Possible solution for browsing video collection

[Mark F]

.NET is Microsofts Application Programming Interfaces (API) that lets Windows programmers "easily" build applications that take advantage of a networked environment. :D

It provides routines that do all kinds of stuff that is supposed to be important in that environment. I haven't used .NET nor studied the API in depth so I have no direct experience from which to draw.

From my perspective, though, the little I've read seems to imply yet more Visual Basic-ish bloatware that locks you into Microsoft solutions. Every .NET application I've read about has required things like IIS, NT/XP server and other crap that is done better and cheaper with open solutions. Oh well, what do I know.

The best technical solution doesn't always win. :(

Someone on the AVSforum is working on a solution to browse a video collection on a hard disk via Internet browser :P . I think that would be useful for more people using a HTPC with stored video's :wink:

At least I'm definitely interested since it also collects additional movie information so that you can easely select a movie.

Just have to learn what .net means :-? .
