The Tivo Media Server

Tivo Media Server

Your version of SuperSync includes a Tivo Media Server option.

If you do not have a Tivo, you can ignore this feature and leave the server off.

The Tivo media server lets you access your MP3 files that are listed in your local SuperSync library and listen to them from a network-enabled Tivo.

Requirements

Configuration

To enable the server, check the "Enable Tivo Media Server."
