Going from (what would now be considered "old school") an original Xbox running XBMC to a friends Playstation 3 with DLNA felt like a monumental step back With the Xbox, I simply mapped a Samba share (something like \\NAS\XBMC\) full of content and it brought it up without issue and simply played it DLNA meanwhile every time something changed, I'd have to restart the whole thing to regenerate the "index". It also played maybe half the file formats XBMC did, despite being newer and an order of magnitude more powerful Things have finally more or less come full circle again, these days I can run "Plex" on my NAS to just spew out media to everything, as long as it runs the Plex app anyway (which covers my Xbox One and Phone, at least). The only downside is having to pay for it, of course
