Περίμενα από την μέρα που έκανε το ντεμπούτο του το PS3 στην Αμερική να ακούσω κάτι τέτοιο. Πίστευω ότι η Sony θα έπρεπε να το είχε κάνει και να το είχε ενσωματώσει στο XMB, αλλά είναι πολύ οι λόγοι που με κάνουν σιγά σιγά να πιστεύω ότι αυτό δε θα γίνεi. Ωστόσο ήρθε ένα πολύ ευχάριστο νέο από την Access Co. για μία εφαρμογή που παρουσίασε και θα βγει στην αγορά για το PS3, όπου μέσα από το YDL θα μετατρέπει το PS3 σε ένα Digital Media Server!!Διαβάστε παρακάτω, το θέμα έχει αρκετό ενδιαφέρον... :wink:
ACCESS Co., Ltd. has demonstrated the operation of its DLNA-compatible middleware "NetFront Living Connect" using the "PlayStation 3 (PS3)" at the "10th Embedded Systems Expo (ESEC)," which opened on May 16, 2007. Using "Yellow Dog Linux v5.0 for PlayStation 3," the company demonstrated its NetFront Living Connect for Linux.
NetFront Living Connect is a co-development with IP Infusion, Inc., which ACCESS acquired and made its wholly-owned subsidiary in February 2006.
The company demonstrated the operation of the PS3 as a "DMS (digital media server)" that transmits content stored on its HDD to other machines on the network. Given the limited capacity of its HDD, however, the PS3 is not really the optimum device to be used as a DMS, in which a large amount of content is stored. The PS3 is supposed to be optimum for use as a "DMP (digital media player)," which replays content in every kind of format by making the most of the computing capability of its "Cell" microprocessor.
To use the PS3 as a DMP, however, a number of codecs must be installed for Cell. ACCESS did not demonstrate a DMP system this time, since "our DMP software is still under development and not ready to be presented at ESEC," a booth attendant explained.

NetFront Living Connect Features
Optimized for Embedded Information Appliances
NetFront Living Connect was designed from its initial planning stage as an optimal solution for resource-limited embedded environments. Its high portability, which allows it to function with any OS or CPU, also means that it can be seamlessly embedded into a wide variety of devices.
Linking with ACCESS Technology
By integrating with ACCESS' NetFront Browser (which includes support for Ajax and RSS) and TCP/IP, NetFront Living Connect can be provided as a total solution.
Flexible Modular Structure
NetFront Living Connect's porting layer is peer (Target Adaptation Module) independent, and is adaptable to a wide variety of hardware and OS environments. NetFront Living Connect includes a UI Library that enables development of graphical user interfaces (GUIs) on any Windows® based PC.
NetFront Living Connect's DLNA device class is modular for each function, which means that only the necessary device class has to be mounted.
Supported OS: ITRON®, Linux®, Windows Mobile® 5 for Pocket PC and Smartphone Edition, BREW®, Symbian OS, etc.
