Yes, the Slimserver workaround is good, but it does only do audio.
For my DivX media player (Buffalo Linktheater) there are a number of streaming applications available for the PC. One of which is installed on my Server.
This streaming media server, streams video, audio and photos to my Linktheater.
I have been unable to get it to work with my 770. When you click on a link in the media browser web app, you get a text string of the form:
2001%20a%20space%20odyssey|0|0|http://192.168.0.20:8000/action/playvideo.jsp?id=0&ext=.avi|
if you paste the http... string into a PC (or 770) media player, it downloads the whole file before playing, rather than treating it as a stream :-(
This is clunky, OK for pictures and annoying for mp3s, but is impossible for films.
Has anybody got the 770 working with a media streamer? e.g. EZLink or MediaLink?
Thanks
Jon
