Streaming from Mac Mini to LG BluRay

[conebeckham]

Hi-
I've been trying to determine if I get set up a DLNA server, using my Mac Mini, to stream to my wifi-equipped LB BluRay player. I've turned on sharing, etc., but the BluRay doesn't find my computer.

Do I need to install some server software to run on my Mac in order for this to work?

You can use Make MKV's streaming server to send the Blu-ray video to VLC, which can then play it with 5.1 AC3 or DTS audio. My quad-core hackintoshes can, but my 2 gHz Core 2 Duo GMA950 Mini cannot. You can read more about how to stream from here - Mac Streaming on Blu-Ray Players
