Make your own media center with Eliza
Eliza is a media-center solution for Unix and GNU/Linux systems. The features are similar for the most exising productis: viewing photo collections, listening to web-radio streams, watching videos and DVD’s, playing music, sharing media across your home network. Eliza is based on Python and GStreamer multimedia framework and can be extented using plugins.
Eliza supports any remote control supported by the linux infrared control project. Currently there is not possibility to watch satellite TV or build PVR but those features are planned and will be implemented soon.
Eliza seems a similar to Freevo, VDR or MythTV. So, it’ll be good to have a choice when you decided to create a home media center.
As I mentianed above Eliza is *nix based software but developer team provides also a version for Windows users.
