can be found on the network if i type the IP in the browser on the Hero the index page pops up.

Hi there,

The typical resolutions for these issues are as follows:

1) Verify your Wifi is connected on your phone. Also make sure that you are
not connected to a “guest” access, which some routers have (that only allows
web traffic)
2) Verify that your Tivo IP has not changed. If you are using DHCP, you
might need to redetect your Tivo(s)
3) Restart your Tivo(s), and then disable/re-enable the Network Remote
Control feature
4) Your router might be blocking the port that is needed for TivoRemote to
work. TivoRemote uses port 31339. Some routers block access to this port
even between LAN devices (your phone to your Tivo). You may need to open it.

Feel free to email me if you are still having trouble – timhoeck@gmail.com

-Tim

using app on my droid. I can't get my app find my Tivo HD and when I enter the default name and ip address it still doesn't work. Yes, I turned on the network remote feature. I also went into my router and opened port 31339 but not sure if i needed to do it as TCP or UDP? tell me which one to use and if you have any thoughts on why i am not connecting.

Hi Laura,

For the port, it would be TCP. Some things you may want to try are listed on
the TivoRemote FAQ (http://timhoeck.com/tivoremote/), specifically try
restarting your tivo, and disabling, and then re-enabling the Network Remote
Control feature.Some routers also tend to block internal (LAN) traffic. If
you can tell me what type of router you have, I can probably help further.
Feel free to email me for additional help – timhoeck@gmail.com

Purchased this program last week for my Droid Incredible. Doesn't work. If I need to try all the suggestions noted in the messages below, then maybe the software needs more work. Not recommended.

Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear you are having trouble. Could you tell me if if you received
any error messages? Did you try manually adding the Tivo? The suggestions
below mostly are due to network behavior that are beyond my control in the
app. I'm looking into some possible solutions in the app itself to help out
with some of these issues.

Thanks,
Tim

Followed all your instructions to the letter. Phone is correctly connected to home wifi. Tivos in house work fine on wifi. Just doesn't work (connect). Sad, but not the end of the world. Hope your next upgrade works.

Hello! Please e-mail me your contacts. I have a question zachary@complective.ru” rel=”nofollow”>……

Thanks!…

This program is a dream program. I would love to see it work. I have played with every conceivable config that I know. Maybe because I have three series 3 tivo's there is an interaction; however, I manually entered all of the data, and had only one result. “Can't find Tivo” For 99 cents, I won't ask for a refund, but wait for improvement. I really want this one to work. I have a wireless router 192.168.1.2 and a wired router at 192.168.1.1
Tivo's all show up, Enabling has been enabled. All Linksys equipment. What else can I do?

Hi Tim, Just downloaded the app on my Droid. I am using it with a Tivo Premier and have problems with the keyboard. It seems like before it sends any commands to navigate the letters it is sending a “tivo” button push. So if I have it set on the keyboard- ready on the “A”, it goes to the main screen, and doesn't get back to the keyboard (I think Premier may have an extra layer of menus.)
Am I missing something? Thanks

Hi Chis,

This is definitely something I'll have to look into. The app itself attempts
to send either the 'Clear' button, or the 'Replay' button if the OSK has 5
columns (I don't recall but I think that is for the YouTube search?) – this
is to try and get the cursor back on its starting point. It seemed to work
for all of the search screens that I tested (including the Beta Search) but
I do not have a Premiere box.Can you tell me a couple things:

1) Are you sure you selected the correct number of columns for the on screen
keyboard before pressing send
2) What screen are you attempting to search/type on?
3) On that screen, does either pressing either clear or replay exit back to
the Tivo menu?

If anyone else with Premiere boxes is having this issue, please feel free to
chime in!

1) Are you sure you selected the correct number of columns for the on screen
keyboard before pressing send
<< Yes, just triple checked
2) What screen are you attempting to search/type on?
<< From Tivo Central-> Find TV, Movies, & Videos->Search
3) On that screen, does either pressing either clear or replay exit back to
the Tivo menu?
<<clear does not, but the replay does.

Thanks for looking into this.

Is there a way I can use the keyboard without having it send the replay command?
Thanks again

Hi Chris,

With the current app, that would not be possible.. I am reworking the entire
search piece – can I get you to do some testing for me? I'll contact you via
email…

Thanks,
Tim

I purchased the program for my Droid yesterday, and it works pretty well. The one problem I found is that when searching YouTube through TIVO, the key board doesn't work properly no matter which first line I select. (Maybe becuase the first line actually has three options (not 4, 5, or 9).

I just bought this app for my new HTC Evo, does not work with my Tivo Series 3. Would welcome any feed back from Tim as how to get this app working. Thank you.

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for this app. Saved me decent amount of cash and labor, so I didn't need to run IR repeater to the living room from bedroom. So far, works great, but for unknown to me reason, Aspect button does nothing at all. Hopefully you will get a chance to look at it.

What I found yesterday, after reinstalling Android 2.1 on my evo, that sometimes program will add spaces in IP addresses as you type. Backspace few times after every dot in IP address to make sure there are no spaces, and you should be good to go.

Hi Yuriy,

Thanks for that, glad you got it working! I thought I had corrected this,
but I will put it on my todo list for the next version.

Is there a way to have the Rhapsody search entered from the remote keypad? The first row of the on-screen alphabet has 5 letters, but the CLR and DEL etc are on the right hand side instead of the top (like Tivo search), so the keyboard search keypresses don't work.

Hi,

I will add the Rhapsody search to my todo list. If you would like to help

test before release, please let me know. Thanks!

Sorry for being lazy.. but what is the dimensions you use for the channel logo images on the channels list? Cheers

Hi Chris,

Try 40×56 for the icons. Hope this helps! I hope to have some updates for

the way this works in the future..

Thanks,

Tim

Awesome app, just trying to get the channel logos to work. I have created the tivoremote folder on the sd card and placed the .jpg files within this folder but am not having any luck with getting them to come through. I have tried naming them by channel 1.jpg or channel1.jpg or channelnumber1.jpg or is it meant to be the same name that you give the channel? any help would be great, cheers.

Hi there,

You are correct in the location and naming for the files. It should be:

/sdcard/tivoremote/123.jpg (for channel 123)

Make sure that you are using .jpg images, and make sure that if it is a

channel such as “12.1″, you name the file “12.1.jpg”

Most likely the issue lies in the fact that you probably still have your

device connected via usb, with the sdcard mounted. If the sdcard is in use

by your computer, the system cannot load the files, so they will not show

up. Make sure you have disconnected from usb, and the sdcard has been

unmounted. If you still have the channels screen on, you may need to leave

it and come back in for the images to be loaded.

Hope this helps!

Just to confirm – is “sdcard” a subdirectory off the root of the SD card?
i.e. should it look like:
L:sdcardtivoremote
or
L:tivoremote
where “L” is the drive assignment of the SD card?
I've tried both with no results. Also – does it matter if there is text in the “Channel Name” field?
The app works great, but I would like the logos vs. the channel names
Thanks
Michael J.

Hi there,

/sdcard would be your L: drive when you plug it up to your computer. So it

should be 'L:tivoremote'

An example file would be:

L:tivoremote123.jpg

a) Make sure you use jpg, the currently published version doesn't supported

png's

b) You need to Unmount (disconnect safely) your device before the app can

read the files. If you unmount, and are still in the Channels screen, you

might need to exit the channel screen and go back in to see your logos.

Hope that helps!

Sure…would be glad to test. Sorry for the late reply.

OK, I am now getting the No Communication error: There was a problem communicating with your Tivo: Please check your Tivo settings. TivoRemote uses port 31339. Make sure your router/firewall is not blocking this port.

So, I checked my router, and I did enable port 31339 with protocol TCP and it has the correct IP address for the Tivo.
I checked the Tivo, and the network remote is enabled.
I checked the app (where I added the Tivo manually) and it's got the correct IP address and network information.

So I'm not sure where I've gone wrong.
It did work for a few weeks when I first installed it, but just in the last week or so have I had this problem, I haven't been able to use it at all.
Luckily not a big deal, as my husband usually has the actual tivo remote in his hand, but I like to have my own sometimes, too!!!
Using it on HTC Evo with Froyo 2.2
and Tivo HD

Hi Kimba,

This is most likely one of two things:

- Your Tivo IP might have changed, try rescanning, or updating it manually.

You can find your Tivo IP address under Messages & Settings, Settings, Phone

& Network.

- Occasionally the Network Remote Control feature can stop working, try

disabling it, and re-enabling it – or restart your Tivo under Messages &

Settings, Restart or Reset System, Restart the Tivo Digital Media Recorder.

I have a new version that should be ready very soon that will correct a

number of issues with connection problems.

Hope this helps!

-Tim

Seems like this would be a great app, but the keyboard function simply doesn't work on my Tivo Premiere. I have yet to get it to input a single letter correctly on the tivo search menu. Most of the time it exits the search menu, but once it input totally incorrect letters. I have a 5-letter keyboard on my tivo and I really want this app to work. Can someone help me out?

I have an update in the works which will correct a lot of the typing issues.

The Premiere (and now even Series 3) supports direct input typing, so there

will not be a need on most screen to use the 'ouija' type method (which is

not always accurate). I'm hoping to have this update ready by this weekend.

Thanks,

Tim

The scanning has never worked, I input it manually… and it's correct.
Tried both in point two, still doesn't work.
Thanks for trying, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the new version helps!

Hi there,

Market errors typically are due to a poor or limited internet connection, or

issues with the market servers themselves. Unfortunately, I do not have

control over these issues.

Thanks,

Tim

The writeup in the “Market” says that this will work with the Tivo Premiere. I bought it and now it says it only works with Series 3, HD and HD XL.
If the Premiere is scheduled for later, I can wait. I think this is a great program so let me know when it will work with my Premiere.
Gary2000

Hello,

The current version will allow you to add a Premiere DVR manually, so it

will work with some quirks. I am working to get an update out asap that has

a number of improvements including additional Premiere support.

If you have further questions, feel free to email me at timhoeck@gmail.com

Thanks!

Tim – I want to send an “off” command to my Tivo series 3 at midnight (force daughter to go to bed) via a shell script if possible that I could put in CRON on a UNIX server. If you could share the command with me that would be awesome. dan@thestroots.com

Hi Dan,

The only “off” command would be “IRCODE STANDBY”, you can do this by simply

connecting via telnet to port 31339, and passing the command, followed by a

return. That is, of course, assuming your daughter doesn't know how to turn

off the Network Remote Control

Thanks,

Hi, Just wondering when you might be releasing an update to the Tivo Remote Android App that does automatic find of Premier box. I've tried manually entering the IP and name but still having trouble getting it to work. Have not tried the port address as yet but just curious.

thanks

Hi, I would also be willing to test this feature.

Hi, Tim. Do you know when this update will be available? I am currently running version 1.52 and cannot get the search function to work using the keyboard. Other than that, the program is awesome!

I got it working on my new Sony Ericson Xperia. It took awhile to find my tivo. One major problem was my son's IPod app I.TV, He got his app working before me and when it was running TivoRemote would not work at all? ???

Is the IPod app sending something all the time? It should work like the Tivo remote…and let each APP control the Tivo….or better yet…block out the IPod app!!!! Nice job

Hi Everyone,

I'm truly trying to get the update finished – lots to look forward to! There are a few crashing issues I have to sort out. I'm almost there, so hang in for a bit more!

That is a good question, I have never used the iPhone/iPod app, however, I am able to use multiple Android devices using my app without issues. If you can provide some more information, maybe I can take a look into it – does your device work if the iPod app is closed out?

Would you please consider adding support to use all the screen real estate on a Galaxy Tab, for example? Nice app. I was out traveling for a week and when I returned the Tivo Remote was lost. This saved my sanity.

Hello,

You can check out the Getting Started section for setup instructions:

http://timhoeck.com/tivoremote…

Let me know if you have any issues.

Thanks,

Tim

I have tried all of your troubleshooting, and the app still doesn’t recognize my Tivo HD XL. There is no contact form or way to get in touch with you.

Do you still support this app I seen on the android market place someone left a comment that this app has been abandoned let me know if it is so I could be confident in paying for it thanks

Are you not supporting this app anymore? I payed for it and would like better customer support. I have used this since last year, but with all the constant crashes it’s unusable now :/

Please tell me I can trust you will support Honeycomb like you said and better UI for normal phones.

I’m getting the message “This item cannot be installed in your device’s country.” even though I have a Motorola Droid on Verizon in the US. Any ideas on how I’d correct this?

The app is missing from the app store?  What happened?

I paid for your Tivo Remote and it is one of my favorite apps. Unfortunately it has turned up missing in the app store again. When should I do? my email is dgruetter at gmail.com

“What” should I do. Is there a place I can find it?

Tim,

It’s not a user issue – see if you can find it here:

https://market.android.com/search?q=tivo+remote&so=1&c=apps

It’s missing ….

Is this app no longer supported?  Doe not show up in the market.  What is the deal?

Can’t find in android market. Where should I be looking to buy it?

This is no longer showing in app market for me. Is it because I am using Gingerbread and this doesn’t work with Gingerbread?

I bought this app after I bought my Droid 1.  I upgraded to Droid Bionic, but it’s not in the Market!  Even the QR code provided elsewhere leads to nothing.  I want my app back!!  Where is it???

I purchased this app and have used it for at least a year now and when I went to install it after upgrading to gingerbread it’s no longer showing in the market. I love this app it’s just perfect for the task when are you going to put it back up?

Looking this as well. Paid app and where has it gone. Please help!

I had this app on my HTC Evo 4G and I really like it.  When the phone needed a hard reset, I can’t find the app in the Market to put it back on.  Help!

I bought this program a while back and it’s been working well. I had to restore factory settings on my phone, when I go to the market for tivoremote market tells me it isn’t available in my country (US).

Is this a problem with market, or has this been pulled from the US market?

had bought and installed on my htc slide 3g…. liked it, worked good.
broke my phone, replaced with identical phone and the app store won’t let me reinstall it becasue it is supposedly not compatable with my device.

What happened to this???? It disappeared from my phone and I cant find it on the market anymore….

I ordered, and paid for this TivoRemote app and it was working perfectly. However, I recently had to do a hard reset on my phone, and this app has disappeared. It is no longer in The Market, and I can’t get it back on my phone. If it;s lost forever, that would suck, since I already paid my money for it. I emailed the developer, hopefully he gets back to me.

T im… Any word? Where did this go? Loved it on a previous handset, but it is no longer on the market.

WTF?! I paid for this app and now it’s gone. Bring it back or refund my money.

Ashame the pricks had you remove this app. Was a great app.
