I'm seriously considering writing some kind of app that will translate media-center type stuff into Rio Central requests. I'm pretty clear on the URL query format for the Rio Central (thanks to Roger IIRC), I just need to figure out a way to integrate a back end into something like TVersity. Then my PS3 and my DirecTV box could browse and play music directly from the central, rather than needing to keep yet another copy of my MP3s on the media server.
Anyone have any ideas of really *easy* ways to go about something like that?
The next release of Chorale should be able to serve Central/Empeg content to UPnP clients, at least when running on Linux, maybe Windows too. What OS were you intending for the media server?
It won't ever be 100% seamless, as UPnP can express queries which the more restricted Central/Receiver protocol can't. But the basic stuff should work.
