Hey Chris,
My TZ is GMT+1, I will try to be on IRC late tomorrow (monday) evening
around 23:00/11pm (GMT+1). My nick will be m_abs.
It can't be too late during the workdays.
Your building blocks looks like a reasonable starting point to me.
Personally the picture viewer isn't important to me, but I can see how it's
needed.
One thing I think would be a good idea is to talk about what other
mediacenter-software do well and what they do that is not so good. I've
mostly experience with XBMC, which is the system I'm using at the moment.
I know most of it will come much later after the basic building blocks are
in place, but it might give some directions.
