A question for you technical experts out there:
I am looking for a way to stream media from a media server on my network to my PC/laptop over my network. Is there a free software package out there that allows this?
My setup is as follows:
DNS-323 NAS box with built in UPnP media server/iTunes server
All files are stored on the DNS-323
My PS3 streams from the built in UPnP server no problem.
My iTunes accesses the built in iTunes server no problem.
However I am starting to convert to .flac for audio files and of course iTunes does not support this. So I am looking for a software based media client that can tap into the generic UPnP media server functionality for easy access to ALL of my media files. That way I can eventually ditch iTunes and all of its limitations.
I can just 'brute force' point to specific directories on my network to get files to play with VLC or some other generic media player, but that does not provide the more elegant functionality of a client that accesses the cache of all artists, formats etc...
Thanks in advance for any advice!
Edit - Ooops, should have mentioned this is for Windows XP.
