I am looking for a video (HDMI or Component) and audio server (Sipif, optical or analog) that will work with MC15 which I am evaluating at the moment.

What I would like is a server device that connects video and audio to my AV gear that I can control via the network that MC so I can do all the media management and control that server device as the play out centre. I had recently bought a Boxee Box by D Link thinking it would do the job but it appear not to be the case.

Is there a hardware device that talks nicely with a network that allows MC to control it and have USB media drives connect to the server?

Regards,

Fleetz

I recently bought a blu ray player (Sony S570) which supports dlna to achive a WAF compliant solution to play music, photo and video. Together with Media Server, it works fairly well, although there is little extra features now.

The players are so cheap now anyway, so I guess it will satisfy me for a while :-)

Fleetz,

I have MC running on a server and have tested a WD TV Live Plus using DLNA with MC.
This allows me using Web remote to send Video and music to the WD TV.
It supports HDMI, SPDI/F, composite, etc. etc. Costs about $99

Although from our question I'm not totally sure by your terminology if your looking for the server with all the media on it and managed by MC or a client (Renderer) for actual playback
