JavaHMO

Installation

Hardware Requirements:
At least 256MB of RAM is recommended.

Windows:

If you wish to use the TiVo Desktop software or want to run multiple HMO servers on the same PC, then run TiVoDesktop1-3.exe.

Run javaHMO-2.0.exe which will launch the JavaHMO installation wizard. Follow the instructions in the wizard and accept the default settings. If you do not have the JRE and JAI packages installed on your system, the installation wizard will attempt to install those. The installation wizard will install JavaHMO in "C:\Program Files\JavaHMO" by default. The wizard will also install JavaHMO as a service.

Use the JavaHMO/Configure menu on your Start menu to run the JavaHMO configuration GUI.

Other:

Extract the javahmo-2.0.zip file and use the binaries for your OS at the Java Service Wrapper project.

The Java bin directory must be in you system PATH.

Build the binaries using the "Ant package" command or edit the conf/wrapper.conf for your installation.

Place all of the JAR files in the lib directory in your classpath.

Start the JavaHMO server with the following command:

java -Xms64m -Xmx64m -XX:NewSize=32m -XX:MaxNewSize=32m -XX:PermSize=10m -XX:MaxPermSize=20m -Djava.awt.fonts=/jre/lib/fonts -Dawt.toolkit=com.eteks.awt.PJAToolkit org.lnicholls.javahmo.server.Server

Replace the fonts parameter with the directory of your JRE installation.

Start the JavaHMO GUI with the following command:

java -Droot=/usr/share/javaHMO -Dconf=/etc/javaHMO -Dcache=/tmp/javaHMO.cache -Dlogfile=/var/log/javaHMO.log org.lnicholls.javahmo.gui.JavaHMO

For those with a headless system can use the following example configuration file.

Disclaimer:
These files are works in progress. There may be problems and you should use the usual caution when downloading executable binaries (applications) from the Internet: Back up your files before downloading and installing. Run a virus scanner. Should you choose to download and install this (and any other) software, you are proceeding at your own risk.
