[Fwd: Call for a Gnome Media Center]

[Jason Brower <encompass gmail com>]

I totally agree. it would be a great next step in the gnome desktop.  I
could even see a wonderful framework that would be simple to settup and
use with a remote.  Mythbox and other devices are for, in my opinion,
single purpose systems. Not to mention over bloated.

Hi all,

With the integration of Gnome media shortcut in Totem and Rhythmbox and
appleir driver for Apple Remote, i was able to play with Apple Remote
and rhythmbox.

However, Gnome does not have a kind of media center. What do you think
about such software ?

Gstreamer going mature, it would be very nice to provide a nice
fullscreen app allowing to handle remotly music, video, photo, dvd,
podcast, etc. The problem is : where are the basis for accessing such
media ? We can only rely to rhythmbox to handle music and podcast.
F-spot handle a photos library, but is that part of Gnome (and C# apps
are not wellcome). Neither Rhythmbox nor totem handles video collection.
DVD is handled by users, that's not a matter.

That would be a nice Google SoC :)

Please comment,
Étienne.
