when i try to use zhann on the n900 it doesnt even show the n900 content,just a windows pc and my synology NAS and it wont show/display ANYTHING,not even a jpeg.
the viera displays most content when i use the eee pad and the same amount when i use the vieras poor inbuilt media player so know they are not an issue.
zhann appears to do exactly what the eee pad does and what i require,its just a shame that something along the line doesnt quite work
i guess its not a huge issue as i can easily access the nas to the screen via the eee,ps3,xbox or the tv direct,would have just been nice to be able to do the same with the 900..
also,the only one out of all the above devices that allows a track to continue playing while you peruse your next choice is th xbox 360,how can they get it so right and everyone else fails!

btw the N95 did this perfectly (when WMP wasn't eating up all cpu or just not responding)
My apologies ; I didn't realise you intended your N900 to be serving the content. No - the N900 would probably struggle. It could work ; pre-reqs are ffmpeg and Java SE (the latter is possible via jumping through hoops, pulling knobs, bells and whistles as documented elsewhere on talk.maemo.org) but it would probably be an unpleasant experience.
Zhaan allows you to specify both a DLNA server and DLNA client (both of which can be local or remote and all combinations in between).
*edit*
Although from your previous issues, it appears that the issue may be with Zhaan if you are indeed able to use your Eeepad to control the DLNA request.
I'm guessing what you need, in order to play your content, is to transcode the intended file into a container and codec(s) that your telly is capable of rendering.
Have you tried plugging the N900 in via USB and playing back content locally (although this may not prove anything as - for example - the Bravia playback abilities differ over USB than they do over DLNA
