The tivo only supports mp3s. I should support very small pcm format files, but that support is broken.

Here's a link to information on how the pcm format should work:

And it's limit of 128kb

My experience comes from writing an sdk in C#. I can help you out more with a .NET based application, but I'll point you to a sample in the java samples that should help you.

Download the sdk and look in here:
\hme_sdk_1.4\samples\src\com\tivo\hme\samples\music

You may have to unzip some files along the way to get the src directory.

Here's the relevant snippet of code:


/**
* Play a url
*/
void playTrack(String url)
{
Resource resource = getResource();
// stop the current stream
if (resource != null) {
resource.remove();
}
// start the new one
setResource(createStream(url, null, true));
}
