I bet you could make some serious moolah setting that kind of thing up for people.

What media center are you running that with? I have been trying to do something similar but havn't found an rss feed that I really like.

I haven't had a chance to play with it's tv server portion, but it's looking promising

Do you have media portal supporting mkv? Its been a royal pain in my ass getting it to work on any that I have been working with without having it transcoded on my server.

When mkv first popped up I was fucking pissed. It had almost no support and yet it was fucking everywhere.
(we are talking about the Matroska codec, right?)
