I’m rather excited about the next release of JavaHMO. To my knowledge no release date has been set yet however, there appears to be some significant changes for the next version. According to the release notes, version 2.0 will utilize a new plugin architecture with the following plugins:
- Gallery
- Image organizer
- iTunes
- Jukebox
- NNTP
- RSS
- Web pages
- Expanded weather
Being the big geek that I am, I recently decided to try and build JavaHMO from the latest source distribution. I’ve successfully built everything however; I am having some problems with actually running the server. I’ll probably try and work on this a little more.
Out of all the new features that are expected to be released, I’m extremely excited about being able to view RSS feeds from my TiVo. Just imaging viewing the TiVoBlog.com RSS feed on your TiVo! How much more pathetic can I get? No seriously, JavaHMO 2.0 looks as though it is going to have some great new features. When these new features are released, TiVo HMO will truly become a home entertainment system. Stay tuned for more information on the status of JavaHMO or check out the official JavaHMO news page.
Somebody over at sourceforge.net decided to ask when JavaHMO 2.0 is coming out. Check out the discussion forum for up to the minute information.
