Google Media Server Set To Provide Entertainment On Your TV
June 28, 2008
Washington (dbTechno) - Google has announced the release of a brand new application called Google Media Server, which allows users to play videos, photos, music, and more from their PC, right on their TV.
The Google Media Server has the ability to hook up with any device that supports Universal Plug and Play, or UPnP.
This means that the Google Media Desktop will be able to hook up with devices such as video game consoles Sony PS3, as well as the Microsoft Xbox 360.
This brings Google closer than ever to the home entertainment market, currently being fought over by Microsoft and Apple with various devices.
The Google Media Server works only on Windows machines, and requires the user to install Google Desktop applications on their PC.
The software uses the Desktop Search feature to find files on the PC and on the Web, and then streams them.
