Grab the update from TiVo or Versiontracker.
Here’s the blurb direct from TiVo:
This update contains: a revised preferences mechanism, support for photo album heirarchies, a new plug-in API, and minor bug fixes.
I installed the TiVo Desktop 1.9 update on my Mac and I was happy to notice that the background process that runs when TiVo Desktop is on is much more efficient. With 1.8, cpu usage was 3-7% all of the time, even when I wasn’t playing music or looking at photos on TiVo. With 1.9, the cpu usage is 0.0% with occasional spikes to 0.9% — much improved.
Also of interest was some of the information displayed by the installer. Here’s a snippet:
Changes since version 1.8 * TiVoDesktop can now work with applications other than iPhoto to share photos. * Enhances performance and stability.
I wonder what applications other than iPhoto they have in mind?
Unfortunately, this update does not support TiVo To Go or the playback of AAC files in Music & Photos. For Mac users, waiting is.
