I suppose another way of looking at it is that I want to create my own HBO channel of stuff I like (since I don't have stuff I don't like in my library).  If I had enough boxes I wouldn't mind having 3 or 4 of those channels, perhaps of different genres.  Like I said, I'll get it built and loaded and will play with it before I post anymore questions.   These forums are a great resource, I appreciate it.

I'm still waiting on the parts from newegg to build my linux box.  Once I get everything built and installed I'll try that.  I know I can't do it with Vista MCE which I have (please don't stone me ;)

Many times the wife and I are watching TV live, and we like to pause the DVR and let the show "queue up" so we can skip past commercials.  By having my movie collection cycling through, I can watch 20 minutes of a movie that may be playing and then go back to my regular show.

Its not to say that I wouldn't ever want to select a specific movie, but I have 300 movies on 4TB.  I would rarely ever pull "the Outlaw Josey Wales" to watch, but if it is already on, I'd probably watch it, as I did this weekend when it was on TNT.    I realize it sounds lame to some, but that is what I was curious if I can do with LMCE.

Thanks.
Jeff

I think you missed my original point/purpose, but okay, I'll check elsewhere.  Thanks for your help.

As I tried to explain above, I want to simply create a movie channel that I will use an RF modulator to give it a specific channel on my house cable.  I would just be using the LMCE as a player only.

Do you ever find a movie on TV that you already have the DVD of and you watch the movie commercials and all, when you could have just put in the DVD and watch without the commercials?  Well, I'm one of those fools.

I was wondering if it would be possible to configure LMCE to play one movie after another constantly (like a jukebox).  I could get an RF modulator to put it on as a channel on my cable so if nothing else is on, I can flip over to see what DVD of mine is playing.

With hardware getting less expensive, I could make several boxes (hopefully miniITX) that are queueing all the movies up, so I would have several channels of streaming movies, with each box pulling from a shared network drive of all of my DVD's I have backed up.

Thanks.
Jeff
