The reason I was asking is exactly the one you were referring to: codecs. So what I figured was that it would be neat to create a device type for WMP12 that automatically makes sure that the content streamed to WMP is using a codec understood by WMP natively - thus getting around having to install codecs on Windows, using different players, etc in the first place.I just figured out that WMP announces itself to a DLNA server as "user agent: Microsoft-Windows/6.1 UPnP/1.0 Windows-Media-Player/12.0.7600.16415 DLNADOC/1.50 (MS-DeviceCaps/1024)" - so I'll try and muddle my way through creating a device type in Fuppes for it. Should be interesting.thxSven Heya,

I was explaining on how to use fuppes as a server and windows media player as the client program. If you are trying to use Windows Media Player as the server, and another device as the client. Then all you need to do is organize the movies, pictures, music that you have into the folders located at c:\Users\USERNAME.I tried this on my Ps3 and it works, but the main problem you might have with windows media player as the server software is that it probably won't be able to play all your files. The problem with windows media player is that usually lacks codecs that you need to play certain files.I used to use Windows Media Center, but it wouldn't play mp4 and mkv at the time. If you have any problems with Windows Media Player, I suggest using Tversity. I wrote a tutorial on how to setup tversity, it should be located under the Media Server category.

Inside the network folder, you should see the fuppes media server. Just click on the Fuppes icon, then you should be able to browse for the file. Im am just guess at this and haven't tried it since, I recently switched over to the Ps3 Media server. I really don't ever use Windows Media Player, I usually use either Quicktimes since I can control the bandwidth of the stream or I use CCCP codecs with mplayer.

Of course I'll try expanding on that one if I come across other devices on the internet... About the above: yes I DID see the (short) list on the Fuppes Wiki, but that’s a very short one….

I also had a look on google to figure out something like a list of settings for various hardware devices exists - but couldn't find one. If you have an idea, could you share it?thxSven Heya,
