+ - Ask Slashdot: How do I make my own hardware multimedia player?

Submitted by Anonymous Coward
An anonymous reader writes "I was looking at multimedia players such as SumVision, Noontec and Western Digital. They all seem to be some device which accepts a USB hard-drive, commands from an IR remote control and throws the result over HDMI. I have my own idea of what a hardware multimedia player should do (e.g. a personalised library screen for episodes, movies and documentaries. Resume play. Loudness control etc..). I also think it will a good programming adventure because I will have to make the player compatible with more than a few popular codecs. Is this an FPGA arena or a mini-linux tv-box? Any advice, books or starting point? Thanks."
