.TIVO files could stream to my PC, my WII, my Blackberry Curve 8330, my Ubuntu Linux system, and to my HTC Touch Pro smartphone BEFORE I upgraded from 2.01.0049 to 2.5+ on Wednesday. Now the .TIVO files can't stream to any device listed. PC and Ubuntu (using VLC) shows a bunch of messed up video and no audio. Wii shows a frozen screen or two and just hangs. Blackberry shows a scrambled frozen video frame and gives an error. Something broke with the new version.

Is there a fix or workaround?

I mean, I can use Tivo Desktop to convert for a media player to .mp4 format, and it streams those just fine. But I want to stream the other .TIVO files that I could stream before.

I installed KLite_Codec using default options. Same or similar issues continue.

Results:
- Blackberry Curve 8330: Brings up media player, but shows scrambled, frozen screen - "An error has occurred attempting to play media." or "The media being played is of an unsupported format."

- Ubuntu w/VLC: Scrambled video plays, no audio.

- Windows XP/WMP: "Windows media player cannot play the file because a network error occurred."

- WIndows XP/VLC: Scrambled video plays, no audio.

- HTC Touch Pro: Times out


Files that are not .TIVO stream properly.

.TIVO files streamed properly before 2.5+ upgrade.

Thanks for the detailed information.

Could you please share few of your .tivo files so we can diagnose this issue?

You can share few .tivo samples on your public page or upload to some free servers and share (or PM me) the URL.
