Smitten - A Media Centre

Smitten is a media centre application for playing movies, music, picture 
slideshows, and reading text on your TV or computer. 	

Smitten differs from traditional media centres in three major ways:

   1. It contains no media playback at all! This makes it very small 
	(and suitable for porting to embedded systems) and quick to initialize.
   2. It targets a TV display and interface. This means there's less 
	information on any particular screen, and a much simpler control 
	interface consisting of left, right, up, down, and select. No 
	mouse required!
   3. It is also highly skinnable, and cross-platform to most systems.

Essentially, Smitten provides an easy-to-use menu system that allows the 
user to navigate a hierarchy of files, and view them using an (external) tool.


After compiling/install, copy the platform-appropriate configuration file from
either:

config/main-linux.cfg  or
config/main-wintel32.cfg

to become

config/main.cfg

You should then be able to run Smitten from this directory, and browser to the
text folder (for example) to read this file.
