@IvoFlipse Whichever way this ends up going, it needs to be spelt out. The current policy towards these questions is not clear. They appear to be disallowed by the FAQ; they are sometimes implicitly accepted, especially when popular ("depends on the mood of the crowd"); they are sometimes closed/deleted. Depending on the interpretation, there are also a whole lot of these types of questions popping up everywhere. I would say that the only other major type of questions are the 'help' ones, which are often very localised!
@IvoFlipse At the moment, I'm more wondering on the community's opinion of those questions. Are they valid questions? They won't need to be dealt with if it's decided to change the policy towards them (and the FAQ). I'll add an answer with my own opinion tomorrow if no one else has done so (with the same opinion). I'd like to keep the question neutral (feel free to fix!).
@Nifle Question asked. I've tried to keep the question neutral (feel free to fix that up!), and I'll add my own answer tomorrow if no one else has come out in support of keeping these questions.
@Nifle Seems to be a lot of conflicting opinions about this issue (meta.superuser.com/questions/2607/…)... Perhaps we should ask a meta question specifically addressing the actual problems part of the FAQ (and whether it should be amended).
The answer is addressing the feasibility of DLNA (and other methods) for streaming live (real time) video. Perhaps if the question was modified to better match that answer.
