Elisa Media Center
 Elisa is an open
source cross-platform media center solution designed to be simple to
use.
It can be used to watch video including DVDs with menu
support, manage a music collection, and view pictures with animated
slideshows.
The software automatically locates media stored on
network drives and detects IPods, cameras, USB hard drives.
It uses GStreamer, Python
and OpenGL technologies. Elisa is entirely modular, configurable and can be customized. A more
experienced user can adapt Elisa to his or her needs. It is designed to
be easy to extend using a plugin system.
Features include:
- Supports a wide range of media formats using the
GStreamer multimedia framework, including Ogg Vorbis, Ogg Theora,
Matroska, MPEG 2, MPEG4, Quicktime and Windows Media. Commercially
licensed plugins that work with GStreamer and Elisa are available
- DVD playback
- Supports playing music files and web radio
stations.
- Supports any remote control supported by the linux infrared
control project
- View photos and images for all of the common formats such
as jpeg and png. Elisa can also perform simple manipulation of images
including rotation of portrait pictures
- Supports DLNA compliant UPNP multimedia devices. This means
photos, music and videos shared from such devices are available in
Elisa. Elisa is also able to share its own files to UPNP
enabled
devices.
- Can act as a DAAP client to browse and play music files
shared on the network by iTunes, Banshee
or Rhythmbox
- Able to browse and display pictures shared on Flickr
- Fast scrolling bar, allowing you to quickly move across
large numbers of songs or movies to find the one you're looking for
