A DLNA-compliant media service, powered by UPnP, which provides access to multimedia content on an array of home entertainment and portable devices.
If you have a device capable of receiving media streams from DLNA-complaint servers, Wild Media Server is a commercial option you might be interested in trying out. It essentially provides users with a route to broadcast and stream their audio and video media files to devices in your home or over the web.
Currently, Wild Media Server supports several different types of devices, some currently being Sony Bravia TVs, TVs by other brands such as (Samsung, Philips, Sharp and more), Sony Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 consoles and mobile devices such as the iPhone/iPad or Android-powered hardware.
The software includes a transcoder which provides your device with the correct format which it can playback. This makes playing usually unsupported video/audio formats your devices possible. WMS also supports TV Capture cards and can stream DVB-C, DVB-S and DVB-T streams right to your television, console or Android-powered mobile phone.
As an additional bonus, Wild Media Server will fetch data about your media from the relevant online databases such as the IMDB/TheMovieDB/TheTVDB which gives you relevant information about the media it has discovered on your PC hard drive or network drives.
