Hi. I can only stream music and pictures, but not videos on the N95. Does anybody notice this?

I installed the Home Media Server shipping with OVI suite on Windows Vista X64.
My N85 can browse, copy and play the file and shared library of my computer, but my computer cannot connect with N85's media library. N85 shows up in my Network, but media player does not show it in the available libraries.
Also, i cannot play songs via the N85 on the home network.
Can you draft a new article with an FP2 device, Windows Vista and the OVI's suite's Home Media Server?

Apparently the max size of the file to be copied is not big. Even after setting "save location" to memory card, some 20MB videos cannot be copied (70Mb free phone memory, some 50MB free RAM at the moment of operation)

orb and winamp are also options
I have played around with Orb (www.orb.com) and found it pretty impressive. I seem to recall being also being able to play to the pc as well, and using the pc as a slideshow viewer for the pics on my n82. I currently use Winamp remote (which is a watered down version of Orb, and powered by Orb) In both cases I have been able to stream video to a N810 (not sure about the phone though). The problem with streaming video is just that it seems restricted to mpg (mpeg) and I have converted most of my dvds to divx or xvid. :(
There are rumoured hifis that are upnp compatible. On the other hand a2dp streaming seems to also be taking off. So many options and formats, so little time. sigh

I always wondered how does it work... Thanks Ewan, with your help I finally got it.

Ewan, can you stream movies.

Unregistered, yes that is noted in the article, you'll need the later firmwares for the N95 range to get streaming, you only have copy available at the moment.

Streaming doesn't work on the N95-3, even with firmware ver 11.2.009

UPnP in Ubuntu
On Ubuntu, you don't need to install anything! Just enable the UPnP Sharing plugin in Rhythmbox ;-)

For mac users I found out that Elgato's EyeConnect works very well, I documented my experiments (:P) here: http://www.fwrnando.com/blog/2008/dlna-on-the-n95/

Yes, this is a very cool piece of software but beware, if you use Devicescape, they do not co-exist together. It's one or the other.

@Xerxes:
Maybe surprisingly, Windows Media Player is only (in uPNP terms) a server and not a player. The best option I've managed to find so far that does both is the software that comes on your N95 CD, which Nokia call Home Media Centre but is really a bundled version of Simple Center.
@topyli:
Thanks muchly. I really want to give this a try at home: must start having a sniff around the office for a redundant workstation with a nice big hard drive ;-)

@neilhoskins: Ubuntu has ushare which works well. apt-get install ushare, edit /etc/ushare.conf, run ushare and dance the night away

This is interesting but what I'd like to know is how to use my N95 as a wifi remote for Windows Media.
