Behavior with Multiple Monitors, or Multiple Computers....
I know this is one heck of a stretch, but I have a ProGear Webpad (400 Mhz Transmeta Processor running XP with 128 megs of RAM and a touchscreen) and I'd love to integrate it with SnapStream. I'm in the process of building an HTPC setup, and am wondering if it's possible for snapstream to display, say Program guide information on one monitor, and LiveTV and whatnot on a 2nd display?
If it can do that, then I can come up with a way (possibly) to mirror the 2nd display on the Progear. Where I'm going with this is that I'd like to have the progear (wireless) on my coffee table with a program guide at all times, and use it to control SnapStream. This might be a feature request, of sorts. Since it's a touch screen, being able to "click" on the screen would be extremely useful, as the current FSUI doesn't support mice at all. Given that, being able to separate the program guide / media library navigation from the actual playback and Live TV display would be extremely useful. I could, for example, navigate my latest recordings on my web pad, and after a tap or three, have the show on the TV screen. Or, what would be even neater, is the ability to view and control the program guide and schedule recordings while my Live TV (or playback) continues on my TV screen uninterrupted. You could also use the 2nd display to show ancillary data about the show, like the time it was recorded, or a plot summary, or something mildly useful like that.
Heh. I KNOW that's a tall order, but it'd still be neat to have, maybe in version 3.5, or version 4.0. Oh yeah, and multiple tuners would be nice too.
