I have fiddled with so many setups. Wired/wireless, dedicated PC/PS3/XBox/WDTV Live/DLNA TV, PS3 MEDIA SERVER/TVersity/Mezzmo/Twonky, etc....
Wireless was fine until someone used the microwave or I tried to steam HD. Multiple streams killed wireless (obviously).
My setup now is as follows...
1. Entire house gigabit ethernet. Got 3 wireless access points dotted around for cellphones, notebooks and tablets.
2. Media server with 7TB. Old Core2Duo.
3. Mezzmo installed on the server to act as the DLNA server. It transcodes for devices that cannot handle a particular format. Mezzmo IS the best.
4. WDTV devices on TVs that are not DLNA capable.
5. Lounge TV is DLNA capable and works 100% perfectly using Mezzmo.
After years of trying different things looking for a good setup, the above one has remained the longest. I can have multiple users on the network watching their own shows and the system runs perfectly.
I never have invalid format issues anymore either. Everything literally works on everything.
Buffering? What's that
