I'm sure both support uPnP > I don't think this should be shouldered by freevo, as these devices > should come with media players and are build from the 2 most > successful GUI designers int he world right? ??? 2 most successful GUI designers int he world ??? And this has nothing to do with GUI. There are some simple uPnP calls and Freevo can announce the content of the hd to other devices. But if you only want that and use the GUI of the external box, a simple uPnP server for Linux is what you want. The problem with uPnP is not in Freevo yet is that it is bloatware: http over udp (*shiver*), xml, soap and other stuff to make it very complicated. > Does anyone know if there are ways to do this though?
