Hi all,

I have an old eeepc laying around and I am thinking of using it as a media server to stream media to my tablet.

Which protocols do you recommend? I am familiar with UPnP, smb and VLC network streaming. UPnP is not secure as I heard which leaves me with either vlc or samba. Are there other protocols out there or more secure?

Thanks for any input

I think I will go with smb since most music apps I seen use upnp and samba as options for streaming.
