TiVoBridge is a packet repeater for both the TiVo discovery beacon and (if enabled) Multicast DNS protocols. It is intended as a way for TiVo boxes and other devices or programs that use either of those (normally single-subnet) protocols to see each other across routers in a complex local network.
When the daemon starts, it opens a raw socket for forwarding, as well as listener sockets for both protocols that it works with. A configuration file is used to direct packet forwarding operations for both protocols, which may be tailored to fit nearly any network configuration.
Installation
Read the INSTALL file for generalized installation instructions.
Multicast DNS
Multicast DNS forwarding is an optional feature of this program, and is not enabled by default. To enable this protocol, use the --enable-mdns option when running the configure script.
Example Configuration
An example network configuration, along with match TiVoBridge configuration files, is contained in the file doc/conf-example.txt.
