[QUOTE="enchant, post: 484048, member: 72572"] No - just straight videos, but I like how I have things set up now. I can sit back on my couch and use the remote to browse through my library. Am I in the mood for a movie? Some old Deadwood episodes? A few recent Daily Shows that I've missed? Perhaps there are other media player options available, but MediaPortal is one that I'm familiar with. I haven't ruled out that option, but I was hoping that I could leave MediaPortal installed on my friend's machine for his use when he goes up there. I know. And the thought of getting [i]this[/i] close to a complete installation and then discovering that I'm missing [i]one[/i] little piece... Well, it would be enough to ruin my week. I was thinking I could do a test install. Put everything I think I'll need on a thumb drive and then install it on a freshly loaded (and unconnected machine). A dress rehearsal of sorts. The great outdoors is overrated. All that nature and stuff - yuck. Kidding - I love to get away from it all, but you can't guarantee that you won't have three days of rain, and you can't go out drinking EVERY night... Thanks for the pointer on that alternate player. I'll look into it. [/QUOTE]
