Hi,
I know this is a long shot, but is anyone aware of a blackberry app that allows me to render media stored on my NAS? (via Twonky). Somethink like Media Link Player Lite.
Cheers,
Peter

Re: Blackberry??
Dear Peter,
Why using a DLNA client? Since about Blackberry OS 4.2 or better on OS 4.3+, you should be able to access the Twonky Mobile MediaBrowser using your browser on the URL http://[TS]:9000/ - and play your media direct.
Assume you speak of WLAN access. For Internet access, you must forward the port 9000 on your NAT router - and don't forget adding a password to Twonky to protect your media, bandwidth, or both. In case you intend to stream over 3G/UMTS, watch your Telco invoice - with flat rates mostly bound to "fair usage" term - your mileage can vary due to latency.
The Twonky MobileMedia Browser is available on QNAP Turbo NAS running on Twonky Version 5.
Enjoy,
-Kurt.
PS: Good mobile devices or smart users don't require Apps for everything. To many iPhone apps around for simple things readily available by http.

Re: Blackberry??
ok - got this working, but it's a bit crap as i have to play songs one at a time - hardly practical.
Is there anything that lets me play a playlist?
Thanks,
Peter
