[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 849353, member: 110423"] That is not completely true. If you have installed Windows 7 on your "server" than you can use the standard Windows Media Player to configure your Windows music library to stream over the LAN. You only have to set the "share" functionality in your media player in windows 7 and by "remote access" you are also able to control the music on your windows media player to play on your tv by some other device (i.e. your smartphone or something like this). [ATTACH]100206[/ATTACH] 1) Start your Windows Media Player 2) Click on Streaming in the upper icon bar 3) Click on Activate Media streaming ( or something like this... I only have the german version ) 4) To activate remote control for smartphones or other pcs click on (Activate remote control) That is almost all. You can also control which pcs may have access. Every data which is inserted into your Music / Video / Picture library in Windows 7 is shared to all upnp machines (pc / smartphone / tv) in your LAN / WLAN. You don't even have to run Media Player. It all runs in the background. :) Oh. There is something I forgot. There is also a MediaPortal UPNP Renderer Plugin which is able to render UPNP streams in Mediaportal.
