While the project is mainly a personal plaything to keep me amused during long winters, however it’s so cool when media devices from different vendors e.g. Netgear & Gateway all work together seamlessly using software that I designed.
Even better is the 1st time ever that I’ve managed to control HiFi equipment over WiFi with a PDA. All with off-the-shelf components.
Keep watching – I’m figuring out how I want my content directories to work at the moment, it won’t take long to translate that into a working prototype. I’ll share out my source when its a little more robust.
The future for digital media is amazing…
