Hi there, I am working on creating a video player for sale. I am trying to find information on how to do the coding and some idea's and Crystal Shard Foo's Example has been my bible so far. But there are a few things I am looking to do that I do not know how to do and I was wondering if there was any resources...

1) Storage of movies is on my server
2) Item (Video Player) handles the catalog and the information
3) A tv unit actualy does the display...

So the Item (think of it as a DVD player) needs to pass info to the TV unit and this is the part that I have no idea how to do... To make it "Client/Server" so to speak...

Any resources for me to look into?

The TV can be totally dumb, it just needs to be set to the texture of the mediaURL
The DVD unit can then set the Media URL when ever a selection is made.
