MediaProvider v0.1.01 released and NAS Indiegogo started

[Tobias Wolf]

MediaProvider *v0.1.01* has been released. This is a *pre-alpha release* 
intended for testing and development purposes.

MediaProvider [1] is a platform to provide media in your network. It should be 
irrelevant on which device they should be played back or where the data is 
stored.

Test results can be published on the end-user community [2]. More detailed 
information how to get all relevant details will be published on the web site. 
The source code for all modules being used are on github [3]. Please visit our 
development web site [4] for more information.

*Vision*

As the first step a MediaServer compliant to the UPnP standard is available for 
duty. It should be accessible by any DLNA compatible device. But this Python-
based software should not only be a UPnP / DLNA server. A HTML5 interface 
intended for SmartTVs and mobile devices should bring a MediaCenter interface 
where it belongs to: To the TV screen.

*Indiegogo NAS campaign*

To bring the project one step closer to this goal we need your help. An 
Indiegogo [5] campaign should provide this young project the funds to buy a 
Synology DiskStation DS414slim and four hard drives. This development unit is 
intended to be placed in a cellar or corridor to stream not only all the media 
to the living room but the MediaCenter interface as well.

Best regards and stay entertained
