Media streaming

[Graeme Dargie]

Hello List,

 

I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a port that is capable of
doing media streaming to a LCD TV which is apparently DLNA compliant.

 

I currently have a FreeBSD 8.0 machine which runs ushare with all my
media on it, which works a treat with an xbox 360 and also (sorry)
windows client pc`s. The TV will see the ushare machine but reports
"this server does not support". According to Sony the TV supports MP3
and MPEG2 formats, so this is where ushare is falling down as I think it
serves up the media in its native format.  So I am search of a media
server that can transcode from native format to MPEG2 on the fly that
does not require a GUI.

 

Regards

 

Graeme
