I am thinking of getting a wireless digital picture frame, and I was wondering if anyone any experience streaming media from the MediaSmart to one of these frames?

I am not completely sure how media streaming would work with such a frame. Are there any that work particularly well? Are there some essential features on the frame I should look for to ensure it will work properly?

If I'm not mistaken, D-Link just came out with a new wireless digital picture frame that you configure via a website. Then the pictures are streamed based on that configuration. An example given in the article I read spoke of sending pictures directly to your Grandmothers picture frame from a remote location.

Here's a link to the frame I mentioned in my previous post.

I have been using a Kodak frame for over a year and am generally pleased with it. Needs to be started manually but the wireless works great to my WHS/MSS photo storage. Would be nice if it auto-started in that display mode though!

Than D-Link capability sounds FANTASTIC!

I certainly have the same complaint with my Kodak EX811; in fact, a quick Google search shows that customers are begging for Kodak to do a simple, elementary firmware update that adds the ability to simply make the Network connect the default "album" upon starting up the frame.  I think that at this point, even though Kodak still sells these for north of $200, their answer is to buy their newer model that just came out.  Which sucks.
