Because Kodak makes these cool EZ digital frames, which I received as a gift, I had to get the wireless streaming working (why would I do it the easy way via USB) and of course their conehead Kodak software only works over wifi for streaming with Windows. So after a call to Kodak tech support, they said hey try this, it's supposed to work, but we really don't know. So, I downloaded it and installed. No manual required. An easy web set up (in fact the whole server is web driven) was a no brainer, and after struggling through the crappy Kodak documentation to get the frame preferences set, it worked great. I'm going to buy the license even though Kodak should have provided this, but I'd rather have these photos changing dynamically from my computer than updating with a hook up to my Mac via USB, which I'd probably do maybe once a year. So this little piece of wonderware has made a so so product (the Kodak frame) awesome and cool.
I haven't checked out the other media server capabilities because I have those handled via iTunes, Airtunes and ATV, but I recommend you try this software if one of the photo capability or one of the other (video and audio) capabilities is needed. So my rating is based on the photo part, but it couldn't be easier.
One thing I'd like to see is direct streaming from iPhoto libraries--would make this a lot more useful, but I'm happy at the moment just to get this. if you guys are listening, please add iPhoto integration (it has iTunes integration, so I don't see why not....)
