Best streaming applications (for me)
At some point I thought I'd share the set of streaming apps I'm running on my pro-6 just to get feedback and in case it might help someone else. I'm running and actually using all of the following: ...
On my Ultra4, i still use only ReadyDLNA, Plex didn't work for me. I don't have a player for it, and the feature i wanted (remote acces) didn't work.
On my TV (Pana VT30), ReadyDLNA has a problem with ordering (the TV doesn't have any option of ordering and everything is ordered by date...).
Fortunatly, my ISP provides me with a player which plays everything (except ISOs).
About transcoding :
Except for few cases, what we really need isn't transcoding, but transmuxing (mkv to m2ts, etc.). Transmuxing doesn't change the codec (h264), it only changes the encapsulation, which is, most of the times, what is only needed (as does tsmuxer).
