E72 / E73 Media Player that will stream from my own network?

Hey All -I have a windows home server box that is running FirePlay (a flahs-based front end for FireFly MediaServer). Basically this will let me stream music from any device that can hit page (http://servername/fireplay) either locally or over the web. The problem is, it's unusable on the E73 browser. It looks like it will work, but it's so small buttons get squished and it just won't play.

Bummer. So I'm looking for other options that will maybe be able to hit the local server share. I tried the Internet Radio app, but it won't resolve (possibly because there's no place to enter username). I thought maybe OggPlay was the answer, but the streaming functionality is coming in a future version.

I don't think Tune Wiki does this either.

Am I missing anyone/anything?

Thanks!
 
i know the e72 is dlna cerfied and can stream stuff for your media server. it's the home network icon that allows you to browse through your stuff.

it's missing from the e73 though. not sure if there's a work around, maybe try using another browser like opera? or skyfire?
 
You know you're right. I forgot that I had read some where that the DLNA stuff was gone on the E73. The question is - is it totally gone or (like Internet Radio) just something they left out of the firmware that will work after install (or tweaked settings or ...)?

That gives me another angle to try. Thanks!

PS - I tried Opera but I'll try Skyfire, too.
