I'm experimenting with FreeNAS (FreeBSD? NanoBSD?), which uses Fuppes ("Free
uPnP Entertainment Services") for on-the-fly transcoding (I'm streaming to a
plasma tv from the FreeNAS box via an Xbox 360). It runs headless, although
there's a webgui for configuration (FreeNAS and Fupples). Just mentioning in
case any of the technology could be applied to your situation.
