Topic: So Close...

[tlevel]

Hi,

www.mvixusa.com is so close to what I want, but the interface sucks on it, don't think you can have cover art or much of any details of anything. But I could be wrong. Anybody have any experience with this? Would be nice to be able to interface with DVDP or something... to get the information you want to it.

Cheers,

[Kathy]

Oh and don't bother, I've searched google already......there's no cure

For some reason, that link gives me this message

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

What is this all about, I wonder...

It's about a very nice HD Media Center extender for home networks.  There's no reason for the link not to work for you, it's just a regular web site.  Maybe it was down, you should try again.  If not you can search google for "mvix media center", I'm sure you'll find a lot of info.

Thanks Touti,

Of course there's always this one http://www.tvixbox.com/, but again, I don't think the user interface is all that good either. Would like to display cover art, etc. If I could get a better interface, I would get one for sure, and rip all my DVD's to NAS.

Cheap Kaleidescape system anyone?

Just received an email from MVIX, I was asking them if they plan on doing something about there interface. They said they addressed it in there next gen model due out in 3-4 months. Guess I'll just have to wait and see. But here's hoping.
