Yes via the upnp choice in the PBO -- but I believe it will only play local files/content that you load into the media folders of XBMC -- I can't seem to find a way to allow any web content such as Hulu/You Tube to stream to the PBO

It's quite simple -- just install XBMC - turn it on and choose upnp in the PBO's browser section and it just works (for me anyway)

PS -- any media that you load into the folders of XBMC most likely can be played directly on the PBO through the 'NET' access on the PBO - provided they are set up to be shared properly from your PC/media server
Because of this -- I haven't found much of a reason to use XBMC via upnp on the PBO -- same goes for Boxee which uses XBMC's upnp to stream the pre-loaded local content to a upnp enabled device such as the PBO

Same for me as the UPNP just dumps all your movie titles in one very long list and since there aren't headers like mp3 files have, you can't do genres or anything like that to keep it from being so long. I have subfolders with genres so I just use the net browsing function as well because I have a lot of movie titles to browse through.

If you are talking about running XBMC on the patriot? That is very unlikely; the PBO does not have the horse power to run that application. Further your PBO has more in common with your home dvd player than you PC.

This link might interest you and it will stream online content. http://patriotmem.com/forums/showpos...72&postcount=1

snappy - mediatomb looks quite interesting since I have been looking for a way to play web content on the PBO

I don't use an internal HDD on the PBO -- but could mediatomb be run off of a USB flash drive on one of the POB's USB ports - if so I assume the front port may be the best choice - or wouldn't it matter?

I just noticed MT won't work on windows

Thanks anyways

You don't need windows to run mediatomb if you install it on the PBO. You can install it anywhere you want as long as you have room including USB stick (ports does not matter). (mediatomb is not very big) you could probably install it on /usr/local/mediatomb if you wanted to. You use a web browser to connect to the UI to enter new feed into the database. Just see my post indicated above and use that version of mediatomb since it has been built using a static option which mean no dependencies required.

OK - I'll give it a shot

Thanks

bottom line .. no ..
excellent discussion here.

It should be possible.
it is just linux system as PBO.
Openelec is just 80mb to 110mb size with full load in XBMC
