DLNA is an industry standard for media (audio, video, photo) sharing within concept of a digital home and

is supported by many hardware and software manufacturers. As of FW1.80, DLNA is supported by

Playstation 3 entertainment system. PS3 takes a role of DLNA Player, not DLNA server, so it can play a

content of any DLNA server (source) in you digital home, but can not stream the content to other server

within DLNA protocols. (Remote connect to PSP is using proprietary protocols.)

What it means is that you have to have a DLNA server installed, either hardware (like some HDD storages,

DVRs or set-top boxes) or as a software on your PC.

The latter is most interesting for majority of us, since DLNA certified CE equipment is not that widespread yet.

Your options for the software naturally depends on your operating system. DLNA is an open protocol based

on UPnP (Universal PnP) and therefore can work on any operating system. So far we found a reasonably good solution only for Windows OSes, so I'll start with it.
