Greeting AC'ers,

I am in a Bind.
I dreamt of a Media server will all capabilities and with every codec possible AUDIO and Video.
I was guided to the XBOX
Hence I got a second hand Xbox and other modchip components and stuff and the assembly was cool
But the freaking software part has been killing me ...
I have not completed this yet....
But wanted to have another option from an expirienced users...

I was not aware of a Popcorn Hour / IOBox product which seems close to what i would want.

Can you please suggest me a product which gives me Maximum support for Video Formats HD and Lossy.
And also Lossless Audio Support mainly flac, ape, mp3, wma and High Definition audio ....
I would be also connecting this to my TACT 2.0S from a digital Audio output to my High Fi Set up...
I love to have a script which would search the Net to get Album info or Movies Info and Reviews and then store the info on the HDD and hence dont need to connect to the Internet everytime for such data.
I would like to scroll data on my resident HDD or networked HDD based on folder structure or by taggs.

Any help or advice for me .

Regards

The TVIX 7000A seem cool
Anyone had any experience with them.
Also any idea if it can play High Resolution Audio
Does the Digital Outputs also output high resolution stream as well????
