And _not_ restricting the functionality to a specific control device, like the menus of a MediaCenter, one of the others.

The capabilities, the internal infrastructure to do this will be 'just there' after the current rewrite. Another question is how that switch will be initiated. If I recall right LinuxMCE/PLuto uses some bluetooth triangulation? I myself made some experiments with RFID tags. On the Philips UPnP devices (Streamium) you need to press a button on one MediaRenderer and have the chance to pickup the media stream on some other renderer within 60 seconds or something like that. But from Elisas perspective it is only the question of reacting to something that triggers this. Regards, Frank
