serviio on the nas will let you stream a whole host of content. it's a briliant little java based DLNA media server. I use it with no problems at all and it constantly gets updates with new features and lots of contributers and testers. I use it on my synology direct to my samsung tellys, but...

if you know the ip address of your router you could open a terminal window on your macbook and type ping <ipaddressofrouter> ie ping 192.168.1.254 [return] on a macbook that'll continusously ping your router (ie send a network packet and then acknowledge reciept of it - bit like throwing a...

no worries. would be really interested in what you think.

yeap i'd also recommend you install serviio on your synology and give it a whril with your sony bluray...i use serviio and my brother uses it for all his sammy TV's - it really does work a treat - the help & support on the forums is brilliant, too.

can't really comment on a direct comparison of the Rega compoments but i'm an owner of AVI ADM 9T's (non red spot). I had an arcam a90 and CD192 plugged into a set of Acoustic Energy AE1 classics. I was very happy with them but since i moved into a house i realised i wanted to easily move my...

cheers, joe - yeah used to use plex server and client on my macbook plugged into my telly for a year or so. Was really interested to see the client on the samsung so I installed it a while back when it first came out using my macbook as the server and it works a treat. However its not really...

Hi All Just logged on here and found this old post is alive and well, so as the OP I thought i'd do an update. I disabled the media player on the Synology NAS and installed a DLNA server called Serviio - great support, forums and profiles. I did this as my research showed the DLNA server...

Cheers - good to know you've got successful use. I've actually persevered with the Samsung Series D Telly connected to an open source DLNA server called Serviio running on my Synology DS212j NAS and I have to say I've managed to iron out some initial issues I've been having. I need to test a...

I was looking around last night and stumbled across that article but I was mindful of the fact is was getting on for 4 years old so wondered if things had moved on from then - clearly not. Anyway cheers for all info - I think I need to find an alternative. All very confusing as I really like...

Cheers Andy. Yeap just had a look around there - its a very non-specific...can't find anything which says what files / codecs / versions devices to support to be certified. I've even tried googling for a compatibility list - nothing. For example - I know my xbox is fully DLNA certified - but...

Hi Hope this post is in the right place to be seen by the right people - did put it in the home cinema bit but i don;t think it was in the right place - wasn;t sure what to file it under. I'm rennovating my house and it looks like i'm going to lay some CAT5 ethernet cables in a lot of rooms...

ah my mistake - jumping the gun a bit there - the hargreaves report is what i meant, but yes its expected all recommendations in this report will be endorsed by the Gov't soon.

Hi All Looking for a bluray player with a proven track record in playing H264 Mkv's - some high def (could be 10g+) some standard def, some with Standard DTS sountracks, some just with Dolby digital sound tracks. Ideally they would play via an external USB drive or USB stick into a USB port on...

Thanks for the reply Tino. It was good to know about other bluetooth dongles as well. Anyway for info and for anyone else reading this I took the plunge on a BTD 300 non ipod specific one and it works extremly well with the ipod whilst out and about. Couldn't tell the difference between the...
