Thanks for explaining that erland. I didn't realize the latency/sync would be an issue but in general I can see I was thinking a little backwards now :) alextab's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=619

With LMS you don't need DLNA for playing music files on another computer on your network. You can do that through network shares. Once LMS has scanned the files on the other computer, they appear and function exactly as if they were local files. As for games, Netflix, etc, I have no idea. -

What I want: A "music server" that connects to my audio system and plays both local media and streamed audio. And by this I mean: 1) Local media - stored on the music server and connect via file sharing. 2) Streamed audio - the audio from media played on computers that are NOT the music server.
