[QUOTE="Pierrelenfestey, post: 29019, member: 17281"] Thanks alot, Kris. Just a couple of further dumbish questions: This is a bit off topic, but, hey. What kind of bandwidth would I be needing for streaming video from the server (at PAL resolutions), if streaming is the right word on a LAN. I know there are a number of parameters that could be adjusted to bring down the required bandwidth to allow the data to pass from server to client, but can you get decent quality video to "stream" over an 802.11g wireless LAN. If the PC playing back the video was on a wired Ethernet LAN and the rest on a wireless, could I be recording on the server from an STB, while streaming video to one client and streaming mp3s to another?. I know this is dependent on the hardware I'm using, but is it at all feasible? One last thing. I've done alot of searching around, can anyone tell me why someone hasn't developed a specific server side app that does everything I'm asking for. Is it just because processing power is too limited, or because banwiths over LANs are too small? Or is it just plain wierd? Feel free to pass on this one, it's a bit fringe. If not feel free to refer me to another place. I don't know where to go with this stuff. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
