Just seen your post in Media Streamer forum in Maemo.org and here in InternetTabletTalk

I can confirm that, when using MediaStreamer on my Nokia 770 as a controller to control my SL300i. I believe I have the same issue where after a period MediaStreamer on the Nokia fails to send the next audio track in the playlist (I think and just stops serving media to the SL300i, so the unit does not know what to do next. I agree Cidero on a laptop does not exhibit the same issue as quickly but if you leave it running a very long enough I believe it can?)

As we are waiting for an update to Media Streamer from Nokia which apparently fixes lots of little UPnP bugs as well as providing video streaming support I was waiting to see if this issue is resolved?

When you talk about your SL300i having a noisy fan and being poor at Video, I believe its because the fan is not providing the required cooling to the chips. (I cannot hear the fan, I have two SL300i's where the fan is very quiet even when up very close to the unit)

I agree the SL300i is not perfect, but I do use it for audio playback and XVID and DIVX Video streaming where I am satisfied that recognising it's AV format support and bitrate limitations it works very well, even over a Wi-FI (G) connection.

I use it almost exclusively now with the TVersity Media Server running on my XP PC. (As TVersity ensures Media is transcoded to a supported format/bitrate when required, slightly compromising quality but ensuring smooth video and Audio playback)

I am looking forward to Canola providing improved UPnP Playback support and hope that UPnP renderer control may be provided in a future release too.


---edit---Thinking about it a little bit more, you never lose Wi-Fi connection as well? Did you set your Nokia N800 and the SL300i with fixed IP's on your network?

Oh and I also forgot to mention...

I use Twonky as it makes use of the album art stored with all my mp3's and presents the covers when a track is being played.
I use TVersity to stream my camera pictures as it transcodes them to a size that Media Streamer and Nokia 770 accept without problems
