UPnP, anyone?
UPnP, anyone?

It doesn't appear the author searched very hard for a digital media adapter that can talk to a Linux server. Most DMAs today use UPnP to access content, and since UPnP is a four-year-old open standard, of course there are Free implementations. GMediaServer, for one.

I tried the D-Link media player, supposably using UPnP standard, and no Linux app was able to send files to it, especially the gmedia server you mention.It didn't take me too much time to return that machine and continue to use my Linux box instead as it's still way easier to configure than trying to get the DLink to work.
