Hi

I'm confused on how you would get this to work with Linux.

I thought you could just use gmediaserver on Linux with the 770. But it looks like you need to run a media server and renderer/ player before it can be used with the 770? So gmediaserver and gmediarender? Is that right?

Cheers
Rich

Okay, GMediaServer can be used by Media Streamer on the 770 without anything extra. GMediaRender implements the server component that provides UPnP controllers [like Cidero] a means to render media content (audio, video and images) from a UPnP media server [such as GMediaServer]. So, using Cidero with GMediaRender provides the same solution as the 770 Media Streamer on a Linux PC.

All you need is GMediaServer [or other UPnP server software/hardware] to work with the 770 Media Streamer.

The Nokia 770 Media streamer is a UPnP Player and/or a Controller.

As a player on the Nokia 770 you can use it to play music served by a UPnP Server. (So in this case just something like gmediaserver running on a Linux box)

As a controller on the Nokia 770 you can use it to play Music, Videos and Pictures on a hardware Media Player that supports AV for example the Philips SL300i (So in this case both gmediaserver & gmediarender are being considered and Media streamer will sit in the middle and control events)

Good News, TVersity released a new Version yesterday V0.9.8.1 which works with Media Streamer. www.tversity.com

Media Streamer team have also now made sure that Media streamer is available form Maemo.org as some of us found it difficult to access latest version via the Nokia 770 Application Manager and the package update methods.

Current version can be found at https://garage.maemo.org/projects/mediastreamer/

Please note: Currently Media Streamer V1.0-8.2 only supports audio playback on the Nokia 770, but you can also use Media streamer as a controller to control a UPnP Player such as the Philips SL300i (Where you then have the Audio, Video and Picture playback control capabilities from Media streamer )

apparently microsoft has released their own uPNP server software called Windows Media Connect 2.0 seems to do the job as well. I've had little success with the Philips Media server for OSX but eyeConnect seems to work well.

Now all we need is to have nokia finish up the program to stream video and pictures as well

I am available for testing ANY betas of Media Streamer released to Maemo.org, I am well impressed with the capabilities of mediastreamer_1.0-8.2.

FYI: MythTV just added UPnP server capability for TV and Music streaming in their latest release.

http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php...e_Notes_-_0.20

I haven't tried it yet. Just thought I would pass on the pointer to those interested.

Many Thanks to MikeL for working with the guys at TVersity to get their free server software working for us Media Streamers. It will be great once Media Streamer works for video.

Now I just have to work on his Hamachi notes to make my secured system work worldwide.

Thanks again MikeL
