Media server for DVDPedia

Hi,
DVDPedia already knows were all my video files are and it has all the information about them, it is very well placed to serve them in a media server. Also, it would be nice to be able to access them from the iPhone where ever you are (from pocketPedia?).
I am about to buy Tonido or Air Play (I cannot make up my mind) but none of them can have the power that DVDPedia could have, as I already have all my media in DVDPedia.

Please think of creating this as a different program integrated with DVDPedia or as a plugin or a new version of DVDPedia. I would pay for it and I think that many people would.

Thank you for the feedback. I been hoping for Apple to extend their Air Play API to the Mac from iOS as to make feature easier to implement. Currently on the Mac a developer has to write their own streaming solution.

I am no expert, but VLC has changed the license of libVLC to LGPL and it may have the functionality that you are looking for. I think that LGPL would let an external program use the library without needing to change its license.

Thank you for the tip. VLC is a great project, I'll look at the source and see what options they are.
