Hi guys,

Just a quick one. A while back I used to use my 360/PS3 to stream off my old desktop, which I no longer have, just my mac mini and MBP. What software exists that I can use to stream my media to these devices? I've tried twonky, but any free ones? If not, what's the most feature packed and easy to use to pay for?

My father is in the same boat back up north so I'd like to offer him some assistance.

Cheers.
 
Aye, my housemate has medialink on his macmini. May look further into that. I'll take a look at xbmc/plex though as you say they're more media centres themselves, would prefer something in the background. I assume boxee doesn't offer upnp?

edit - forgot to say thanks, your post is very helpful :)
 
Hey Mo, yea, I have boxee - amazing piece of software, but my old mans mac mini isn't near the TV so needs some software than can stream to the PS3. I think he'll go with medialink.
 
Just a bit of feedback, installed ps3MS... the transcoding works a treat as does normal streaming. Will evaluate this for a while longer but seems perfect. Thought it was PC only, not MAC!

Thanks
