Hi,
Having a rather large media library, (hundreds of series, almost a thousand movies) I'm considering buying two older laptops, and having one shuffle my Movie library, and the other the TV library (in VLC), each outputting to separate composite cables into the tv, effectively creating two TV channels, so someone can simply 'pop down' and see 'what's on'.
However, that presents a couple of problems
1) multipart movie files
2) knowing the episode/movie/synopsis.
so I kept pondering...
Is there an application or plugin of sorts (which could exist either in MP or standalone) that could effectively manage something like this? I'm imagining a handful of 'windows' on a screen, like the classic brady bunch 9 screen box type window, which could play ~9 videos, and one could be selected or maximised via a number on the keyboard (1-9) etc?
this is 'pie in the sky' kind of thinking, but i can't think of what to search google for to try and find such a thing!
any help would be appreciated....
