I Love You Elisa.

March 23, 2008 – 10:36 am

There is a new woman in my life and her name is Elisa. And don’t worry, Corin’s cool with it. In fact it’s more like a polyamorous relationship. Ok, stop freaking out. I’m talking about the totally fuckin’ bitchin’ media center front end I installed on my media server! It’s.So.Rad.Here are a list of it’s features:

• Plays AVI/MKV/OGM/MPEG/WMV/MOV/VOB/MP4 video files (more added every release).
• Plays MP3/FLAC/OGG/WMA/AAC/M4A and many more audio files.
• Seamlessly syncs with your iPod and all digital music players.
• Plays Youtube videos and even loads your personal favorites and your own posted videos.
• Plugins for additional services (Um…Youporn and Redtube anyone?).
• Plays Shoutcast internet radio.
• Plays podcasts.
• Plays files stored on networked drives.
• Displays photos from your local drive or Flickr.
• Remote control support (but I think I want a wireless keyboard).
• Runs on Linux, OS X and Windows.
• FREE and TOTALLY OPEN SOURCE.

It’s still development software, so things could get bumpy with upgrades. But it works as advertised and fucking rules. Yes, I will help you install it. House calls cost money, pizza, beer or all three.

My poor old DVD player is now obsolete.
