Hi everybody, looking for something similar, I would need multiroom
system for playing FullHD h264 movies from one fileserver on multiple
LCD Tv's in our offices. Actually the same as squeezebox, just for video
(which I will use for music - thought about Sonos, but like Squeezebox
so much more).
I use the Netgear EVA8000.
It streams video (and audio and pictures if you want) from a Samba
shared drive (I run Linux).
It's cheap and just works...
They also have some other products in this category -

just for clarity- Boxee is based on the XMBC model. I believe the Boxee
folks used it as a starting point for their project. Also it's menus are
customizable and Boxee also integrates well with the iphone/itouch for
remote control purposes.
I now sound like a Boxee salesperson but I can't say
Did you explore J. River Media Center? I don't use it for this, so I
can't provide specifics, but I'm pretty sure it can do what you want.
It's very customizable. I know it can play ripped DVD directories - so
you would not need to convert to ISOs, though it can play those too. It
acts as both a

in order to watch online video streams you would of course need to be
logged into your boxee account within the program but it also has the
option of working in the program in offline mode.
Boxee is a fantastic program that is just about to go to beta stage.

Rather to my suprise, my son managed to get windows media centre to
stream SD video wirelessly to a PS3. WMC manages the library, PS3
hardware outputs HDMI and optical audio. No funny drivers or setup, it
just worked.

We have Tivos on each TV in the house. I run a little app called pyTivo
on the linux server which serves up any videos I have there to the Tivos
with transcoding as needed. Very simple, and works very well.

Hi all...
So I'm setting up things so I can stream videos around my house
wirelessly. I am using SqueezeServer (or whatever it's name is now) for
music, but I'm wondering what you all know out there for something very
similar that can stream video (HD and SD), as well as scan/maintain a
