Closed DLNA question

Question

Yesterday i edited my closed question to specify that i will be using it for my computer, as explicitly stated by the FAQ:

Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about …

computer hardware
computer software
personal and home computer networking

and it is not about …

videogames or consoles
websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress
electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, **except insofar as they interface with your computer**
issues specific to corporate IT support and networks
a shopping or buying recommendation

… then you’re in the right place to ask your question!

Why is it still closed?

Answer 1

It was closed under the "shopping or product recommendation" clause of the off topic section.

If you had already bought a device and needed to get it working for your set up, that would be on topic. If it was about better understanding what you should look for in an item, that too would be on topic.

Super User works to give expert and knowledgeable advice on computers but not on catalogue lookups.

Answer 2

Adding a line stating that you are wanting to use it "from a computer" is not a magical bullet to suddenly make it on topic.

If you were to instead ask if DNLA was a valid solution to your problem then it would potentially be on topic. Please note that I am specifically saying if DNLA is valid rather than what DNLA is valid.

There is a distinction between the two, one is checking you are headed in the right direction, the other is asking for someone else to do your shopping homework for you.
