It’s time for some action again.
I’ve been very busy the last 2 month’s as some of you might now. Here are some of the things that I’ve been doing the last 2 month’s
- Switched from employer, from RealDolmen to Google
- Moved from apartment, painting the place, cleaning etc
- Migrated my existing environment
- Working on a new project
But, as off today I have some time again to write on my blog. My first post on which I’m currently working will be about the “perfect” (in my opinion) media center. It will exist out of 3 parts. I will begin to explain what and why, then I will explain my testing and last but not least I will tell you about my final solution.
Expect that post to be ready by the end of next week!
I also did some updates to my website. I repaired the emails, I noticed that there wasn’t that much activity on my website, however, when I logged into my admin panel I noticed a lot of comments.
I did some log checking and I found out that my mail wasn’t working correctly. That is fixed as of now!
Cheers!
Looking for to your media center writeup. I am slowly but surely getting my home systems up and running. I am trying will hopefully be looking at getting my music and video collection accessible across all my devices. (Windows, Linux, iOS, Android, ps3, and Xbox).
Hi Joe,
I finished my blog post. You can find it over here (http://www.linux-answered.com/2012/11/26/the-perfect-media-center-setup-post-12/).
To answer your question about how to make sure that every device can use your content. You might have a look to tvmobili. However, as described it will bring you a lot of good stuff but it also comes with some disadvantages.
You might also take a look at ps3mediaserver. This one also works awesome, but it uses the DLNA protocol.
I’ve decided to stop with this and switch everything to xbmc.
I’m using the xbmc on Windows but I’ve tested and confirmed it on Linux as well ( it runs awesome!). I also use my android smartphone with the xbmc remote! This is also an awesome feature!
I’d love to hear more about your solution and what you created at home!
