'''llink is a media streamer''' that lets you play movies, view online trailers, browse images or play music over a network using the http protocol. It should work with most Syabas NMT hardware (NetworkedMediaTank middleware based players), such as the Popcorn Hour A- and B-series, HDX, iSTAR, Egreat a whole range of others, possibly even a couple of older ones like the LinkTheater. Some of the best reasons to run llink is that it can run on a great many platforms, including most popular NAS devices - even on the NMT player itself - and it can play media directly from RAR files.  '''llink''' is also a '''UPNP MediaServer''', sometimes called DNLA/UPNP, and is able to talk to many UPNP devices.
== MediaInfo-RAR ==


Welcome to the MediaInfo-RAR utility page. This is just a small front-end to the famous and most excellent [http://mediainfo.sourceforge.net/en MediaInfo] program, which enables the feature to scan media in RAR archives. In addition to this, it now can handle ISO files, like that of DVDs and bluray in ISO form. Naturally, also ISO inside RAR archives. A new switch was added to let it list the contents of ISO files, so you can find the file you are interested in. By default, it will pick the largest file found.
