Intro to my LMCE setup

I started playing around with the idea of LMCE late October of 2008. Mainly I just started putting the pieces together in my head and taking an inventory of all the spare pc's I had laying around in my house. I was previously using Windows MCE and a program called My Movies to catalog and play all my dvd's. I ran into a few issues I didn't like, one being I couldn't play dvd's through my system on my xbox, and also it was just a media center which offered no home automation. I have been wanting to experiment with home automation for a while but didn't want to shell out the big $$$ as it was more of a want than a need. So enter LMCE, a piece of free software that is highly configurable, and can bet set up to work with almost any pc laying around not being used. I watched the video and was immediately hooked, everything I wanted and I could get the basics up and running for free. I started out just running it on 1 pc as a core and have since added on multiple MD's. This will serve as a "documentary" of my experience.

Fourth Header

The headings will be put into a table of contents at the top, but only when the page has 4 or more section headers (nested or not).

• This is an unordered (bullet) list.
  • These can also be nested

1. This is an ordered (numbered) list
   1. I think these can be nested as well
   2. They can
2. Next ordered (numbered) list
   1. Nested
   2. Nested

This will be indented

Indented more

Lines starting with a space will be "preformatted", and placed in one of those typical dotted boxes.

Italic text

bold text

italic and bold

Urls are automaticly recognized, but there are more possibilities. For example: http://some.domain/page.html shows the URL 'as is' [1] shows up as an increasing number alternative text shows up as "alternative text"

other wiki page link to other_wiki_page, shows as "other wiki page" alternative text link to other_wiki_page, shows as "alternative text"

this will stop the wiki from applying formatting, useful if you don't want url's turned into links for instance: http://some.domain/page.html

Alternatively you can also use the standard HTML tags.

Third Level: You unnest by removing one level of equal signs
