It seems that there is still so much to be done to realize all this potential. Next thing i want to do is start taking my movies and start importing them into something (iTunes) and start viewing them on my TVs and such. Real exciting stuff here…
Any suggestions on things I can start looking at with these new things to start getting more out of what i have? Suggestions about where this is going, and such?
The AppleTV is worth looking at if you use iTunes as a server. Won’t stream from a firefly server (drm again…).
A modded XBOX running xbox media center is a nice TV hub also. Check that out — read up on it. I use it a *lot* as a media player.
At some point (soonish) I hope to have a upnp front-end for this thing to play media that way, but will probably be at least a month.

If DRM is not an issue (IE, a third party utility imports my DVD to itunes, then it should not be a problem?
Not sure which you mean. Firefly will now serve mp4 video to itunes or frontrow, but it won’t serve to appletv, as appletv uses a crypto handshake to make sure it’s talking to iTunes and not a 3rd party daap server.
