CC3260MT.DLL Is TiVo

by | Jan 17, 2011 | Software

I was trying to launch a Tomcat instance in Eclipse and it complained that port 8080 was in use. This scared me, since to my knowledge nothing else used that port. Was it spyware? I visited http://localhost:8080 and saw:

Access violation at address 32658D8F in module 'CC3260MT.DLL'. Read of address 00000000

No, it’s not spyware, it’s TiVo. Specifically the TiVo desktop server (Bonjour, I believe it’s called.). Pulling up the interface and pausing the server frees up the port. Shame on TiVo for using a very popular port for developers, but I guess we can change the port in Eclipse/Tomcat/Jetty if we need to. Now back to work…
