Hi,
I am looking to start "streaming" music from my PC to my blue-ray player, to a PC outside my network, to my Android device, and possibly to one or more devices (Roku style, but not necessarily Roku brand). I have a lifetime Media Monkey license, and started with it for this project. There are, however, two things I can't seem to do with it. I want to know if MC can do these things:
1. Stream to a client on the outside world. MM is supposed to be able to do this, but I haven't been able to get it working, despite work on port mapping and the like. Here's what I want -- to sit at my work PC and stream music from my home machine. Can MC handle this WITHOUT any firewall changes? Similar to what Plex supposedly does with MyPlex? What PC client would I use in this case?
2. Stream a radio feed to a DLNA client. This is not a feature MM has. In particular, I want to be able to stream this to my DLNA-enabled blue-ray player:
http://vpr.streamguys.net/vpr96.mp3. Can MC do this?
I'd love to hear from anyone who has switched from Media Monkey. I've used it mainly to rip, organize, store, and play my music files (mainly in FLAC format), and it has been great for that. But the need to get music anywhere and everywhere has me considering other options.
Thanks,
Eric Hart
