Re: MainLobby Ver 2.0

Hey Kevin,

While you may be testing the boundaries of what MainLobby was 
intended for, it could be possible when a socket server is working. 
I do plan to have some type of synchronization feature going.  So if
you press something on the webtablet, the htpc automatically moves to 
a specified screen or provides the status of lights among multiple 
clients. 

But again, depending on the application, it may be something that is 
provided in additional lobby products and written more specifically 
for those type of applications.

I would suggest downloading the trial and see what you can do with 
MainLobby as it exists today - then you'll realize the potential of 
this software as it goes through each revision.
