Media server and anyone got an old video card?

Okay.. my thought so far.

WTF?!?!?!?!

Could they make this install ANY LESS user friendly?

Actually, they probably could, they'd expect us to manually edit text files.
I know I'm a bloke and by definition I don't read manuals, but I'd just like to point out that in my opinion if the common human is expected to use software, they shouldn't have to.

I'm going to have to go off and find instructions on setting this thing up because its confusing the hell out of me. I think, vaguely, that I've got the main PC setup okay, but its just shoved me through some long winded web interface to set things up on it from my main PC rather than it and I'm not certain in the slightest whether its worked. Was I supposed to add the DVD device in the devices setup? If so how was I supposed to do that when its not in the hardware list? Graphics card? Sound Card? etc. etc. etc.
