Hi,

I have a Windows XP media center PC at home connected to my network. It has a huge mp3 and movie collection as well as TV card for recording TV on it.

So now, if possible, with my new Hermes I would like to connect to my media center, listen to audio and watch recorded TV, and other movies (divx)

is there any way to do this ?
any application that would do ?

There is an application named Rudeo Control at:
http://www.rudeo.com/mce.htm

But is this only for controlling ? or does it also receive streaming from the PC ?

if there is no easy way and/or application I would also be happy to reach it at least for my mp3 files through file manager on PPC. at least is this possible ?

Not sure about Windows Media Center but you can see your networked shares using Resco Explorer. You just map a share then you can stream any media.

I remember setting windows media encoder up with my old IPAQ and just used the inbuilt media player to watch asf streams. Im sure there is a better solution now though.
