DLNA Support
DLNA -- while still in its infanacy stages is a very smart idea. It allows me to play MP3 stored on my computer on my TV, as well as pictures and movies (divx, xvid, H264, WMV and so on)
However, DLNA won't be just limited to computers or TVs... we'll see this in cameras, camcoders... possible steroes and sound equipment -- a bunch of stuff! and we should be able to manage and share our media using songbird using this method.
Best yet, DLNA is configuration free... so if its properly implelmented it just has to 'be there' and your library is 'shared' accross your network under the media server name "songbird"
Painless.

Inappropriate?Hello The Paradox2,
You are correct in the implemetation of DLNA and its scope of purpose, but however there are no DLNA Certified devices on the market with certified support for DivX, Xvid, and H.264. The DLNA Certified media profiles include MP3, many regional Quicktime codecs, Windows Media, and mobile formats like what you can watch on your iPod.
Right now, many of the devices are set-top boxes, network-attached storage (external hard drives), and printers. There is about one camera certified, and as far as I know, no camcorders thusfar. Sound equipment -- yes, and no. There are things on the market for wireless audio, both as a controller and player. A quick search on the DLNA website should do it.

In addition, yes, assuming your devices are interoperable in their capabilities, they will "just work" assuming your network topology is correct. Your possibilities will be limitless. Enjoy. :D
I’m excited to read your post.

Inappropriate?No, you're the one that is wrong. 1) Your videos stream with UPnP technologies. 2) Other DLNA Certified Media Formats play with DLNA technologies (with is part of a specification guideline which builds on top of UPnP). Trust me. Don't get mad at me, instead why don't you do some research of your own. I know this for a fact.
And, if you were really "sorry" about your post earlier, you would have deleted it. Nice going...
I’m indifferent.

Inappropriate?...alright... i see on the dlna.org site... after a read through, its on both UPnP and DLNA wikipedia pages as well.
"The UPnP AV standards have been referenced in specifications published by other organizations including Digital Living Network Alliance Networked Device Interoperability Guidelines[7], International Electrotechnical Commission IEC 62481-1 [8], and Cable Television Laboratories OpenCable Home Networking Protocol [9]."
Thanks for the correction. I thought i understood this stuff.
I’m a hot headed idiot?
