  "github_readme_excerpt": "**cTiVo** is a free Mac application to download shows from your TiVo and convert them to many popular formats and devices. Its goal is to be extremely simple to set up and use, taking full advantage of MacOS, but very flexible.\n\ncTiVo provides complete hands-off operation: once you choose or subscribe to your shows, everything else is automated. For example, after you\u0027ve set it up, every morning, you will find all your favorite shows from your TiVos loaded onto your iPhone or iPad. And although using cTiVo is very easy, you also have complete control over what it does.\n\nThe [current release is here](https://github.com/mackworth/cTiVo/releases/).\nPlease let us know of any problems or suggestions at [Issues](https://github.com/mackworth/cTiVo/issues).\n\nIf your cTiVo has suddenly lost RPC functions (like Remote Control, Play/Delete, SkipMode) after May 5, 2024, then you [need an updated TiVo certificate.](#updating-tivo-certificate)\n\n## Automatic Download and Conversions\n* Auto-discovery of all your TiVos (using Bonjour).\n* Drag/drop and contextual menus for ease of use; submit, reschedule, delete all by dragging the shows.\n* Download queue for batch processing, restored on restart.\n* \u0027Subscriptions\u0027 to your regular shows: automatically downloading shows whenever new episodes are available.\n* Even subscribe to \"ALL\" shows, including suggestions or not.\n* Removes commercials from downloaded shows, or just mark for quick skip in player.\n* Uses TiVo\u0027s SkipMode when available, or analyzes content to locate commercials.\n* Extracts closed caption info (adjusted for removal of commercials); adds to MPEG and creates subtitle files.\n* Adds artwork to downloaded shows from TiVo or theTVDB and theMovieDB (as available).\n* Copies shows to TV/iTunes with all data about the show (metadata) transferred as well.\n* Generates metadata appropriate for use by tools such as pyTivo and Plex.\n* Performs a sync for your device when the download is completed.\n* Maximum parallel processing, inc",
