If I shut down this PC My Media can't connect to the local media & I was asking since it's going to be in a channel form if something along that functionality was maybe going to be added.

Ideally I think I'm in agreement with RenoJim I don't mind running the python server from my desktop as my PC is a desktop/server/media center in one but however I'd like to be able to shut down my PC once in a while but still be able to get to my local media from the Roku using My Media. What I was thinking of was more along the lines of since it's going to be in a channel (being able to edit the config from the roku itself) form was the channel just being able to "automagically" connect to any NAS/shared drive specified on the same network as the Roku.

I think you wrote something about not needing to install Python eventually, so I'm curious as to what will replace it since Python is what makes the server cross-platform and so easy to set up. Will the new channel packaging allow you to manually edit the config and install the client from a headless NAS running the server? If not, will it still be possible to install and configure the client from a desktop system and then copy the server over to a NAS and run it there? I think that works, but I'm still using a NAS (old Linksys NSLU2) itself to run the pre-release MyMedia server and serve up content on the attached external hard drives, and I wonder if Gunslinger2's question refers to the same sort of setup. ^ Works just fine for me using the Seagate Dockstar Does it not work currently? I believe people have reported success in the past with setting their music directory to something like: \\myserver\share\music
