Plex is a popular device for storing, sorting and sharing video, photo and audio content across mobile devices. No matter what your interests are, you’ll be able to find something great to watch. However, the issue is that a lot of users met trouble while streaming TiVo videos to Plex. This article will discuss how to transfer TiVo videos to Plex without issue. Which way can help you upload TiVo videos to Plex Media Sever for streaming to Roku, Xbox 360, PS3, Android/iOS devices?

Hot Search: Blu-rays to Plex | DVD to Plex | iTunes to Xbox via Plex | Yify Videos to Plex | Best Video Settings for Plex

As a matter of fact, all these issues are caused by the file format compatibility. As far as I know, Plex can’t handle TiVo format. TiVo is an encrypted video format, that’s why few media players can play it well and some freeware can’t handle it. Native video support is typically (but not always) limited to the MP4 container, H.264 video encoding, and AAC audio. To get the work done, I found more than one people recommend Pavtube Video Converter Ultimate to encode TiVo to Plex. Here is review.

Overall, this video app is professional on fast transcoding TiVo to Plex Media Server with MP4 format without quality loss. In addition, it not only supports TiVo videos, but also handles various common video formats, like MKV, MXF, MTS, MOV, MP4, AVI, WMV .etc. Plus, with the built-in video editor, you can also choose to trim, crop, add watermark to your original videos. Here our task is to encode TiVo to MP4 for Plex Media Server. The process is much simple. For Mac users, iMedia Converter for Mac is also a helpful app to encode TiVo to Plex on Mac OS X (including El Capitan) for further usage. Follow below guide to start TiVo movie to Plex conversion on Windows 10.

Note: The output format is preferably in a common format, like MP3 for audio, MPEG-4 for video. The more common format you use, the more devices you can stream to. For example, if you use FLAC instead of MP3 for your music, you can’t stream to your Xbox 360. Just keep in mind that not all devices support all formats of media.

Step 3. Edit TiVo Videos (Optional)

Simply click Settings bar and you can tweak the settings to your satisfaction. With the right settings you can retain the quality of the original videos while also saving space. This is particularly helpful when streaming over your network, depending on your network quality.

Connect TiVo to your home network, and then the TiVo Desktop will provide you with a list of shows for transferring to your PC. Then please transfer the TiVo TV shows you want to PC. Once all the shows you selected have been downloaded from your TiVo, they will appear in the Now Playing list in TiVo Desktop.

Solved – Newbie Question about 1:1 MKV Blu-ray rips, Plex and Subtitles

Leave a comment

For Blu-ray fans, if you have collected lots of Blu-rays with high definition, it is a good idea to backup Blu-ray to Plex for streaming on portable devices during the trip. Although Plex itself can’t play Blu-ray natively for Blu-ray encryption, there are many ways to rip Blu-ray to Plex supported formats. This guide will help a newbie solved play the MKV files onto Plex but don’t lose any V/A quality as well as the subtitles, switchable audio tracks. Hold on reading…

Q:“I’m currently in the process of making plans to embrace Plex and moving all my video content to a media server. This task will require my ripping over 500 Blu-rays and I’m rather keen to do straight 1:1 MKV rips of my library to avoid any loss in quality (I’m quite aware what this will cost me in storage). Where I am a little confused right now is with the issue of Plex and subtitles. I own quite a substantial number of foreign films, and no doubt a number of English language films that may be interspersed with some foreign subtitled scenes.

My question is, does Plex insist on transcoding whenever there are subtitles, regardless of whether the stream is a direct feed into a PHT Client running on a capable computer (a mac Mini or NUC into the TV/Home Theatre for example)? This seems to be the impression I am getting, in which case it rather renders my having a Plex library of 1:1 rips pointless, but I just want to get some clarification. I understand Plex transcoding from the perspective of streaming to other devices around my home like an iPad, but my intention is to keep the feed going to my TV/Home Theatre free of such things. ” – This is a newbie asked from Plex Forum.

Then copy the whole “PS4” folder into the USB storage. Next, touch the power button for at least 7 secs and wait for the complete shut-down. Connect the USB storage device. Long-touch the power button again until the PS4 starts, then follow the instructions to update.

After installing the update, go to “Settings” -> “System Software Update” under function screen to make sure the update (version 3.11) has been successfully installed. After that, users will be able to play Blu-ray or DVD discs on PS4, transfer PS4 games to PS Vita via Remote Play, use the featured sharing system as well as other functions, which are however unavailable under the default system.
