Been playing around with media server.
Although I have problems with running it on win2000 server I was able to run it on one of the clients for now.
Media server seem to wrap any format and copy it to the client machine using a custom protocol.
I have a 10 Mbit internet connection at home, so I can actually "stream" pretty much anything to my office and other locations
One issue though.
When "streaming" avi files (300 MB+) it takes a very long time since it copies everything(even on 100 MBit network).
Instead of streaming, I tried to create a playlist on the client, where I dragged my AVIs. Everything seem to work fine, however when I restart the client, the playlist that I created no longer exist, and MC crash when entering the playlist section.
What would be the proper way of keeping AVI/MPGs apart from the streaming library... can I have two libraries loaded on the client.. one media server library and one local where the movies are listed with unc paths for direct access.
