linux media center: Elisa
preview 0.0.1 of Elisa - an opensource media-center developed by fluendo - was just released yesterday. Elisa currently offers a basic feature-set - playback of audio, photos and video using the GStreamer multimedia framwork, support for infrared remote-controls and support for DLNA-compliant upnp-devices. integration of TV-adapters and PVR-functionality (personal [digital] video recorder is planned but not implemented yet. the most shining aspect of Elisa is its (her?) beautiful 3D-styled user-interface, which can be watched in action on this screencast (Java required).
while Elisa is under development, I recommend checking out MythTV (Linux) or MediaPortal (Windows), both being established and well-supported opensource PVR/media center-solutions.
