First of all, congratulations on a beautifully simple media playback solution for the Roku! I already own an Apple TV hooked up to my HDTV, but I purchased a Roku 2 XS because I still needed composite video-out for my older TV's (showstopper for Apple TV). Anyway, very pleased to see my mp3/mp4 iTunes collection playing back as-is now through the Roku. The Roku and Apple sit side-by-side on the home theater shelf and look like twins.
I have one installation improvement suggestion (on Windows) - the standard Python 2.6 install associates python.exe with .py files, but also pythonw.exe with .pyw (the windowless version of python). So the best way to auto-launch a hidden version of python is to rename mymedia.py to mymedia.pyw, and create a shortcut to it in the startup folder. No need for the supplied .bat and .vbs launcher files. The shortcut also (by default) ensures the startup folder is the server folder (where mymedia.pyw lives).
And I have one support request. When you purchase iTunes music nowdays it is in unprotected .m4a format (which is actually just an AAC audio-only mp4 file). I verified this morning that Roku USB Media Player recognizes the .m4a extension and plays it correctly from a USB stick (including parsing the album/artist info), so this is a native Roku playback format (i.e. no need for transcoding because Roku natively supports AAC). It would be awesome if MyMedia would recognize .m4a file extension (it currently rejects them). Hopefully this is a configuration change somewhere?
Cheers
