I am afraid I do not have a definite answer for you. But let's try some comments:<BR/><BR/>I do not know the Denon system you mention, but from my experience all the "legacy" players lack good navigation software to browse the content.<BR/><BR/>Personally I opted for the Squeezebox / Logitech solution. The latest Duet is really what I like (<A HREF="http://headworx.slupik.com/2008/04/squeezebox-duet.html" REL="nofollow">http://headworx.slupik.com/2008/04/squeezebox-duet.html</A>)<BR/>and the quality is very good.<BR/><BR/>For movies (and pictures!) I use Sony PS3. Nothing better has yet emerged.<BR/><BR/>HTHHeadworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-1138416818144554762008-09-16T07:41:00.000+02:002008-09-16T07:41:00.000+02:00HI Headworx,<BR/>I am looking at adding a qnap NAS DLNA server. Denon ASD3W wifi DLNA for streaming audio to PRIMARE I21.<BR/>Now I was thinking if I can just plug a LCD screen for OSD as well as stream slide show while playing Audio? what do you think will be the way to do this? so taht I have a digital picture frame receiving slide show as well as music? do I need two such units? Other question is about using some of these DLNA compliant portable devices to scroll and choose music to play without having to go to the screen OSD? I don't want to have a TV in audio room, but a digital picture frame will be nice though. Any suggestions how to create that remote without buying SONOS system?<BR/>Thanks,<BR/>Jayeshjayeshhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15464628392847964143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-16599818695543403102008-03-04T06:12:00.000+01:002008-03-04T06:12:00.000+01:00Well... unfortunately there is no simple answer to that question...<BR/><BR/>Generally N800 has a good level of compatibility. Out of the box it can play music and picture slideshows from DLNA server. With movies there is MPEG4/DivX support, but the processing power seems to be not enough, so the frame rate you get from a standard content is very poor. Encoding the source to match the smaller screen helps as does installing some 3rd party applications. Unfortunately N800 still has some serious problems with memory leaks so this way or the other you may end up with a frozen screen after some time... Shame, as otherwise this would be quite a capable device...Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-10174569832377959112008-03-03T20:19:00.000+01:002008-03-03T20:19:00.000+01:00Just a curious question - does the Nokia tablet have good software to support DLNA video streaming? And if yes, what codecs does it support well, say Divx/Xvid? In my setup it would be used as an additional screen for viewing different video than the main projector is showing, lets say cartoons for kids.Šarūnashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12834666315813834757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-43219803702429609512008-03-02T10:00:00.000+01:002008-03-02T10:00:00.000+01:00Good to I can see the PS3, thanks to the DLNA support is going to many open environments, essentially being a bridge between storage devices and displays.<BR/><BR/>BTW there a many nice features coming up in the new Raidiator (the customized OS for the ReadyNAS). One of them is BitTorrent support. Here is the thread: <A HREF="http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16117" REL="nofollow">http://www.infrant.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16117</A>Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-34849801823466354412008-03-01T11:46:00.000+01:002008-03-01T11:46:00.000+01:00Hi,<BR/><BR/>I have a similar setup at home, with a few differences.<BR/><BR/>Storage server: Old laptop with Ubuntu. The linux box has 2 external 500 gig hdds connected, and since it is linux, it easily runs all the needed media server applications. <BR/><BR/>On the storage server I am running Slimserver+MusicIP, MediaTomb for DLNA streaming of music, video, and SAMBA for easy file access from other laptops. Of course, there's also bittorrent running on the storage box at nights. <BR/><BR/>Video: PS3 takes the video via DLNA from the storage server and feeds the video to overhead projector. Audio output goes to stereo system. <BR/><BR/>Audio: Squeezebox connected to high end audio system.Šarūnashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12834666315813834757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-51119916174210230932008-02-08T19:54:00.000+01:002008-02-08T19:54:00.000+01:00Hi, DLNA is an application - level feature. In Windows it is implemented in the Media Player. In Linux it needs a kind of a streaming DLNA service as well. The ReadyNAS (it is based on Debian) comes with one preloaded. And you may also have a look at the Twonky Vision DLNA server - it runs on just about anything.Headworxhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11659982647690284677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17540721.post-33402084811891128292008-01-28T00:50:00.000+01:002008-01-28T00:50:00.000+01:00Don't you know how different operating systems handle dlna? I'm interested in out-of-the-box functionality and especially in linux :)cenebrishttp://tomasz.cienciala.eu/noreply@blogger.com
