Apparently, N800 users can install a new version of Media Streamer (Higher than maemo version mediastreamer_1.1-2) which allows the N800 and Media Streamer to stream Video?

Here are two most recent quotes from Visa Smolander of Nokia when answering Media Streamer forum posts at maemo.org
Video streaming support (along with some other improvements) is now released in Tableteer for N800.

770 version coming "soon".
Hi guys,

Sorry about the long silence. I have been travelling, having Christmas holidays and being otherwise busy...

Here is a status update:

Media Streamer 1.2-11 was released in Tableteer for N800. It will not work properly in 770. Hopefully during the next couple of weeks we can bring 770 support into it as well.
So optimistically, a new Media Streamer release with video streaming support (& bug fixes) will be available for Nokia 770 users soon. Has anyone with a N800 tried the latest release of Media Streamer already?

What would be very useful from Nokia, is some form of release notes to clarify fixes and ability differences between the "Media Streamer Versions, N800 & Nokia 770" in maemo.org

Looking forward to further testing with TVersity

---edit--- PS I cannot see the Media Streamer update for Nokia N800 users in Tableteer with my Nokia 770, so imagine it must be a specific N800 view in Tableteer only? (Tableteer can only be viewed from a Nokia Internet Tablet?)

Can someone suggest a UPnP video server for linux? I tried gmediaserver but it seems to only support sound files not video.

Twonky, it's not free but not very expensive either?!

There is a 30 day free, but I also believe "time bound, works for 30 mins or something" test version to see if you like it etc. http://www.twonkyvision.de/Download/...dia/index.html

It's generally fine if AV media is already in the valid format/bitrate to stream to the receiving device.

I tried MythTV. Version 0.20 includes UPNP MediaServer profile. After fixing a small problem in URL escape character handling I was able to get it working with Media Streamer on N800 but unfortunately N800 does not support MPEG2 videos. To view anything on N800 I will have to transcode from MPEG2 (which my video card produces) to MPEG4.

I did not try the audio support.

Ah, you've solved the "Object not found" issue? Excellent.

Unfortunately, I've just switched back to Freevo, oh well ;-)
