What about creating an interface with the new Philips Pronto Pro (TSU-9600, 9400 and 9200).

Philips is about to release a two-way IP communications feature.

That would allow Xlobby to display info directly on the Philips Pronto Pro.

Check out the info on the feature:

Press Release: http://www.pronto.philips.com/index.cfm?id=1519

Info on ProntoScript: http://www.pronto.philips.com/prontoscr ... fm?id=1422

I am now using this remote control with Xlobby and uses Girder and Xremote to control it. It would be nice if Xlobby could send feedback to the remote; music playing, movie playing, photos, etc.

The remote uses Wi-Fi and IR to communicate to devices. If we could interface with Xlobby that would be sooooo cool.

The new release is expected within the next two weeks.

I saw the pronto pro at a show last week with its ip hub for rs232, contact closure and ir out, very cool peice of kit, absolutly perfect for hiding kit away.

UDP packet monitoring....

This option would be GREAT for the cost conscious DIY'er. PowerHome is very cheap (on time $70, - no upgrade fees and no yearly maintance fees etc), and is VERY powerful.

A definte +1

In the "Movies" display, the width of the yellow frame around the selected movie image needs to scale in proportion to the size of the images; when displaying a larger number of images per page, the width of the yellow frame is way too large, and obscures the adjacent movies.

The amount that the selected movie image is enlarged should also be reduced somewhat, for the same reason.
