What LMCE's feature most impress other people when you show it ?
« on: November 03, 2008, 11:52:10 pm »
Hi,

I'd kindly ask for contributions of experiences what happens when you show your LMCE system to your friends or any other people ...

What feature impress them most ? What feature impresses you most ?

My friends are for instance really impressed, when LMCE detects their BT mobile phones...

Thanks in advance,

regards,

Bulek.

We sit outside on the patio with a fire in the fire pit and music playing from the family room.  The most impressive feature thus far has been handing them a n810 and telling them to play whatever song they want from whatever artist (granted, it has to be from my collection). 

They change songs/artists/volume and it's difficult to get them to relinquish the controls  :)

The N800 orbiter definitely catches people's attention right away. 

After people play with it for a while, the huge amount of media that's available to them without getting off the couch is also impressive.  I think it partly impresses people because of all the non-mainstream videos that I have in my collection (TED talks, youtube videos, etc).

For me the most exceptional aspect of LinuxMCE is that it properly unifies all of my AV gear and most of my media out of the box.  Also exceptional is that I was able to fairly easily integrate podcast and bittorrent downloads in a pretty usable way.

Thanks to all the developers and contributors for making LinuxMCE possible!

Whenever someone sees my install for the first time, there are always 2 things that are raved about:

1) The screensaver slideshow - everyone just loves it. Chicks dig it especially

2) When I start a movie and the TV magically turns itsself on, and the light dim down. It always gets a jaw-dropping reaction

Thanks for response...

I agree, except don't do this during the day, cause lights will come up and down anyway :-) ....

Thanks in advance to all contributions to this thread,
