First of all - thank you for your time and patience - really appreciated! But still - not completely clear => some more questions. :-)

To my knowledge, LMS is DLNA compliant. Right? Suppose I would have a TV that is also DLNA compliant and is equiped with control point software, than the combi (LMS & TV) would bring me browsing and playing sound and video. Right? With this use-case scenario in mind and assuming that I'm overlooking something: what is the value of Whitebear?

No further questions here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ NogNeetMachinaal's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=49531 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=90842 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
