DLNA

I just discover this new acronym, DLNA. It stands for Digital Living Network Alliance. It is all about scharing audio, video and images through a local network. This sounds very MicroContent-like. The idea is that a DLNA-server can publish these MicroContent types towards DLNA-clients. And that is how I discovered. The latest upgrade of the Playstation 3 sofware, version 1.8, contains a DLNA-client.

So I started right away looking for a server that would publish these MicroContent types on my Mac to the world. And there does not seem to be much. I found TwonkyMedia by Twonky Vision. It seems to work reasonably, I can not see all file types, but that seems to be a problem of the PS3. STill have to investigate a bit further. Installation is very simple and configuration does not seem necessary.

I wonder whether DLNA can be extended to other MicroContent types?
