RE: Re: Basic questions about "video streaming"

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using "My Lil Movies Jukebox" - I did try YAMJ and that
was fine but
MLMJB is better - it does need "MovieCollectorz" (which is a pay
for bit of
software) and although the author of MLMJB doesn't cripple the app or
charge
for its download he does say that he wants a contribution for it (which
seems fair)...
