Media Player Box for my TV
ChadTower:
What type of interface do you have for the PC itself? Standard keyboard/mouse, or are you hoping to reduce that to something simpler?
SirPeale:
Right now it's a keyboard/mouse. I want to get a remote of some kind so I can do chapters if I'm watching DVDs, or fast-forward thru non-chaptered video files. It's be nice to use it to select videos to watch as well.
ChadTower:
I bet there are some good remote friendly front ends out there for this... you'll just have to set up your server share in a manner that works well with the front end. Lots of Media PCs out there and they have to be using something.
bfauska:
If your hardware doesn't have native IR support, do some searching about the USB-uirt. It is a great way to add IR remote ability to any PC, and you can use remotes you already have or pick up at a thrift store.
SirPeale:
Thanks. I saw a header for it on the motherboard, I'll look into both solutions.
Now...what about a decent front end?
