Nokia control in various rooms
If you want to use one Nokia to control several DS's all over the house, as soon as you go to the next DS, it stops the other ones. Any hint?

Standard Upnp Av (ie Media Streamer on the N800) is designed largely for single room use. The Upnp Av control point stores the playlist locally, and then sets the next song when the current has finished. Hence if you point Media Streamer at a different renderer/room, it won't be watching the previous room any more.

This use case is one of the reasons for the Linn extensions to the Upnp Av. With these extensions, the playlist is stored on the renderer and the music can continue without assistance from the control point.

Your short term option is Kinksy. Leia Ds might also be worth a look as it uses the Linn Upnp Av extensions[*]. Medium term options include Rik's iPhone app which will also use the Linn extensions.

[*] Does anyone know if Leia Ds supports room selection at this point?
