Networking home entertainment

[cryowizard]

Hooked up my new TV via network to my PC running a DLNA-compliant media server (TVersity Media Server, if you care) and now I can watch movie files, listen to music and view photos on a high definition 1920x1080 50" screen. Sweet.

А поделись идеей? (Желательно с техническими подробностями), а то ко мне жаба заходит почти ежедневно, и напоминает о том, что моя расточительность меня погубит... Компутер к телеку, говоришь, подключить? В общем, я вся внимание.

My TV has a built-in uPnP client they call Home Media Network. Apparently, my BluRay DVD player does too. Pioneer just networks everything these days.

The client allows you to hook up a regular ethernet cable to the TV or player and it can stream data from any uPnP-compliant media server it finds on that network. In this case I simply run TVersity on my PC, it indexes any music, photos and videos from the directories you tell it to, and that's it -- TV can can see it and play it over the network. It's not the same as simply hooking up the PC to the TV via AV inputs. It all networked, baby :)

So check your TV if it has an ethernet jack in the back. If not -- sorry :)
