Welcome to the Chocolatey Community Package Repository! The packages found in this section of the site are provided, maintained, and moderated by the community.
Moderation
Every version of each package undergoes a rigorous moderation process before it goes live that typically includes:
- Security, consistency, and quality checking
- Installation testing
- Virus checking through VirusTotal
- Human moderators who give final review and sign off
More detail at Security and Moderation.
Organizational Use
If you are an organization using Chocolatey, we want your experience to be fully reliable. Due to the nature of this publicly offered repository, reliability cannot be guaranteed. Packages offered here are subject to distribution rights, which means they may need to reach out further to the internet to the official locations to download files at runtime.
Fortunately, distribution rights do not apply for internal use. With any edition of Chocolatey (including the free open source edition), you can host your own packages and cache or internalize existing community packages.

Edit Package
To edit the metadata for a package, please upload an updated version of the package.
Chocolatey's Community Package Repository currently does not allow updating package metadata on the website. This helps ensure that the package itself (and the source used to build the package) remains the one true source of package metadata.
This does require that you increment the package version.
This Package Contains an Exempted Check
1 Test Passing and 1 Exempted Test
Validation Testing Passed
Verification Testing Exempt:

NOTE: This applies to both open source and commercial editions of Chocolatey.
1. Ensure you are set for organizational deployment
Please see the organizational deployment guide
2. Get the package into your environment-
Open Source or Commercial:
- Proxy Repository - Create a proxy nuget repository on Nexus, Artifactory Pro, or a proxy Chocolatey repository on ProGet. Point your upstream to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2. Packages cache on first access automatically. Make sure your choco clients are using your proxy repository as a source and NOT the default community repository. See source command for more information.
- You can also just download the package and push it to a repository Download
-
Open Source
- Download the Package Download
- Follow manual internalization instructions
-
Package Internalizer (C4B)
- Run
choco download tivotogo-plex --internalize --source=https://chocolatey.org/api/v2
(additional options) - Run
choco push --source="'http://internal/odata/repo'"
for package and dependencies - Automate package internalization
- Run
3. Enter your internal repository url
(this should look similar to https://chocolatey.org/api/v2)
4. Choose your deployment method:
choco upgrade tivotogo-plex -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'" [other options]
See options you can pass to upgrade.
See best practices for scripting.
Add this to a PowerShell script or use a Batch script with tools and in places where you are calling directly to Chocolatey. If you are integrating, keep in mind enhanced exit codes.
If you do use a PowerShell script, use the following to ensure bad exit codes are shown as failures:
choco upgrade tivotogo-plex -y --source="'STEP 3 URL'"
$exitCode = $LASTEXITCODE
Write-Verbose "Exit code was $exitCode"
$validExitCodes = @(0, 1605, 1614, 1641, 3010)
if ($validExitCodes -contains $exitCode) {
Exit 0
}
Exit $exitCode

This package was approved by moderator gep13 on 07 Dec 2016.
This Plex plugin uses the TiVo To Go API to watch a stream off a TiVo or to download a recorded program from the TiVo. It requires a Series 2 or newer TiVo with an ethernet connection. The Plex Server needs to have a high speed connection between itself and the TiVo.
Q: What would I use this channel for?
A: You browse to a show on your TiVo and watch it without downloading it to the Plex Server.
Q: Can I download something from the TiVo it to the Plex Server using this channel?
A: Yes! If you enable the TiVoToGo service, and fill in a folder name, the channel will have extra entries to allow you to download the content.
NOTE: You should create a library on your Plex server which points to the same directory which you are downloading the file into. If you name the Plex library "TiVo To Go" it will automatically get refreshed when downloads are initiated and when they complete. If you decide to name the Plex library something different simply add that name in the TiVoToGo preferences.
Requires:
Linux, OSX or Windows Plex Server (No ARM Processor NAS support)
On Linux, OSX or X86 NAS requires curl be installed
To Do:
Use the urllib instead of curl
Stop using /tmp/cookies.txt
Use dynamic sockets and a fixed URL for the live stream video
If the community support for the MPEG-TS improves, add MPEG-TS support, for now it only works with MPEG-PS
Installation Instructions
Install curl if you don't already have it
Copy TiVoToGo.bundle to your plugin directory
Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins
Windows: C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Plex Media Server\Plug-ins
Linux: /var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-ins
Make sure to update the plugins settings
Enter your Media Access Key from the TiVo
Enter a IP address for the TiVo if the Plex Server is on a different subnet and then exit the channel and enter it again.
If you want enable the To Go offline download check the box and fill in a directory that is writable by the plex user.

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
