Freevo Home Theatre Platform

Today my boss introduced me to Freevo – an open source home theatre system for linux, written in Python. Record your TV shows and save them for later, accessible via the web interface if you’re at work and you forgot that The Return of Howard the Duck is on. A localised and accurate TV guide is provided on the system by XMLTV.

Play mp3′s, dvd’s, divx, and whatever else your average media centre does. Maybe install it on a modded Xbox for the ultimate entertainment system. I like the sound of Freevo, I think I will have to give it a bash.

    Yeah, I’m tempted to give it a try, especially if I can find a good HDTV tuner card that is well-supported in Linux.
