nullriver MediaLink
Best DLNA media server for Mac
I was looking for a good DLNA UPnP server for my new Samsung UE46B7050 LED TV, and searched the internet for the different options. I tried several, but the choice fell on these two which vere very simple to configure.
Elgato Eyeconnect
Super fine product, almost no setup, just a preference pane with two tabs that you see below. That controls it all, and DLNA server, the Mac it runs on, it pops up very fast on either TV or Playstation 3 (which I use to DNLA as it runs better / faster and it transmits sound to the my av-receiver)
Elgato EyeConnect
Price: 49.95 USD
Medialink
Same as with Elgato, just a preference pane with some tabs that you see below. That controls it all, and the DLNA server, the Mac it runs on, it pops up very fast on either TV or Playstation 3 But gives a little more options as specific iTunes playlists, Aperture support, iPhoto HD Support costs 40% of what Elgato Eyeconnect costs.
nullriver MediaLink
Price: 20.00 USD
If it must be a little more geeky, there's an overview here: How to choose a DLNA Media Server
Have also tried TwonkyMedia (commenly used on NAS like QNAP and Synology, also is in my NAS; a QNAP TS-239 Pro) but I could not get to work, it is something with config via http and some ports, and GUI interface ... it is to damn difficult for me.
I think i’ll grab MediaLink for 20 dollars, just to have the ability to play directly from your Mac. Do not actually need my Mac Mini any more ... :(
