How do I transfer shows from Mac to Tivo Roamio

I've downloaded and installed pyTiVo; cTiVo-2; kmttg; streambaby; ffmpeg 2.5 and I have no idea how to use these programs.



I've read and re-read the instructions and the configuration setup instructions for all these programs and it is still not clear to me at all how to start a transfer in either direction.



I've read and searched this forum for help and read dozens of posts. It seems that I'm the only one who has no idea how to start a transfer.



I have no trouble with the installations. My TiVo programs populate the cTivo and pyTivo windows but then what? Are there no user friendly instructions available?



I thought I was computer savvy until I hit this wall.

Thanks for any suggestions.
