TiVo's advertising this new "Home Media Option," which, with the adition of a broadband adapter (ethernet or 802.11b), allows one's TiVo to play MP3 music and display digital photos which get grabbed off of another PC on your LAN.
Unfortunately, it looks like the software you use to make the files available is only available for Windows and Macintosh. I e-mailed TiVo tech support and got what seemed to be a robotic answer saying that there's no Linux version available, and there is currently no plans. They didn't answer the second part of my question, so I asked it again (and got a "Sorry, I don't know the answer to that" response)... is the TiVo using any _known_ protocols to get these files? (SMB, NFS?) In other words, even if one DOESN'T have the "Home Media" software for their desktop (e.g., they're running Linux, BeOS... something OTHER than Win/Mac), is it possible to USE the "Home Media Option" on the TiVo itself, by setting up standard file shares? Anyone know? (Ryan? ;) ) -bill! -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Got kids?
