The NAS does should show up as a Shared or Network Storage.

The infrant can also show up in Itunes as a shared library, at least for music that works for sure. No coverflow though. Check out the media streaming section in the infrant support forums. For movies it doesnt do that yet, however this is not super critical since Front Row pulls in whatever is in the movie folder, even if there is an alias inside, it follow its path.
But for TV Shows, Itunes would be very nice though.

If you set the library path for iTunes to the media folder on the ReadyNAS, then you get coverflow functionality, as the mac just treats the NAS as an extra harddisk.
The server also shows up as a resource under SHARED, but I access it from the main LIBRARY section of iTunes.
You're right as to Movies. I open those using VLC for playback (which I consider a superior platform to QuickTime for many kinds of files I'm watching).
Can any explain the manual for the Beo4VRC Software to me. I have used google translater but it seems to be missing some key points during the translation. I'm currently trying to activate it to use Media center
Thsnks
Brendon,
I could try to help you with the translation. You should send me your document via PM as I'm not shure to have the same version stored here on my computer.
However, the first thing I would suggest is to contact the programmer. It is not unlikely that he already has an English version. For contact details see the "Impressum" on his
@Francis the creator of the Beo4VRC software has not email ime back and its been week.
Anyway, I have question do you know if I must have an IRtrans to make MediaCentral work? Here is my current setup:
Mac Mini PPC (no IR)
Beoport
Bang& Olufsen IR Puck plugged into Beoport
The new BM-LINK that I can control Front Row with Beo4 remote
Do you think I can purchase Ired Software only and have with in this set to control Mediacentral with help of Beo4_VRC? Or do I have to purchase the IRTrans LAN control in order for this to work?
Basicly will the B&O puck remote work for me in these instance.
Thanks
If mediacentral works is difficult to anwser, while Ired simulates keystrokes that match what the mac remote has, you typically send these to a specific application.
If you are patient and invest a few hours to learn you can come up with your own VRC. The template I have took me probably a weekend or so and I researched a lot to find a solution for fast scrolling.
The B&O puck will not work, as the Ired software is written for IRtrans. You would need to connnect it to the mac and then find some sort of driver which is not there.
Cheers

I have applescript written that does not require me to use Ireds. No additional hardware required :)
Brenon
I think I know how you did that. Didn't anyone mention here that one can link in his own apple script into BM Link?
Would you post an example? Maybe that way fast scrolling could be implemented by repeating the down keystroke a few times.
Thanks
JK
It does not do fast scrolling. Just simple commands (up,down,left right).
