A user who posted on our forum at mediajukebox.com suggested that what we're trying to do with our software is similar to what is going on here, so I'm posting here to ask for ideas.
I'll give a nutshell view of what we do. More info is on our web site. www.mediajukebox. com. Reviews are at CNET and other sites.
MJ is a music jukebox for Windows, but it also plays video, DVD, and over the air TV. It plays most formats that can be played by Windows Media Player and Real, since it uses their playback engines, and it supports Winamp plugins so it can play most formats that Winamp plays. It rips, encodes, and burns. It supports many handheld MP3 players and CE devices.
MJ support IRMan and X10. Girder support was kindly added and documented by a user.
It has a Big Picture mode that is intended for use from across the room. This is undocumented because it is not yet perfect. CTRL-W is the switch.
We'd like to make it work perfectly in the environment I believe you are talking about here: PC / Home Theater integration.
I have two questions.
1. What are we missing to satisfy your needs?
2. What software do you currently use?
I assume that there will be many people who use Linux or Mac, and I apologize in advance that we aren't working in these areas. Yet.
