Is the video to big for youtube et al?

Sounds interesting.

20-30MDs with standard def video means quite a bit of bandwidth needed. Would each MD need a dedicated stream, or all of the MDs going to watch the same stuff?

What can be done is, to recycle the other areas as well, i.e. not only Lighting, but Media, Climate etc as well.

Not as nice, but works easily.

You should not change the workgroup. I am not sure, if it is hardcoded somewhere, but there is not need for it anyhow.

If your other PCs are on the internal network of your core, the core will find them, no matter what the workgroup. (It is always funny, if a friend visits me with his notebook, he connects to my Wifi network, and all of a sudden, LinuxMCE asks me, if I want to use his shares)

The location has changed, and the new location should have been updated in the wiki.

http://svn.linuxmce.org/svn/

Is the base for all branches. Go from there, to find the branch you want.

If you find the wrong URL still on some pages in the wiki, could you please modify those pages to reflect the new current URL.

Thank you

What I'm really asking right now though is is: Will LinuxMCE run ok with just one network card and play AVI files i send to it from the Mac?

To answer the question in the title first: In my humble opinion, LinuxMCE is overkill for you, and might bring you more grief, than worth. Try a pure media center like XBMC

I wonder, if this could be integrated into a heartbeat type setup with a hot standby. hmmm

What recommendations for a remote control?
[..]Actually I've just remembered I've got a couple of old ipaqs in the garage! would they be better?

If you iPAQ's are old enough, and are directly supported, I would prefer those orbiters over a regular IR or BT remote any day.

Andrew,

that is very nice information you post here, regarding the video performance of the little ASUS box. You might be on to something here

I assume, you are testing it with SD content.

The playlist it self stores the keys only.

Playlists are in pluto_media as well 

I can do that myself. Thanks Thom

Tschak,

do you have to run regen for the orbiter, if you change the mouse cursor?

sp00nhead,

great!

Would you mind making a wiki entry out of it? You might want to look at the Insteon wiki entry made by ddamron

Thanks again!
