Hi stew-b. I've never heard of this "play to" feature but I'm guessing it's based on DLNA. With DLNA you can select your N900 media files from the DLNA certified TV so it's more "play from" than "play to" but it still achieves the same thing. You can set your N900 as a DLNA server here

i dont think this is possible yes,you can make the 900 appear as a dlna server but i still have to use the eee pad to play it to the tv.
this is the eee pad play to option im talking about,guess its an android thing

zhaan is media controller for N900. I use it from time to time, but looking at Android/iOS world it could be better....

PS3Mediaserver was working great for a while, but I ran into issues with metadata refreshing. In the end, I moved to Serviio (http://www.serviio.org/) which does the whole job with the minimum of fuss (even copes admirably with my 360).
This should sort out your cannot read file issues, assuming the issue is codec-related.

firstly,i have no idea what technology it is using to be able to do this? and secondly and more importantly,can my n900 do it??
the asus works extremely well doing this but one feature it doesnt allow is to search for another track whilst playing one,it simply ends the song,would be awesome if the 900 could do both...
heres hoping you guys know of something that enables this on my beloved n900
