awesome, now i can stream from the tivo to xbmc using d7o's ccxstream. it's playing really nicely too, i used to get dropped frames when streaming from tivo to xbmp.
thanks frodo!

great, .ty files do now work for me too!
they play from a local share no problems, fairly smoothly too. sometimes the audio gets off a bit, but a skip forward and back once or twice seems to get it back in sync.
i can also stream from my tivo directly, but only the first time i access it. so for example, on my xbox i go in to the xbms share for my tivo, i can see shows in now playing and play and number of them. if i exit the now showing on xbmc i cannot get back in until i reboot the tivo. rebooting the xbox has no effect. i can play .ty files from xbmp over and over rebooting the xbox or moving in and out of the xbms share and it doesn't affect my tivo at all. my guess is that xbmc will read from ccxstream on the tivo, but then it crashes the ccxstream process, or leaves it in some state that it cannot be accessed until restarted. i will look further in to my version of ccxstream (perhaps it is old) and also see if indeed it stops the ccxstream process or if it locks it up and report back.
one little bug about playback. i have tried turning the deinterlace filter on and off and the result is the same with either settings. it appears that the deinterlace filter is bypassed with .ty files right now.
lastly one thing that would be a great addition to .ty playback support. all .ty files are interlaced. they break up badly when there is much motion. i could be wrong, but i think everyone would prefer to view .ty files deinterlaced since they don't look right otherwise. i think it would be a great addition to have xbmc deinterlace all .ty files by default regardless of the option in the video settings area. that way people who play .ty files would not need to go back and change the setting everytime they played a .ty file and turn it back off when playing a regular noninterlaced file.

ok it appears that ccxstream on the tivo generates and error and then exits. simply restarting ccxstream on the tivo gets it working in xbmc again. the last few lines on the tivo in ccxstream before it exits are here:
listing files
doing dir on''
rootdir: /
listing files
file info: /livetv /livetv
listing files
file info: /nowshowing /nowshowing
listing files
0 is not an object
and that is where ccxstream exits. the version of ccxstream on my tivo appears to be the current version 1.0.15.
