FrontRow clone with DLNA-client support?

Sun Nov 11, 2012 11:14 am

Hi all

I purchased a Raspberry Pi to use as a streaming media client in the bedroom. I'm looking for a Media Centre that acts like FrontRow (on the Mac) which can access my DLNA server over WiFi. I'm specifically looking for something very simple and "lightweight", so that my partner can use it. It only needs to stream video content (no pictures/music), and I'd like to make the Pi boot straight to that app.

Suggestions?

Does a XBMC distro serve your needs ?

XMBC looks to be too comprehensive for my needs. I'm looking for something a little more lightweight.
