@Shinobar's version is here.

Note: I NEVER consider DLNA as open-source because it is provided by vendors to "tap" usage for their purposes in spite of what we are told. It offer NO transfer advantage over other protocols and is placed in "their" devices sold to world's citizens.

But, that comment by me aside, it does work as they advertise and provide.

I have most recently been a follower of Chromecast for its ability to allow me to cast your PC desktop, your PC streaming media, your smartPhone, your smartTablet to the TV as another TV channel. This now replaces the HDMI cable approach for using your TV to view content

I draw attention to a very example of where XBMC is showing us how to do such, here.

Also, thanks @Flash for bringing this kind of technology discussion to Puppyland as more and more and more families are finding this need within the walls of their homes, today.

@StemSee has builtin, OOTB, the very latest XBMC in EmSeeV3, here. Now without installing anything, you just use it!

Enjoy the modern things we can do with old Puppy.
