I personally have this setup running on Windows on my home network. XBMC |
| 2 |
has uPNP built in which allows streaming to or from my home theater setup |
| 3 |
from either my Android phone or another uPNP machine on my network. It's by |
| 4 |
far yhe easiest solution I could come up with. Even lets me stream 1080p |
| 5 |
movies. I'm sure a similar setup could be achieved with the linux version |
| 6 |
of XBMC. There's even a specific version for the Pi. |
