I save lots of TIVO video files on one of my network computers and would love for Serviio to have the ability to stream them. Is there any plan to make it possible for Serviio to stream TIVO video files???

here is how to run ffmpeg: viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1123

I suspect the file will be encrypted anyway, so not playable by anything else.

This software converts a .TiVo file (produced by the TiVoToGo functionality on recent TiVo software releases) to a normal MPEG file.
