Videobox is a remote controlled Windows Media Player.
EditBy: Videobox is a remote controlled Windows Media Player. It can be controlled with the bundled Windows Remote Control application over TCP/IP but its main purpose in life is to be controlled from a Squeezebox or SliMP3 device through a Slimserver plugin.

Just add a way to get your PCs Video & Audio signals to your living room TV set to transform your Squeezebox into a Video Player. There are many wired and wireless methods to achieve that. See below for some links.

Videobox Player can play AVI & MPG files as well as live Windows Media video streams, this gives you access to a number of channels that you couldnt have watched otherwise. These video streams usually look a lot better on your TV than they would on your PC.

With a TV modulator and multiple Squeezeboxes you can watch and control your Videobox Player from anywhere in the house.
