RE: DLNA servers on Windows was Network media player

["John B" <home-automation@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

On the subject of DLNA players such as the Sony one that Dom mentioned,
wha=
t DLNA server software are people using on Windows these days?

I'm pretty new to DLNA so would be interested to know what works and what
d=
oesn't.

My server is Windows Server 2008 R2 - I've heard that Windows Media Player
=
12 includes better DLNA support - anyone used it?

Not looking for any kind of transcoding as my server is pretty low spec.

Thanks,

John

Got to be my Sony BD-S370 - best =A3100 (Tesco!) I ever spent:
- Blue ray disk
- DLNA (playing films via 'minidlna' on linux)
- USB ports front/back, 500mb+ FAT formatted disk support.
- iPlayer, plus a whole load of other direct-online content.
- 'Full-length', but short depth & height
- looks like I spent =A3400, not =A330 (unlike WDTV)

Avoid the less capable, but =A320 more, BD-S360, that is often sold
side-by=
-side.  Don't confuse with the LG-S370, which is also said to be good.
