I am the proud owner of a PS3. :D
As my girlfriend says buying new devices is a vicious circle. :mad:
Since the PS3 could comunicate with DLNA service/software (twonky, tversity, nerohome, windows) I have been playing with this and have started to organise my video (DVD), music and photos. Currently support for file types and content is lacking and so i have been looking at digital media servers, thus the vicious circle remark ;)
.... that is a device that "will connect to my network" (preferrable not my computer as I do not want to have it always on, plus I know how to connect my computer to my projector) and then has a connection directly to my stereo receiver and/or projector. Result being high quality (up to HD picture and sound 5.1)
The D-link 520 looks like it plays most files and I think it now plays DVDs virtually (not sure about this) but how will it connect to the WL700g? Can such a device see my networked drives and simply play from them or does it need a server client to be given the files? I am currently playing with twonky and it looks good and there is a little bit of after sales service but it costs money.
So how do people do it?
PS: I know almost nothing about linux so I am not looking for the solution where I download this package and that the result here is that I pull my hair out and annoy you guys on the forum. I love plug and play.
