DNLA is just another "vendor speak" where the manufacturer's wants to lock you into using closed source options where they have a vested financial interest in channeling your usage. It's not intended for Linux folks to do as you please. Microsoft or Apple tainted type of assimilation is the goal.... A possible coarse of action might be to apple to those fancy, vendor intended services directly from your telly (like netflix). Then sniff the data traffic to figure out how the software works. Find an open source equivalent and see if it works. Surely some group of hackers are working on a solution to use those ethernet ports on the newer Telly. I have an ethernet port on my newest 55" telly, but my experience is it takes tons of time in the early days of such, before a viable (compatible) hack exist to use the resource (in this case an ethernet on a telly) as you please with linux. Or just monitor and search periodically until some hack becomes available. I hope I'm wrong, but this is the pattern that seems unchangeable and adopted by most new manufacturers. I just googled for "panasonic linux SOC" and found this as a starting point for your research: http://www.linuxfordevices.com/c/a/News/Panasonic-UniPhier-MN2WS0220-/ The Arm Cortex A9 is a very common core (System on a Chip) that runs embedded linux most of the time.... Happy Hunting, hth, pist: when you find a solution, do post back to us! James
