Can I access MP3s and JPGs on my NAS w/Tivo? I have a Buffalo LinkStation with Twonkivision installed and i was wondering if there is any media server that would allow me to get Mp3s and JPs on my tivo. TIA

Can you install applications on the NAS? Java? Perhaps Galleon would work?

If you use the TiVo Desktop software some systems will work using a network drive, others will not. Have a look at http://www.tivocommunity.com/tivo-vb/showthread.php?t=300764 for more info about this.

Galleon seems to work fine regardless of hardware.

Galleon (http://www.galleon.tv) is probably your best bet, if you can install it on the Linkstation. I've hacked my own Linkstation with OpenLink but have yet to try and run Galleon directly on it. Instead, Galleon runs on my Linux server which has mapped shares to the NAS containing the music and photos.

Or, like mentioned above, just run TiVo Desktop on a Windows PC which has access to the shares on your NAS. You'll pay a performance penalty for the extra hop, but it will still work.
