It appears that Avel's NAS has the server software built in.


Further investigation shows that the software is called LinkServer. It appears to be closed-source Java. No idea about whether there is native code in among the Java. There are reports of problems with WMV9 - the Sigma chip doesn't include the codec that Microsoft most commonly uses in WMV9.

Buffalo do a similar product in Japan - the LinkTheatre; and there is also the Transtechnology DVX-600. There are two versions of the LinkPlayer, one with WIFI and one with just Ethernet.
