I picked up roky2 xs and really like the device. I like it more than
WD Live streamer even though it does not support that many formats.
Especially exciting the ability to develop custom apps.

I have few suggestions for MyMedia server:
- Ability to specify several directories for a category. Possibly
directory list. If more that one directory specified, they would
appear under a category as individual folders. List can be separated
with ";" to keep happy windows and unix.
- Ability to support non real time transcoding. For example if the
user selects an .avi file the server would ask if the user wanted to
transcode. The tools are readily available and all that needed is to
launch transcoder as a subprocess and return to the interface. When
process ends user can view the file. Server can even maintain a queue
of the files to be transcoded.

I experimented with live transcoding and WD Live and it does not work
well. Offline transcoding is the way to go.

I am not that proficient in python but will try to get better and to
contribute. IMHO this is very worthwhile project.

Thanks,
Alex
