Hello, I've seen your post on Freevo mailing list. I'm thinking about the same by myself but have slightly different view. I'm also happy user of Misterhouse (www.misterhouse.com) open source integrated home automation system that is already greatly extended toward being also multimedia, info and data server for home environment. So in my view I'll try to use Misterhouse as backend for recording, retriveing data, maybe data base connection, and all other home automation stuff. I thought of Freevo like being frontend connected over TCP port to Misterhouse (latter already has "proxy" concept implemented - that means connection of one main Misterhouse and other lighter clients...).
For media streaming I think that vls/vlc combination is best at the moment for this kind of job (www.videolan.org) cause in this way you can stream files, web cameras and even TV through LAN to clients. In this scenario Freevo could use vlc (it's also very popular) as player that can play local files, DVDs or streamed files over LAN (that can be webcam, live TV, DVDs or stored files on server...). I somewhere read that with some patches also mplayer can play streamed video from Videolan programms. Christophe is porting Freevo to win32 has already made vlc plugin (some time ago there was also some linux code for this) so transfer could not be too hard. I don't know much about your work, how far are you, but maybe taking advantage of some already available open solutions wouldn't be bad. I hope this helps a little bit and I'm loooking forward to discuss on that.
