Premise "NetWatch" from Premise Automation Browser

[etc6849]

Does anyone know what the NetWatch icon does (found in the attached image from Rob's DVD Changer screenshot)...? I've circled the "NetWatch" folder in red.

Can I really play video content through Premise AB when I'm not at home?!?

Thanks in advance

PS: Rob's DVD changer module is found here if anyone is interested...

From Rob's readme. If anyone is interested, I can post both of these xdos... (they require scripttools and systools be installed first)

NetMonitor allows you to monitor the state of IP Network devices in your home. You can monitor them via Ping or URL. A URL can be either an HTTP or FTP site.


NetMonitor is the big brother to Netwatch. They are very similar except that NetMonitor uses bindable devices that can be scattered throughout the home. This module is was not created as an upgrade to Netwatch because some people may prefer Netwatch's method of grouping the devices in a single location.

re: Videos

I used to run videos locally (within my house). I haven't tried running them thru the AB outside of my subnet. And because I use the mini-browser almost exclusively, I created an iFrame for my Tversity server to do the same thing. (remote viewing and listening)

Thanks Chuck, I'll have to look into Tversity. I started to set it up a few years ago, but never did.
