If the D-Link media box is a UPnP Media Player, I currently am using
a Python UPnP media server that I've been working on:
http://resnet.uoregon.edu/~gurney_j/jmpc/pymeds.html

It works w/ my D-Link DSM-520, except that after about 25-30 minutes,
it times out using the latest firmware...  Though after the first
timeout, things seem a lot better...
