</div>Be aware that just because a player supprts DLNA or UPNP does not<br>
guarantee that it will work with myth's upnp server or the files your<br>
myth system records, let alone the huge variants of codec and<br>
container you might have in your mythvideo collection!<br>
<br>
Often there are slight variations in the implementation of upnp/dlna<br>
in the players sold in the market. also most of them will only play<br>
with a limited set of codecs and containers.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately that results in a bit of trial and error, which can be a<br>
pain when you have to make a purchase decision.<br>
