I've used the Mediatomb DLNA server in the past to stream media to my PS3. Works well, easy to config.<br><br>-dc<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jan 10, 2012 at 11:17 AM, Claus <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cniesen@gmx.net">cniesen@gmx.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Anyway, I came across "DLNA compliant" with some of the feature. I don't know anything about that but apparently it allows one to watch videos from a DLNA server that resides at home.<br>
<br>
Are there *nix DLNA servers and are they simple to deploy? Also are there any kind of content restrictions (i.e. some digital rights management)?<br>
<br>
Currently I have a smb server where I store mp3 that I have ripped from CD and a variety of home videos in various formats (avi, mpeg-2, etc) that I watch on the computer on occasions. I could see it being nice to view them on the TV as well. But I don't have time for a major tinkering project.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
