[QUOTE="dennis9999, post: 819012, member: 117256"] I'm a media server newbie. I'm considering MediaPortal. Would someone please let me know if what I want is doable, and recommend any components (HW, SW, Plugins, etc.): Within a small office LAN, I would like to distribute multiple 'live' sources to multiple devices (tvs, pcs), each device selecting source (or in case of tv, a master pc indicating which source to send to tv): inputs: 3 IP Cameras - ideally cat5 PoE 1 DVD Player (or can I just use the DVD player on the PC?) 1 Cable Box (recommend TV tuner card?) outputs (players): 2 TVs with HDMI (and other input capability) 3 PCs optionally, access cameras over internet. Also, I don't yet have the HTPC for this, so if you could recommend a pre-built one with not just minimum, but actual real-world "recommended" CPU, Memory, etc. I'd really appreciate that too.
