Mr-Protocol Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) I'm no linux master. But how would I connect my Ubuntu machine to my Windows Media (Using Windows Media Player to share the media; works with my PS3) Server? Is there a media player that can be installed or is installed that will search the LAN for media servers?

Sparda Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UPnP_...player_software Apparently VLC can do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Protocol Posted September 19, 2010 Author Share Posted September 19, 2010 (edited) VLC I think only connects to "Streaming" media. I'm kind of looking for the whole PS3 feel of being able to choose what media I want and play it. Something that maybe talks to the Remote Media Sharing/Windows Media Connect. (I think that is what WMP uses). Edit: VLC does it but it's very sloppy with how it organizes files. Impossible to browse files. I should post a capture of what it's doing. And it's not showing all the media. Infact hardly any. XBMC actually works very well. Just got it working.
