It looks like Leon and his crew have worked out most of the bugs in JavaHMO 2.0. I just received an email from him letting me know that he has released version 2.0! Instead of trying to reinvent the wheel, I am going to paste what he sent me…

This release represents a significant upgrade of JavaHMO, the media server
for the Home Media Option from TiVo. This version includes numerous new
kinds of content, significant performance improvements and increased
reliability.

This version is also major re-organization of the code and includes a new
plugin architecture.

All of the previous 1.2 content are available as plugins:
Desktop viewer, Games, Image viewer, Internet images, Movie listings, MP3
player, MP3 organizer, M3U and PLS playlist support, Shoutcast streams, and
Local Weather conditions.

In addition, 2.0 introduces numerous new plugins:
- Email: read your incoming email on the TiVo interface,
- Image organizer: similar to the audio organizer to allow you to categorize
your images by dates
- iTunes playlists (MP3 files only)
- Jukebox: every song you play in the other JavaHMO plugins will
automatically appear in the Jukebox playlist
- NNTP: download and view NNTP (News server) images automatically
- RSS: view RSS published content on the internet
- Web pages: view fullscreen versions of any web page
- Expanded weather: alerts for your county from the National Weather Service
will be part of the weather plugin
- Stocks: view the daily trading information of stocks

This release has been developed for JRE 1.4.2_06.

This version also includes a new Swing-based configuration GUI. The previous
HTML configuration GUI is no longer available.

The Windows installation wizard and complete source code is currently
available from the project web site on Sourceforge:
http://javahmo.sourceforge.net

The Linux and OS X distributions will be made available at a later stage.

The release notes for this version are available at:

Thanks to everybody who contributed to this release and who participated in
the beta testing.
