Post by: archived on February 16, 2006, 02:37:08 pm
Has anybody use AmiNET124 (http://aminocom.com/products/ipstb/aminet124.html) as Media Director? Or maybe somebody can give me a good point to do that?

Thank in advanced.

Hi,

to have full blown MD on that device is probably huge task. But I remember that some amino settobboxes were sucessfuly used with VLC as streamer....

HTH,

Actually, I don't need in the each room a full featured MD. It's too expensive. That's why I think about some light settopbox which can only play video from the server where is installed and works VDR, for example.

Probably I was wrong when I tried to use Amino STB as media director. The better way is to have one hybrid core and use Amine124 as child device. But in this case a new problem appears - howto control STB via Plutohome?

If I remember right on older amino 103 settopboxes - they had some kind of web browser and you basically browsed web pages, clicks brought you to streaming media from some server. I remember that some guys reported VLC as server for those amino set top boxes...

I also read about it :) But my target is to use VDR as stream server and Aminet124 as STB inside Plutohome system. I chose Amine124 because it support MPEG4 which more convenient then MPEG1/2.
I found another interesting project - VOMP (VDR on MVP: http://www.loggytronic.com/vomp.php). It seems very good but it's again MPEG1/2 oriented.
