Review: SoundGraph iMon Ultra Bay

[ralphw]

Is there alternative software available for the SoundGraph (mine is an Antec version)

I love the VFD feature, but would like to find some open source utilities and other software to drive the thing from MythTV or Linux applications.

Since I had to remove my DVD-R drive to install the two-bay-high in my PC, I installed the software from the Antec web site.

The software is pleasant visually, but a tad confusing, especially as far as 'scanning' a directory. It would be nice if there were an presentation of all the settings, especially for folders that have been scanned.

This would allow one to determine how many videos, songs, and pictures are available for viewing

I have an iMon display in my media centre PC - it's actually stock in the case i used and I couldn't get along with the remote control. As it happens, the setup allows you to choose either the included remote or a geniune windows media centre remote and I've gone with the latter as I happened to have a spare media centre remote lying spare. Having said that, my Media Centre is just that - it doesn't do ANYTHING else - just sits in the bedroom so we can watch and record TV and stream movies from the server - for more general use, the iMon remote may be better suited as I see to remember it offering a virtual mouse/keyboard option - I have a genuine Microsoft Media Centre keyboard too, so that takes care of those functions.
