Hi all,

as my beloved n900 crashed and now fails on gsm features, I bought a Samsung Galaxy S2 (yes, I know, android is much worse than maemo). Now I'm thinking about using my N900 as server and audio center. I found out, that the SGS2 has a DLNA feature to push some Music to "certified TVs". Is it possible, to use this with the n900? I know, that the maemo music player supports dlna, but its only browsing on the dlna server directionaries. I'd like to select my music on the SGS2 and use the "dlna play to" feature to push it to the n900.

If this is not possible, I would need to use VNC to conenct on the n900 and use the media player. Or is there a player like vlc for the n900, which has remote features.

Questions upon questions, has someone any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I suggest you go for a Rasberry Pi and install XBMC on that.

Its very cheap too.

Minidlna in extras-devel enables your N900 as a DLNA server.

Let us know if you find solution, I have looked around but not found anything satisfactory.

I use N800 with audio connected to amplifier as music player. However, I have not found software which would act as DLNA media renderer in Maemo. I'm using VNC like you described.

You might want to look at the "Zhaan" for n900, there are interesting features. But it won't work together with my Sony television. I use Mediabox, it has DLNA features also.
