[QUOTE="Kolle, post: 143451, member: 17245"] Not sure I follow you in all the details there jaiume, BUT the main point which I agree with 100% is the "open the TVServer up to every video capable UPnP device out there". Although it is being discussed in a few threads already there seems to be a fair amount of misunderstanding re UPnP from perhaps more Hard Core HTPC people. I have seen several comments in the direction of "what do you need that for (UPnP AV), just connect the PC to the TV and off you go". The key here is to be able to have multiple TV Viewing points in the home without the need for PC's at each position. There is nothing wrong with HTPC's, they can look extremely nice and be totally quiet and offer complete flexibility with the ability to cater for other uses than TV/Video viewing of course, gaiming with the TV as the screen for example. But PC's require maintenance, and just the chassi of a quiet unit costs as much as a the cheaper complete UPnP AV devices around. Even the most expensive units with HD capability and HDMI connection are cheaper than a HTPC. Furthermore, I beleive a lot of people are already or will be using these UPnP devices for Video, Photo and Music Streaming, what's lacking is Live TV Viewing and MP Could be the ulitmate Server for this. As would Joost if they started supporting UPnP AV as well... [/QUOTE]
