I want a system that can do the following:<br><br>Sit in the lounge - but importantly it will have no CD or DVD drive.<br>Map a network drive containing MP3's<br>Map a network drive containing ripped DVD (not actually ripped any yet)

<div style="direction: ltr;"><div style="direction: ltr;"><div>Yes, very easily, you can just mount the drives using cifs and then point MythVideo and MythMusic at thos mounted directories. A little tweaking and away you go.

Allow me to browse and playback MP3's and DVD's in a sensible way with<br>folder based browsing and "cover art".</blockquote></span></div></div></blockquote><div><br><br>This part isn't as easy. I am mainly talking about the music. I am not a big fan of MythMusic. It's hard to navigate and not very intuitive. Creating playlists is difficult. I would much prefer MythMusic and MythWeb to be integrated better. I understand there is work in progress to accomplish this. I would really like to see an iTunes like interface. I think it would be great. I am using MythVideo to playback DVDs that I have ripped onto my Windoze box and it works GREAT. I have had problems lately with NFS borking on me. It just stalls and I have to stop and re-start the service. But it works well! I love Myth. It's a great project and I can't wait to see all the improvements in the future.
