A while back, I used my Time Capsule to stream content to a PS3. It required a program called MediaConnect. However, a problem with the Time Capsule was always getting it to "wake up." I wouldn't recommend using the Time Capsule for this purpose.

Can't the Encore access music files from a standard shared hard drive? (Shared using SMB?)

Sorry, no.

As long as Apple does not provide such a service as part of the software i am afraid you have to go for a separate NAS.

Understand. But I have enough place on TC and would love to keep my "machine park" as it is.

So is there no way to use the TC as DLNA server?

TC is a backup solution and a router. It is not designed as a NAS. Get a cheap NAS and plug it in to the TC

Why searching to tweak the Time Capsule and not replacing it by a full featured NAS, which will do everything the TC does, and add DLNA compatibility?

Dear all,

I have serched the WEB quite a lot, but nowhere found a easy to understand information of how I could use my Time Capsule as DLNA device for future running a BS5 encore with having my music files on the time capsule. Right now I have an iMac with all data and beoport together with my BS3200. But I want to come to a point where the iMac does not need to run around the clock anymore.

I know that time capsule cannot DLNA, but there are some programs out there that enable it to do so. I read about Twonkey but did not look through the description on the twonkey site..

Thank you for your advices,

Heribert
