Hi all
My wife and kids cannot use the media player as it's obviously to complex. The main problem is that all stuff have to be added to the playlist and that you have to jump back and forth between the two sides in the player.
Also... How do you play an audio cd from the DVD-player if the TV if off?
I would love a programming menu where you could program a specific button on the remote to for example play the CD or so. The the TV could be off as well.
questions:
# 1 # Media player sucks
Is there any better Mediaplayer out there?
# 2 # Shortcuts / Symbolic links
Is there an easy way to add shortcuts/symlinks to the main screen in media player that points out directories on my network share? I mean... My kids and wife have trouble to browse the unix file system to /media/med/Music and /media/med/Movies etc... So I want to add symlinks to these directories (/media/med is the networks CIFS share). I want these symlinks in parallel with the DVD/Flash/External at the top level if possible. HOW do you do that? Do I have to do this in Linux or can I do it from Gemini GUI?
Tnx
