Hi all, This isn't really to do with freevo, but related.... :)
I have most of my media on a central file server (linux + samba), so all my DVD's, Photos and Music are all shared from a big central disk. I also share out the local tv recording directory from my freevo box via samba. My freevo system uses DVB-T and just dumps MPEG-TS streams straight to disk, and then I play them back with xine or mplayer either on the TV, or on my PC over the network. I am looking at the idea of one of these "media players" that are now available that allow you to play video and music over the network with a small solid state (no fans) device. There are several of these, but I am looking at either the Freecom MediaPlayer 350, or the Xyxel DMA-1000 as they are both sensibly priced. I will be using a wire ethernet connection, and want something "future proof" that will play h.264 HD content once I start recording that, and will also play my DVD iso images, mp3's and browse my photos (all jpeg). The aim being to set this up in the bedroom with a small LCD screen. Does anyone on the list have any experience with the 2 devices I have mentioned, how well they work etc? I have read some stuff on the web that that the MediaPlayer 350 100% reliable TS support, which is essential for me as all my TV is just a TS dump from DVB, but I have not found anything concrete on either of them to do with TS files recorded from DVB (especially in the UK).
