Operating Systems Linux Fedora media server? Post 302712709 by alister on Tuesday 9th of October 2012 03:49:09 PM

In case you aren't aware of its existence, you might be interested in XBMC. It's a mature (just celebrated its 10th birthday), popular media center app which can be installed on Ubuntu (and other unix-like systems).

You asked if your old server is too slow but neglected to provide any tech specs. I have never used XBMC myself, so even if you provide more info I cannot answer that question. A possibly quick way to find out for yourself is to download their live cd, XBMCbuntu. If the live CD works well, you can choose to install XBMCbuntu from the LiveCD or to install the XBMC package after installing Ubuntu.

Here's a short demo to give you an idea of what to expect from XBMC and a link to an article referenced by the video description:

NAME
removable-media - removable media device property DESCRIPTION
A device that supports removable media--such as CDROM, JAZZ, and ZIP drives--and that supports power management and expects automatic mounting of the device via the volume manager should export the boolean (zero length) property removable-media. This property enables the system to make the power state of the device dependent on the power state of the frame buffer and monitor. See the power.conf(4) discussion of the device-dependency-property entry for more information. Devices that behave like removable devices (such as PC ATA cards, where the controller and media both are removed at the same time) should also export this property. EXAMPLES
Example 1: removable-media Entry An example of a removable-media entry from the .conf file of a driver is shown below. # This entry keeps removable media from being powered down unless # the console framebuffer and monitor are powered down # removable-media=1; Example 2: Implementation in attach() Below is an example of how the entry above would be implemented in the attach(9E) function of the driver. xxattach(dev_info_t *dip, ddi_attach_cmd_t cmd) { ... if (ddi_prop_create(DDI_DEV_T_NONE, dip, DDI_PROP_CANSLEEP, "removable-media", NULL, 0)) != DDI_PROP_SUCCESS) goto failed; ... } ATTRIBUTES
