Suggestions for DLNA server/controller to use with Sony home theater system?

dantimatter · Dec 30, 2012, 03:32 PM

Hi All,
Just bought me a new Sony BDV-N790W blu ray home theater system and am trying to get all the Apple devices in my home connected to it. Does anyone have suggestions for DLNA server/controller software that works nicely on OS X (with controller apps on iPhone, I guess) and that integrate well with Sony systems?
Thanks!

On MacOS - XBMC AV Server
on iOS ArkMC Controller
Works good with my Sony TV, WD NAS, WD TV, Sony Media Player.

thanks! i ended up with Plex and it seems to be working well. although i am still hoping i stumble onto something that makes searching through my media library on the TV somewhat 'prettier'. maybe wireless screen sharing?

Both DLNA and Plex are installable on Synology NAS's. You also get Time Machine and a handful of iOS apps.
