Just to throw in my twenty two cents, minidlna makes for a good
media streaming platform, it works with the Xbox360 flawlessly, and can
handle any upnp/dlna aware device very nicely, this includes a growing
list of BluRay players, DVRs, as well as most self respecting media
players of all OSes. It's supposed to work well with the PS3 but I don't
own one, so I can't speak on that.
I also run subsonic and icecast with great success Subsonic was
brutally easy, Icecast, you have to feed it the stream, I use ices to
serve the playlist content to the icecast server. When it comes to
in-LAN media streaming, I'd recommend giving minidlna a whirl, once
catch is, it uses inotify to update it's changes, this doesn't work on
NFS or other network mounts. But in those cases, you can set up a
midnight cron to update it's library, or, just run minidlna on the host
of the drive itself and let inotify do the work, and the host stream
everywhere...
