I am wondering if anyone here is interested in building a program that can do something similar to this: http://myhtpc.net/

It is a Home Theater program for your computer. I have been looking for something like this for a long time to no avail on the Mac. How hard would it be to create something that would pull all of the media apps into one place? If anyone is interested in doing something like this I would be will to give some seed money to get it going.

Thanks!

why don't you list exactly the features you're interested in (like, instead of saying "I want a home theater app" say "I want an app that will play my movies on a TV screen and keep an internal database of every media file on my drive"). Because as you can see I'm probably misunderstanding the purpose of such an app. If someone were to take on this project for you, the first step would be conceptual, defining the exact functions it would perform, and you can get the ball rolling yourself by doing that. And even if no one wants to code it for you, chances are you can do most of it already with existing apps and maybe someone will point you to something you didn't know about. Either way, saying what you've tried and what it did or didn't accomplish for you is infinitely more meaningful than saying you've tried "everything" and it didn't satisfy (without revealing what "everything" is or in what ways it didn't satisfy your particular needs).

Thanks for the replies! Here is a better idea of what I was thinking of. I am looking for a program that can be used as a home theater app as well as an application that I can use in my car using a touch screen interface.

I am thinking of something that would pull together all of the media apps into one place such as a DVD player, .mp3 player, photo viewer, and possibly internet or something that could at least grab RSS streams.

An application that would organize everything into one simple to use interface. I was thinking it would be great if it could be completely customizable and moduler maybe even with a plug-in architecture. Here is another program that is similar http://www.mediaengine.org

So something that could be used as a media center in the house as well as a computer interface in the car. I know this is probably really ambitious but what do you guys think? Is there enough interest in doing this kind of app?

Thanks again for your replies!!
