| '''llink is a media streamer''' that lets you play movies, view online trailers, browse images or play music over a network using the http protocol. It should work with most Syabas NMT hardware (NetworkedMediaTank middleware based players), such as the Popcorn Hour A- and B-series, HDX, iSTAR, Egreat a whole range of others, possibly even a couple of older ones like the LinkTheater. Some of the best reasons to run llink is that it can run on a great many platforms, including most popular NAS devices - even on the NMT player itself - and it can play media directly from RAR files. '''llink''' is also a '''UPNP MediaServer''', sometimes called DNLA/UPNP, and is able to talk to many UPNP devices.

| === Todo ===
| | Simple guide. |
| | |
| In no particular order:
| |
| * Add a transparent FTP fs layer? this would be well nice if it worked with RAR. ''Be quite easy to do now as a 'unrar' replacement, 'unftp'.''
| |
| * Scraping/parsing of .NFO files (for media info).
| |
| * mms:// protocol support (libmms looks ok, but has own select() call, needs deeper inspection).
| |
| ** Implemented as unmms (unrar clone) but Stream support on PCH is lacking. Please bug Syabas about letting us set stream-mode
| |
| * Scrape/look for subtitles (ex. http://www.subtitlesource.org/title/tt0325710/).
| |
| * Proposed [[llink:menus|menus]]. Partly working since v2.2.0
| |
| * Configuration via web page.
| |
| * [http://www.teamavalaunch.com/ Avalaunch] style backgrounds. (Ex. fetch picture from [http://apod.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html NASA] every 30s and refresh) for mp3/playlists.
| |
| * Playing mp3s, and photos from RAR files don't appear to work.
| |
| * When playing music, allow to specify pictures to view.
| |
| * <s>Explore what more power we get from libdvdnav: choose audio tracks etc.</s> ALso, subtitle streams since C200 can display!
| |
| * Support [http://www.antp.be/software/moviecatalog ANT's Movie Database] .xml files.
| |
| ** Difficult. ANT did weird things like put entire DB in one giant XML, with no references to the disk path.
| |
| * Support [http://www.movienizer.com Movienizer's Movie Database] .xml files. Please provide sample .xml files for inspection.
| |
| * Remote skin support, e.g. invoke play from an iPhone or any other web enabled device.
| |
| * Apparently directories/files with "&" may not get a tick in the visited db. URL decoding?
| |
| * Make ticked directories become un-ticked when new files (unticked) files are added to the directory.
| |
| * Add NMJ sqlite DB support. Test MediaInfo source [http://www.lundman.net/ftp/test-mediainfo.c] is working.
| |
| * BUG: upnp missing filters/sortcriteria.
