In this article, I describe how to set up an integrated media system with Linux.

Objective

• To integrate my TV so that I can play content directly from the web including YouTube
• To be able to play my media including DVD's, Music and view photos via my TV or Computer

Components

The components I used were as follows:
1 x Samsung Series 7 LED TV (with LAN port, and DLNA support)
1 x Media Server (this also acts as my file server)
1 x Media Player
