surround sound
Ok so i'm Running a ReadyNas ultra 6 fully up dated & here is what i would like to do....
i would like to store my music libary on my NAS but stream selected songs/playlists to my ps3 as this is connected to my surround sound system, if its possible i would like to use my laptop (wireless) as a sort of remote/jukebox.
are there any such add-ons for the NAS that will be picked up via the ps3 & controled via my laptop?
hope that makes sense.

- The streaming part can be done by ReadyDLNA on the NAS. But the controlling bit might be a bit of a problem, I'm not sure if the PS3 supports this, and you need a UPnP/DLNA Controller to do this on your laptop.
So you would have 3 things:
DLNA Server (ReadyNAs with ReadyShare)
DLNA Client (PS3)
DLNA Controller (some program on your laptop)
I'm doing this at home for video with my own NAS, TV as client and my android tablet as the controller. Skywarp wrote:

Windows Built-in WMP 11 & 12 for example supports DLNA... ;)
Also many Linuxes provide Banshee which works fine with plugin, not sure about MacOS solutions though...
