Get what you pay for, free yahoo dvr tech
Yahoo released there free meedio player yesterday. In the eternal search for a better convergence mouse trap I gave it a whirl. Sadly it didn’t stack up very well to MCE or MythTV, though I think the music player was better then Myth. Not like that is hard to manage though.
No randomization options for photos (Uh, hello anyone awake there).
No transition effects
Very limited tuner support. Most tuners like dvico work fine through the generic window drivers with 3rd party apps, but for some reason the yahoo offering only has proprietary support for a couple tuners.
No sort albums
Under settings, there is no settings, just a links to various documents like the EUL, weird.
Worked fine with my stream zap remote but the menu structure lacks short cuts, I had to walk all the way back out of the file structure each time to go somewhere new… I might have missed somthing here but it seemed pretty kludgy to me.
It did work though, played music, pictures and divx files fine without effort. Still nicest thing I can say about it is that it’s free.
