PC-Mac-Net FileShare
PC-Mac-Net FileShare v5.4 Turns Any PC Into A Remotely Controlled Media Center
Lava Software is now shipping PC-Mac-Net FileShare v5.4, a fast and efficient file sharing and remote movie and music playback controller which operates over LANs and the Internet. It can turn almost any old PC into a media center and file server. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS and Linux.
This new version includes remote file and folder searching (by any part or parts of a name, as well as by media type) and remote media player functions. Playlists containing a variety of media types can be created, and subsequent media playback can be controlled remotely over a wired or wireless LAN or over the Internet. A very wide range of media formats are supported by the bundled VLC player, such as MP3, Ogg, AAC, Avi, DivX 5, MPEG4, Quicktime, WMV2, Sorenson and H264. It is a free upgrade for all users.
The new remote media player functions allow users to convert any of their existing computer hardware (eg. an old Windows or Linux PC) into a media center and file server. Computers with TV out capabilities can be used as TV set-top boxes. Since PC-Mac-Net FileShare can also be used to upload and download media files over LANs and the Internet (even during media playback), hard disk storage requirements are minimal.
