In case you haven’t noticed, this site has been somewhat dead as of late. Well, I’ve got a good excuse. My wife and I just had a baby boy! Needless to say, blogging about TiVo has been put on the back burner for the time being. That being said, I wanted to let everybody know that Leon has released beta 1 of Galleon. Here’s an email that I received from him.

I’ve just released the first beta of the Galleon media server for TiVo:
http://galleon.sourceforge.net

Galleon is the next-generation version of JavaHMO and is based on TiVo’s HME
technology.

This beta includes a HME application to control your ToGo downloads directly
from your TiVo.

None of the JavaHMO plugins have been ported yet; they will become part of
Galleon over the next betas.

This version does not have an installation wizard and only Windows scripts
are currently included. Read the release notes for instructions on how to
run Galleon:
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?group_id=126291&release_id=307039
This version is being released to get feedback on the significant design
improvements and future planned features. Galleon has been redesigned from
the ground up to overcome the scaling and performance issues of JavaHMO.

As you can imagine, I probably wont’ have a chane to try it out in the near future. Let me know if you get a chance to try it and what you think.
