So I am search of a media > server that can transcode from native format to MPEG2 on the fly that > does not require a GUI. I'm experimenting with FreeNAS (FreeBSD? NanoBSD?), which uses Fuppes ("Free uPnP Entertainment Services") for on-the-fly transcoding (I'm streaming to a plasma tv from the FreeNAS box via an Xbox 360). It runs headless, although there's a webgui for configuration (FreeNAS and Fupples). Just mentioning in case any of the technology could be applied to your situation. Dale Okies well so far I have tried mediatomb, the TV sees the server but gives the same message as with ushare "this server does not support" be useful if it said what it didn't support but there we go. I will look at Fuppes tomorrow. As for ushare and multiple streams Carl, I played something on the xbox360 upstairs then tried the Philips streamium downstairs, it could not see the media server at all, was that what you were getting ? I will test it again tomorrow as this streamium bit of kit is quite old and fairly flakey in its operation. Regards Graeme
