SMHarman Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Where has this got to?2 years in development?http://blog.tivo.com/2014/01/tivo-partners-with-control4/TIVO PARTNERS WITH CONTROL4By Editor Posted January 8, 2014 In Uncategorized 0 0TiVo and Control4 are partnering up to bring you more of what you want on a quicker, smoother, and easier new interface! Today, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, the companies announced open API to automation partners for TiVo® DVRs and DevicesInitially, TiVo users will have access to Now Playing information and TiVo Peanut remote functionality with further integration of TiVo features and services* coming soon. TiVo will soon be offering the following features through Control4 interfaces:Info (Show): Call up information about a show in seconds and see all relevant details at a glance in Info. From here, you can order a Season Pass recording, explore the cast and crew, and see which online partners deliver the show.My Shows: Check in on what you’ve got waiting in your own personal entertainment lineup in My Shows. Not only can you sort by date and title, you can monitor your available recording capacity with the disk space meter.What to Watch (coming later): What to Watch allows you to browse TV shows and movies that are on TV right now in a variety of categories including Popular TV, Sports (powered by Thuuz), Movies and Kids programming.Remote: Take total control of your entertainment with your choice of two great TiVo remote control options: a full-scale replica of a classic TiVo remote or an intuitive, gesture-based remote control.Bottom line: This partnership will leverage Control4’s Simple Device Discovery Protocol (SDDP) software to make integrating a new TiVo into the home much easier for custom integrators. With SDDP, the Control4 home automation system automatically finds and adds supported devices to the platform, radically reducing the time to install and program a Control4 automation system, of any size. *excluding TiVo streaming technology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMHarman Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Those have been out since early this year and 2nd quarter 2004 depending on model.So I need an updated driver here?What is the name of this one vs the one way IP one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
howieumd Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 I think I have the most up to date TiVo driver, the TiVo Roamio / Model 3+ network one in Composer, last modified 6/10/15. I have the Roamio Pro and a bunch of mini's. The release notes above mention there'd "initially be Now Playing and Peanut Remote functionality". The driver I have doesn't have that, as far as I know. It's just one way IP communication. Is there a better driver I'm missing, or did this all never come to fruition? The whole "initially" part of that release notes has always caught me off guard, as to me that'd mean it would have been available when that post came out, or very soon after. It's been about 2 years now. There'd obviously have to be a 2 way IP driver, which I would think is doable since TiVo shares their API, so if Control4 never ended up doing this, maybe somebody eventually will? I would envision it'd work similar to how Chowmain's KODI driver works, meaning it communicates 2 way and on our Control4 interface we can see a live guide of some sort, similar to how his movies or add-ons mirror live info.

RyanE Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Unfortunately, for the time being, this is fairly dead in the water. I can't go into details as to why, but for now, the one-way IP driver (TiVo Roamio / Model 3+) should work well for all 'current' TiVo models, although without the 'advanced' features that were anticipated back when the announcements were written. Sorry. RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cable card standard saved TivoSent from my STV100-1 using Tapatalk Not only that, this part of the country the local cable provider offers a similar (near to identical) option to TiVo that is cheaper - so why would someone go that round even if it would work? TiVo is actually offered direct by one cable provider on the other side of the country so it has some presence there. Beyond that - TiVo is a tinkerer's device up here.

turls Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Unfortunately, for the time being, this is fairly dead in the water. Sad how Tivo partnerships with DirecTV and Control4 haven't produced much. I would love to go back to a Tivo, although DirecTV DVRs have replaced them better than I ever thought they would when I was forced over to them.

digitaltrader Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I recently switched to TiVo because I previously read this 2-way driver was available. I just assumed it was ready. Another C4 disappointment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanE Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The latest driver lets you map your choice of keys to several keys, including the color keys, and among the options are the A/B/C/D. It's fairly flexible in that way. RyanE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
