This sounds...a lot like konqueror...although I think the music/movie parts of it are a little harder to find.

If I coded this, I'd use songbird as the base, and simply add a filemanager, picture and movies extension. Easy

I do agree an all in one photo, video and music application could be a very good idea. Last I checked, konquerer could preview and such, but didn't really excel at it.

But especially combining a file browser into an audio apps could change the way you manage your library.

+1

A great advantage of this is easy integration of IR remote control in system.
There is MythTV with all these functions... But it is huge, and I can't start it at all...

i disagree with poster.

It would be much better if programs only tried to do one thing and do that one thing damn well rather than to try to be some ultimate solution to every problem there is.

@herma Winamp, Windows media centre, and other such programs have proven otherwise already I'd say..
