>From what I've been able to find so far it should be possible, When the pocket pc (2000) just came out, application development was almost as bad as the iphone, today there are rich .net libraries for multimedia, but back then there was very little.
One of the first apps used winapps to stream music from a pc running slimserver, and it employed something similar to what I have in mind. In fact slimserver is still around, and now it even supports upnp which means my app application could possible use it. So that could even be a possibility. More likely I will use one of the servers I already use, and do most of the filecombining and proxying on the server side. Unfortuantely music is lower on my priority list than video, and my goal right now is to get the first alpha version of my application out. Initially it will support video, and single song playback from a twonkyvision or elgato eyeconnect server. Although it seems to work with the server from my dlink video player too. I'd like to get it to work with nero before I release it. On Aug 7, 3:44 am, skwasha <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > There is a 10mb limit for text resources... not for media.
