Time for me to chime in. I finally got my LinkPlayer on the network (bad network HUB was the problem). Wow... I love the thing. It's interface can be a bit clunky at times, but where it really counts, it shines, and that's playback of High Definition content over the network. As an option to over the network, you can encode an hour or two of HDTV to MPEG-4 and fit it easily on a DVD and drop it into the player for direct play... (who wants to wait for HD-DVD standards to sort themselves out now that I've got a DVD player that can already do it ;) The 'corporate' version of the LinkServer is actually quite functional, as is the wizd server. The wizd server is far more flexible in terms of configuration options, but the interface isn't quite as nice. Overall, I'd have to say that my MythTV frontend is now in jeopardy of being replaced. I had originally intended to drop the LinkPlayer upstairs in the bedroom as a second frontend, but the WAF factor is so high that I am probably going to make this my defacto front end. The only really bad problem I have (so far, until somebody writes a new interface) is that I cannot get program guide data, and schedule recordings from the LinkPlayer. -- John Sturgeon <>< http://www.sturgeonfamily.com/mythtv.php _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
