Time Capsule and DLNA

Question

Time Capsule and DLNA

My Sony Bravia TV has the ability to stream videos/songs/pictures etc. over my home network. I was wondering, is it possible to use my Time Capsule as a movie server to stream movies to the TV

Many Thanks
Tom

Hello MindTriiiickz. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!

Unfortunately, the Time Capsule (TC) itself is not a multimedia server and does not provide DLNA server (or client) services. Instead the TC can be used as a media storage device. One option would be to use a software DLNA server, like TwonkyServer, to stream the TC's media files to your Sony HDTV.

Tesserax,

Does one need to keep a machine up and running in order to access content on TC via TwonkyServer. My understanding is if you do not have a mac rup and running this software your media device can not access the contant, is this correct?
