MediaPortal
Media Portal is a free-source project that aims to create software for converting a computer or TV into an authentic Multimedia Center.
The origins of this project are in the XBOX Console. The project supervisor was tired from the fact that this system was not simply ready, so it was adapted to Windows.
Ever heard of Windows Media Center? Yes Media Portal is the GNU option for this Microsoft program. Even its interface is similar!
But ... what can you do with it? many things. For starters, if you have a TV tuner card on your computer, you can record your favorite shows on TV and the program, with the support of several international TV formats.
But not just television - Mediaportal allows you to manage all available stations when your tuner is supported on the radio.
Plus, you can watch the DVD directly and get information to play directly from the internet. The program gets information from the 'Internet Movie Database', IMDB
Media Portal lets you listen to all the audio files on your system and create your playlists. And do not forget your pictures, which, of course, will be able to see on your TV or computer screen.
Finally, among other features of RSS News Feed and Weather Information you will be able to access using this amazing tool which is still under development.
