Cool looking project.

How are the files being served? Via HTTP? VLC as a server?

I'm curious on how difficult it would be to add transcoding. I only have a 3Mbit upload at home, and get all my content in high def, so without transcoding, it's not very useful for me.

I'd also love to use this for sending video to my Android phone...

Right now it's just HTTP. I did try some transcoding with VLC as the server, but the CPU was not powerful enough to keep the stream coming. I only have a small Asrock so it's not that powerful. I was trying to transcode to flash tho, might take less cpu if I only change bitrate to limit bandwidth. I might just give it one more try Smile

Thanks for the feedback!

If you release the code, I'd be happy to try it as well. Smile

We really see this working well on a slate/pad formfactor. We have decided to keep working on the project and hopfully release it as soon as the first slates come out. We also want to wait until latest release of XBMC is done to make sure it works perfectly with that one. Thank you all for your interest! We will update this thread as things move along Smile

Hi, this project looks very promising, can you give us an update on the progress?

thanks Frank

I would surely use this when released Smile

Just noticed this thread. This plus a transcoding option would be a dream. The transcoding would not only support slates, but also ipads to work. Should further increase user base with a then possible xbmc for iPad.

This is exactly what I am looking for + some. I have been wanting to stream music via http at my office. Any testing in the US needed? Smile

Oh man if this can work on the ipad or android tablet I will be in heaven! Combine this app with a Slingbox and there will absolutely be no need for a TV in the bedroom.

I am so in. this would be a dream come true if we could stream to an android tablet or phone. Please release this and I would help test.thanks
