Tivo Releases Home Media Engine SDK
I just noticed that Jeremy Zawodny linked to the TiVo Home Media Engine SDK. This is great news for me, I’ve been dying to place Caller ID information some place easily accessible without adding yet another machine/gizmo to the collection of electronics that is the home entertainment system. I cant wait to have a quick view of all incoming/outgoing calls and voicemail notification on the tivo. I imagine I’ll pull this information from my asterisk machine with out too much effort and just have to figure out the Tivo display elements. Its a shame that it doesn’t allow you to inject any information in a video overlay like FreeVo . It’d be nice to have the tivo automatically say, “Mom [123.123.1234] is calling, Pause?”.
It is also very interesting that you can also stream mp3s to the TiVo DVR for playback. I think this will delay my purchase of a Roku Soundbridge.
I imagine that my girlfriend won’t like me messing around with her tivo, perhaps its time to buy my own?
