SOLVED: pyTivoX photos app not working

The pyTivoX photo app has never worked for me. Even after installing PIL (python imaging library) and libjpeg, I still get the 'broken icon' on the TV for all photos. I think the problem is that the PIL bundled with pyTivoX (/Applications/pyTivoX.app/Contents/Resources/PIL) overrides my 'site-packages' copy of PIL and it doesn't know how to find libjpeg on my system. I fixed the problem by renaming pyTivoX.app/..../PIL to _PIL. It works now

Install PIL easily with homebrew:

%brew install PIL

which should also take care of the libjpeg dependency. (you can verify you have libjpeg by executing the 'cjpeg' command.
