</div>Hi Richard,<br>
<br>
I haven't actually used it myself, but I think this is what I was talking about:<br>
<br>

I looked into it at one point, but I think it required Qt and MySQL to<br>
be installed, plus a list of other stuff a kilometre (I'm Canadian ;-)<br>
) long. I had my doubts it would fit well in the device's limited root<br>
FS, and I still haven't been brave enough to try cloning the OS to an<br>
SD card.<br>
<br>
As far as I understand it was a port of the "true" interface...<br>
meaning it would function as a distinct frontend, presumably trying to<br>
display the video locally on the device. Around the time I got the<br>
device I thought it would be cool to have an interface that could be<br>
run on the device to select a recording (or whatever) and then have it<br>
play on the main TV frontend, similar to what someone (you?) outlined<br>
a little while back.<br>
