Hi there,
the NMM team is happy to announce the second 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.

This release includes a minor bugfix for playback a pre-recorded TV stream at a constant frame rate.

Currently, NMM-Oppix provides the following features:

• Includes latest NMM version (0.8.0).
• 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.
• Demonstrate the network capabilities of NMM, like network transparent audio/video playback (requires a DHCP and a DNS server!)
• 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 Playback with CDDB support if a second CD rom drive is available.
• CD-Grabber and transcoding to MP3/OggVorbis
• DVD Playback if a second 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!).
• Transcoding of arbitrary media files. Transcoded files are stored under "/home/knoppix/Media/Transcoding".
• clic, an application for setting up distributed multimedia flow graphs from a high-level specification or a URL.
