Well-timed thread. I've just set up a server in the basement that I intend to turn into a media server, and TVersity looks like it might do the trick nicely.

It says it works with the PS3 natch, but it also says it'll work with the DirecTV HR20 (I've got a '21 but whatever). Does that mean that it'll serve up programs stored on the DirecTV box, or does it mean that it'll serve up media *to* the DirecTV box? It was hard to tell from the web site.

I'd also like to figure out how to integrate my Rio Central into that equation. 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?
