Guys as of right now I run a pretty large file server where all of our media is contained I use Windows Media center on the client end. I am wanting to be able to stream content to any Android device be it a tablet or phone IOS devices would also be nice. Now when I say content I am talking about photos, mp4, mkv, xvid, divx, iso pretty much anything. So this seems to be pushing me towards a UPNP DLNA configuration. I really do not want a product where I have to leave a user account logged onto the system because it can't run as a service. I've listed products below that I've found I would appreciate it if you all would let me know your thoughts on this subject and what you are using. Hopefully some of these solutions support Server 2012R2, 2008R2 or even Linux.
