mReplay is a native Mac OS X client for ReplayTV and Showstopper DVRs (Digital Video Recorders).
mReplay discovers replays on the local network using Universal Plug and Play.

Here are some key features of "mReplay":
This is pre-release software. Try it anyway, and let me know how the guide parser and GUI work for you.
Discovers Replays on the local network using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Allows the user to connect to replays on remote networks (be sure port 80 is open and/or mapped through your firewall, or use a VPN).
Displays all shows available on all Replays it can see, as well as shows on particular units.
Allows sorting of guide information.
Manages photos. To upload a photo, select a directory in the photo browser, then drag and drop the photo onto the display area. To delete a photo, select its name and press delete. If you want access to the downloaded photo files, the photo cache is in ~/.rtvmanager, and is never emptied.
Displays information about each Replay.

Limitations:
It does not yet play streaming video.
There may be bugs in the guide parser.
It does not display guide snapshots from DVArchive.
The photo cache, which is in ~/.rtvmanager, is never emptied.

What's New:
Displays previews (thumbnails) of the video as it downloads. In the activity window (apple-D), select an MPEG that's downloading and click the "preview" button. A drawer will slide out, showing video frames every few seconds.
Fixed massive memory leak.
