A box that will be used as a back and frontend (box1) and connected to my
TV. My main computer (box2).
Config1: Currently there are all sorts of video on box2. I would prefer to
keep them on there. Box2 also has a wireless router (Linksys WRT54G
v5) attached to it. I am thinking of getting a wireless card for box1 and
setting it up to be able to access Box1 through the router. Is this
possible? A problem that I envisage will hinder me here is that I still
switch quite frequwntly between linux and XP on box2.
Config2: What I suspect is the easier configuration method is to have the
videos on box2. This box will (most likely) be a SUSE box. Then if I want to
access the videos from box2, I then will have to setup network access from
box2 whether I am in Linux or XP.
Now even if one of these setups is possible, will it be a case of streaming
or actually having to download the videos to the box that is wanting to
stream? If streaming, will it be noticeable on the streaming box?
Which also leads to this question: If I add another PC to one of my other
TVs (box3) onto the same wireless router network, when I want to watch a
recording on box3, will it stream without jerkiness? Would box3 require me
to run a slave backend? What would the minimum specs one should look for in
a box3 type setup.
I ope I have articulated my vision well.

Yalusa
