Since I wrote the message quoted by Rudolf, I remembered the name of the app I was trying to think of: Rygel - http://live.gnome.org/Rygel aside from that, the 'market leader' is mediatomb, which I think we have in Fedora or RPM Fusion already. It has been able to do transcoding for a long time, and there's a big knowledge base out there on how to use it. I'm not entirely sure adding another packaged ps3-intended-UPNP-server would be a net win anywhere. (unless ps3mediaserver's implementation of on-the-fly transcoding lets you fast-forward and rewind. that'd be good. mediatomb can't do that.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
