Well, all I really want is something like this - a media server in a single location that has access to all my video sources (in my case, ALL I care about are locally and remotely mounted drives, either via NFS or Samba), the ability to index said content and let me modify the database in case a given fileset/DVD on hard drive/etc. is unidentifiable, and a *thick* client I can run on Linux or Windows to watch and control the viewing. I don't want an applet or Flex app that runs in a browser and has lots of lag - I want a full-blown media player, but communicating with a central server. Does boxee do that? I'll check it out anyway. :-) - Tim -- tbessie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ tbessie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=8521 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71448 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
