My Fantasy Living Room A/V setup(TM).

Playing “My Fantasy Living Room A/V setup(TM)” in my head, my hardware list is now running at:

The missing link, until today, was Elgato’s new EyeConnect, which it turns out is a UPnP media streamer. I like the sound of this - UPnP seems to be where home networks are converging and it sounds very interesting. I must read specifications when I get a chance (a BIG chance - there are a lot of specs there!)

I’m a little bit surprised that this whole architecture popped into existance over two years ago and I’ve only noticed it now - it would seem there is no reuse of subsets of distributed server architectures in common use in large enterprises (CORBA/J2EE/.NET/WS-*). OK, they use XML, HTTP and URIs but thats about as close as they get. I should be surprised but then again…

Please don’t tell me how much that would cost, let me dream…
