    that's exactly what i would be interested in (should i ever get an N900). my set top box for digital cable tv turned into a upnp client overnight via a firmware update, so i'm suddenly learning the delights of upnp.

    so did i understand it correctly that the N900 will need 3rd party software to act as a server?
    what needs more resources, being client or server? in other words: could be expect the N900 to be a good server?

    Well apparently my N95 8GB is supposed to be capable of streaming photos (and music i think!) to my PS3, but I can never get it to work!

    Given that others have however, i'd expect the N900 to be ok at streaming, but not transcoding (not a problem since the camera records video in a PS3 supported format I think, therefore, no transcoding needed)

    transcoding video is out of scope here. i'm sure i'll find a format that both the N900 and the set top box can handle.

    the fact that some existing S60 device can act as a server doesn't say much about the N900, though. there's a lot S60 can do that maemo 5 can't. yet.

    As long as trancoding isn't involved, a UPnP server is technically not much more than a specialized HTTP webserver. The N900 could easily handle that.

    With Fremantle, yes. But Rygel is explicitly developed with Harmattan in mind, so chances are good it could be made to work relatively easily.

    Hi,

    Rather than starting another thread (and since this is very loosely related) I thought I'd post this here.

    Firstly, does a standard Universal Remote app exist for Maemo (that could be ported to N900)? It'd be nice to use the IR to control the TV and SkyHD box, and set up macros like the fancy logitech Harmony remotes.

    Also, whilst searching for this I came across a thread about using the Bluetooth in an N800 tablet, to control the PS3 (obviously not games, but media). Does anyone know if this'll be possible at some point (especially with Logitech now being able to control the PS3, the codes must be easier to "get a hold of")?

    For your first question, search for irreco - there is an N900 version in testing, although the user-interface needs some love. For the second, BlueMaemo - which I believe is also in testing for N900.

    i can only hope the functionality is more user friendly than what is currently available from Nokia's N95 when streaming from source to phone.. - "connection failure" happens more often than not and then 90% of the time wont find the "source" again... and to play a song is only done thru the "home media" icon,(not the media player) and you have to choose 'options' 'play from device' for every song... - not very nice

    Seen this: http://live.gnome.org/Rygel/N900 ?

    With the new software upgrade (PR1.1), you should not need to use the rootsh and you can just download it through the application manager.

    HI guys, just ran into some trouble trying to install this from terminal.
    Installation pretty much didn;t work returning some errors. Main question is now i have like 5 new additions to catalogues applications, being:

    deb http:.....etc
    deb-src http:..etc
    apt-get update
    done
    exit

    I can't seem to delete these new items. Would anyone know how to delete these items using terminal, as I can't seem to do so using application manager, and its return an operation failed when updating.

    Thanks in advance
