MY turn to ask a question :D

Using JavaHMO or tivodesktop? If tivodesktop, what version?

tivodesktop
1.91 on the mac and I've tried 2.5 on windows
I'm in process of downloading Java HMO to test it out

jhmo works
hmmm

Newer versions of tivodesktop don't like directivos. Here's a copy of ver 2.1 for windoze. Works fine for me. Don't have a mac so I don't bout all that.

here's some weirdness JHMO works on my laptop (windows) but not the Mac.
I suspect something's gone wonky on the Mac

I had similar problems with a Tivo Series2 SA. Tivo could see the PC desktop and could even download from the PC to Tivo. Rebooted the Tivo and the problem disappeared.

I got JHMO working on the mac.

How did you get it working? What Mac model and OSX version are you using? I've tried getting JavaHMO working on my Macs in the past - without success.

Java is a finicky beast. There are three distinct versions widely in use - 1.4, 1.5, and 1.6 (also referred to as Java 4, 5 and 6). They are not 100% compatible.

I once had the joy of dealing with some java applet based remote admin systems for servers. One brand required 1.4, and would not work with 1.5. Another brand worked with 1.5, and not with 1.4. I had to use two different systems to access them.

I have a similar problem with 1.6. Some backup software I manage does not work at all with 1.6 - yet their updater is very insistent on updating to it...
