Hi there,
the NMM team is happy to announce the first Beta version of NMM-Oppix, a Live-CD based on Knoppix Version 3.7. NMM is fully configured, so that all applications like our Multimedia-Box can be started without additional configuration steps.

Currently, NMM-Oppix provides the following features:

• Includes latest NMM version.
• Includes the complete documentation about NMM.
• Full desktop integration. All important NMM applications, like the Multimedia-Box can easily be started via icons.
• Includes several media files to test and demonstrate a sophisticated multimedia environment without disturbing the used PC.
• Complete installed and configured Multimedia-Box. No additional configuration steps are required to start it. Currently, the following features of the Multimedia-Box can be used:
• Configuration dialog
• Customizable on-screen display (skinning)
• MP3 Playback: play back of MP3 files using the MP3 state.
• Play-list: creation of play lists with all supported media types.
• Multi-tasking: watch a video while transcoding mp3's.
• CD/DVD Playback if a second CD/DVD rom drive is available (Encrypted DVD's can not be played back)".
• Simulated TV (using a pre-recorded TV stream) plus time-shifting. Please note, that KNOPPIX and NMM-Oppix currently don't support dvb cards or tv cards with integrated MPEG2 encoder!
• EPG: Receive epg information via XMLTV (Experimental!).
