I've done a lot of desktop Mac development and a smattering of iOS.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Cool. If this goes through I may have questions....

Hey. New board.
ita !, the only one I've ever used was something called ps3mediaserver. I have no idea if it will have the same problems you're having, but it worked for my needs for the short time I needed it. It uses mplayer and ffmpeg as its backend, which have always been able to handle any video file I threw at them.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That's dedicated to the PS3. I'm not sure my TV requires the same transcodes. Most of the servers I've used detect what sort of devices are on my network, and theoretically transcode specifically for them. But they've all fallen short, bar Serviio, in some formats/codecs for the TV at least. I haven't thoroughly tried testing with anything else other than the TouchPad, and it supports pretty much jackshit.
I'd love to fall in love with WebOS, but some developers have to do so first, and I mean *love*. Like, I mean, free apps. I don't want to spend money in the courtship period--I want to be convinced of a sufficient software base available for free, and then I pay for the perks.
I'm pessimistic about its future, more than I was before I had one.
And it's a nifty OS, to the limited degree I've found the apps useful.

Hey. New board.
It may be dedicated to the PS3, but it certainly served content just fine to my LG Blu-Ray player. I don't know much about it, admittedly.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'd have to install it to see if my TV would even pick it up. If I have time this weekend.

Hey. New board.
Maybe TVMobili? Not free, but looks flexible and may be worth it for you.

I'd be happy to answer questions. MacOS and iOS development is a lot of fun.

I'll give TVMobili a try this weekend, Gris, thanks.
I have a Lytro question.
Now, it's not just that you don't need to focus anymore, and it takes care of that for you after the fact. But what I'm not sure about is that I'm used to sometimes exercising precise control over the depth of field of my photographs. And I know (well, not with the DSLR's preview anymore, sadly), how much I'm gonna get, from where. How can I tell with the Lytro camera how deep I will be getting?
