I have an Acer Revo R3610 that I'm wanting to use as a media centre.
I have no experience with media centres, I have so far ripped my dvd collection to a folder on my HDD on my desktop and would like to access them through the acer, as easily as possible! An ideal setup would be turn on the Acer, it boots straight to a pretty list of files in the folder on my PC (at some point hopefully replaced by a NAS), so I can select one to watch. Is this possible?
I'll probably be using a Logitech K400 or similar, use of a wiimote would be nice if this is possible, seeing as though I only need to scroll through a list, select, play, pause, stop, I have one kicking around and they are bluetooth so in theory could work.
I'd like it to support blu ray rips as well, I'm planning on replacing my DVD writer with a blu ray drive of some sort, don't even know what file type a blu ray rip will be yet!
What would suit my needs or at least come close?
