Oppo streaming capabilities


Hi everybody,

I'm in the market for a bluray player and I'm thinking about an Oppo. I also have a Squeezebox and a Sony media streamer for Netflix, etc. I discovered that the Sony streamer can see the Logitech Media Server software and I'm wondering if the latest Oppos can stream music content from a home network using UPnP streaming software such as LMS. It would be nice to reduce the box/remote count if the Oppo can stream my music content over the network.

As a related aside, does anyone know the differences in network capability between the BDP-93/95 and the BDP-103/105?

Thanks

UPnP is supported on the Oppo units without issue but the interface is clunky in my opinion. When you say network capability what do you mean? Gigabit vs 10/100 or ability to see a NAS, etc.?
You can indeed access the folder and subfolders but you need a monitor as Sarcher30 said. The interface is horrible. I setup a UPnP server for a family member and then connected their BDP-93 and it works but it's clunky.

If I recall, all you'll need to do is enter in the IP address of the server and (possibly) the port for the UPnP server if it's using a non-standard port. You'll be able to do all that on the Oppo. Then, bingo, when you go to access the additional media via the Oppo menu, you'll see your server and the folders there. I don't recall if you can have more than one UPnP source with the Oppo as a content storage.

I personally don't use UPnP. I have my entire setup through iTunes and my whole system automated via my iPhone. What I'd ask Oppo is if there's a more "user-friendly" way to control the navigation of UPnP content. That was the real clunky thing for me.
