I'll look into the PS3 Media Server. I've tried Plex, but it's a hit or miss. Sometime's it'll show up in my DLNA list and sometimes it won't. Right now I have XBMC loading my movies, so when I get home, I'll try that out. Only thing I don't like about it is, I can't have it loaded 24/7 due to it having to take up the whole computer screen.

I'm also going to try Playback, but that only plays OSX media files and .mkv isn't one of them.

There is a plugin for XBMC that allows it to connect to Plex. Plex is probably the best solution.

Hi, trying to do something seemingly simple. Display iPhoto albums from our iMac (v10.7.5) to our TV via a DLNA-enabled Sony BluRay dvd player (BDP-S790) for a party. I've installed Plex on the Mac, and am able to see the Media Server on my TV, navigate to the iPhoto files, but when I click to open an album, get an error "cannot connect to server." Tried the Plex help chat room, but they pointed me to DLNA forums. Any ideas? Thanks

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
