| == Compatible UPnP MediaServers (UPnP-servers) ==
| |
| UPnP AV MediaServers (UPnP-servers) is where you store and share your media (pictures/videos/audio/music) files from. There are UPnP MediaServers available for most operating-systems and many hardware-platforms, and those UPnP AV MediaServers can be either be categorized as 'software-based' or 'hardware-based'. Software-based MediaServers can be run on PC (personal-computer), mainly on Win32, Linux, BSD, Unix or Mac operating-systems platforms. And, hardware-based MediaServers may run on any [[NAS (Network Attached Storage)]] or any specific hardware designed for delivering media, like for example a PVR (Personal Video Recorder) or DVR (Digital Video Recorder) set-top box. Currently, there are more software-based MediaServers than hardware-based, but chances are that will change in the near future as UPnP becomes a more popular standard for network connectivity.
