As I got to write long ago are the lucky owner of two well-Elgato Eyehome, and so is the appreciation for this product and so was the disappointment to discover that the company that produced it has ceased completely support. In this regard I have already grumble, but I tried to go further and find a solution, especially not keep me tied to double-locked the server side to the Apple platform. After a

and I tasted some movie sample with the new solution. Suddenly I reached my wife, who rightly argues: "So what? Already saw all before, right?". In part may be right, but with three important measures: we are no longer tied to an Apple server, you can see images even without going through iPhoto and finally ... the same old pleasure of saying "you can do ! !
Having even a Wii right next all'EyeHome I also tested the homebrew solution (thankfully Nintendo has a lot more tolerant in terms of "user experience "...) WiiMC .

- Reading files from samba shares
- Audio formats beyond MP3
- Support Youtube
I do not like to repeat the obvious to the bitter end, but the evolutionary possibilities offered by an open platform (or almost) are now essential: in a world where everything that evolves can not do it for the landfill ...
