Hey there -- yes, I just tried it out. It was okay, though not the easiest to navigate. It would be nice if it had some way to guess movie titles, but I guess that's tough; it'd take some work on the library to whip it into shape. So it COULD work; one thing, tho', my laptop that I want to watch movies on runs Linux; the author of J River Media Center suggests using some special package to let you run it on Linux, but there's no Linux player for it, natively. I'll probably end up just sticking to using the fileserver(s) for now, and see how things develop over time. I don't want it SO badly that I'd try something that didn't work just as I'd like. Maybe I could write a simple one in Java. :-) - 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
