It's pretty much an UPnP server that streams crap to your playstation3 or xbox 360. Problem is that even though the DivX/XviD format is supported in the newer firmwares, those files were displayed as 'Unsupported Format' in the PS3's GameOS when ... http://brentp.net/2008/07/12/coherence-ps3/ Recently, i've been playing with my speakers and i've found out that they are not outputting *true* 5.1 audio, when it is available on the HD channel i'm watching.  The main issue i was running into was the fact that it was outputting CMSS surround audio (basically, it gets all ... http://brentp.net/2008/04/13/ac3filter-with-51ch-ac3-surround-sound-hdtv/ Recently, I've started working with IIS and have discovered that there is a lack of a (working) plugin for IIS 6.0 that introduces support for ~user style home directories, so I found a plugin called "mapper" that supposedly worked for IIS 3/4/5, and I tried recompiling it to work for ... http://brentp.net/2008/04/06/iis-isapi-plugin-support-for-user-home-directories/ A few days ago, i said a new build of XMLTV Viewer wouldn't be coming for a while, but that was a build of the OLD version of XMLTV EPG Viewer.  This version has been rebuilt from the ground up in a few nights, is half the size of the ... http://brentp.net/2008/01/29/alas-a-new-version-of-xmltv-viewer/ One thing that i'd have to say that sets the .NET framework apart from any other frameworks would be the fact that it has EXCELLENT XML File handling capabilities.  For example, take the following snippet (used in a program im submitting to a competition, i hope):public int NewIndexRecovery() { ... http://brentp.net/2008/01/25/c-xml-file-handling/ I've just uploaded a debug build (so it'll be a bit larger) of XMLTV EPG Viewer with a new installer that doesn't bitch and moan at every turn.  I've also added a brief readme to the installer that describes how to initially set it up (as well as some credits ... http://brentp.net/2007/12/29/newish-installer/ I've added some un-necessary eyecandy, as well as a ratings viewer (it shows you the rating of the tv show, ie: G/PG/M/etc).  The new eyecandy is a picture of the channels logo when you click on their name in the listview, looks pretty spiffy when you use it.
