Streaming from a uPnP server to another computer over LAN

Question

I set up MediaTomb on my ubuntu 9.10 computer and it streams to our ps3 perfectly. Now I am wondering what the easiest way to stream it to other desktops/laptops over our home network?

Answer 1

MediaTomb is a UPnP AV MeidaServer. Any player that supports the UPnP standard and the video types that you are serving should be able to play them over your home network. Wikipedia has a list of UPnP AV clients(AKA control points). A few include:

• Windows Media Player 11
• foobar2000 with the foo_UPnP plugin.
• Rythmbox
