anyone looked at the Popcorn Hour (<a href="http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/" target="_blank">http://www.popcornhour.com/onlinestore/</a>)<br>
wireless/wired media device as a front end to MythTV - its similar to the MVP<br>
but support HD outpput via HDMI and multiple codecs including Xvid and H.264.<br>

It has worked great for serving up my content through NFS mounts - iso, mkv, mpeg2, avi all work, though some are more feature rich (i.e. ff/rw on mkv doesnt always work properly). <br>
<br>I have tried using Myth's uPNP, but the Popcorn Hour winds up timing out when I drill down to "By Title" in the recordings group. I dont know if this is a Myth or PCH issue... In the meantime, I just put together a few PHP pages that are served up from my master backend. I can browse my recordings and videos, and get the added benefit of cover art, etc from the Myth database.<br>
<br>I'd love to see a full Myth feature set for it, whether through mvpmc (which I currently use elsewhere in the house) or native to Myth. <br></div></div><br> - J<br>
