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... -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."
