Along the way I have attempted to host in on a Windows PC on my network and an NAS device (a D-Link DNS-320L). Unfortunately, finding the optimal media server has been a long quest for me. Such a thing should allow me to store movies and other video, music, and pictures in a place where they're accessible to the DVD player and the large TV screen and stereo speakers that are attached to it. I have a little home network that connects computers - both desktop and mobile - that my wife and I regularly use, as well as an LG blu-ray DVD player that is 'smart' and can function with a DNLA media server, located elsewhere on the network. In doing so, I have blatantly stolen all of his images, for which I give him full credit!

So, I thought I'd make my first Instructable as an update to his. Unfortunately, there were a few frustrating 'holes' in his description that I had to fill myself through lots of research and trial and error. First off, many thanks to The Server Guy, who created the original Instructable on this subject.
