I have been away for a long time and hadn't noticed that my WeatherSix didn't work any more until just this morning. Glad there's a new version!!

http://www.themediamall.com/playon A very interesting application. Works flawlessly with my PS3, but I can't seem to get the Photobridge to recognize it's UPnP. They stream that it outputs is ~5Mbps MPEG-2 video and 128Kbps MPEG stereo audio (according to the status display on my PS3). SO, in theor...

So is the effort dead or what? Anybody get any indication from Endless???

Perhaps it willhelp people in the Soundbridge forums...
They wont see it here.

Best I can do right now is $20.

TOTAL THUS FAR $100

I would love to contribute more but best I could do right now is $20.

I'm talking generally about North America and specifically about Canada. And though they are rare to buy new, *a lot* of people will have older TVs with coax only (in North America anyway). Especially the DC powered TV's intended for mobile (i.e. in an RV or whatever) use. They're also left behind ...

Hmmm....if you have free time, read some of the Photobridge threads....

Seems we know what they've been working on now...

Last time Endless was around these parts was August of last year... His permanence.org site is still up, but seems lacking in any recent activity.

Cool. I wonder now...is it running NFS, or SMB, or is the Roku just browsing it like any other UPnP server???

Has anyone tried with Vista SP1 yet? Supposedly there was quit a bit of change to the WMC component of WMP???

So we picked up this 1 TB network-connectable external hard drive for $320 at Best Buy: http://www.wdc.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=347 Haven't tried to see it from the Roku yet as we've been busy moving files over to it. Hopefully it works! We plan to pick up another one just like it to ac...

Glad it's working for you Matt. The problem with anything USB on the HD1000 is the port is USB 1.1. So it's "stuck in the mud" slow. It will be just fine for pictures and music, but for anything close to a pleasant video experience you'd want either wired or an 802.11g "bridge" d...
