Just in case somebody else want to make one of these breast work.
Using movie players, Kaffeine and VLC they work, but it seems like
every movie has to be adjusted to fully fit the 37" lcd screen. More
works is needed on that.
Now to get voice controls working, I'll never have to leave my chair again!
Thanks to all for suggestions.
