Windows Multi-Media PC Software

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone know of a good program to use as a front end for my multi-media box. I would like it to be able to be controlled from a wireless remote, and have options for Audio, Video, and Emulators. I currently run Mandrake 9.2, but I can change that around if the right software is found...

Thank you in advance =)

 

For Linux there is mythtv, freevo etc. For windows there is myhtpc, showshifter, main lobby. Thats just to list a few.

 

what linux distro deals with media and what other programs are there

 

MyHTPC is very good, I recommend it, but if you want to keep with Manny then go with MythTV

 

i have no doubt that my htpc is good i just wanna knaow whats all out there

 

Then google is your friend

 

Thanks guys, I am not 100% certain, but I am playing around with just writing an XML page and have that boot full screen to launch apps. I will check out your suggestions though..

Thanks alot
Twisted

 

MythTV is VERY good I am currently setting it up with Fedora and have a few bits working (not the TV bit yet though). I just used apt-get install mythtv-suite to get most of it running, then followed a 'how-to' to get it to where it is now I think my next task is the get the DVD ripper to compress things instead of just doing a direct copy.
