Adelaide, SA (PRWEB) January 20, 2006 -- Lava Software is now shipping PC-Mac-Net FileShare v5.5, a fast and efficient file sharing and remote movie and music playback controller which operates over LANs and the Internet. It can turn almost any old PC into a media center and file server. Versions are available for Windows, MacOS and Linux.

This new version allows one computer (such as a laptop) to simultaneously control movie and music playback on multiple remote computer on the web over wired or wireless LANs or the Internet. It also offers instant playlist creation, the display of music track title, artist and album information, superfast workgroup reconnection, significant fixes in the remote media player functions, full compatibility to MacOS X 10.2 and 10.3, and large file support (>2GB) on Linux. A very wide range of media formats are supported by the bundled VLC player, such as MP3, Ogg, AAC, Avi, DivX, MPEG4, Quicktime, WMV2, Sorenson and H264. It is a free upgrade for all users.

PC-Mac-Net FileShare provides the functionality to convert existing computer hardware, such as an old Windows or Linux PC, into a media center and file server. Simply install PC-Mac-Net FileShare on the designated media computer and place it near a TV and sound system for easy video and audio connection. Then use another computer, such as a laptop, to remotely control on the web the software playback of music and movies. Typical applications include piping movies to childrens’ rooms, playing movies and music on the TV in the loungeroom, and managing music for a party. Online software for on-demand pc remote control over the Internet can be found at For Remote Support.

Rather than recycling an old PC into a media center computer, users can build a new computer using budget on-demand remote support software PC components from a local PC store, or purchase a complete low-end system from a catalogue. Only a computer box with a TV output is required - no monitor, keyboard or mouse. Since a version of PC-Mac-Net FileShare is also available for Linux, there is great flexibility when choosing a budget packaged PC for a media center computer.
