In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Barbara Heil a former Charismatic, Evangelical Ministry, Missionary, and Evangelist who heard the call of God – encountered Christ in a profound way – and became Catholic! This is an incredible story, buckle up!Barbara spent 30 years in what she called cutting-edge Evangelical ministry, always seeking to live on the margins of where God was calling her, her husband, and their thriving ministry, until she began to encounter Christ in the most unexpected places: through Catholic priest, the Mass, and in Catholic encounters!Barbara's story is one of those incredible journeys of someone who is seriously "sold out" for the Lord, encountering him in the least likely of places: the Catholic Church. For more from Barbara check out From His Heart Ministries and her book Journey Into His Heart: How the Holy Spirit Led Me Into the Catholic Church.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/union-with-christHey New Song Church! Grab your Bible and turn to Romans 6.We're in Looking Unto Jesus, a series chasing one thing: Real change for real sinners — not polish, not performance, but transformation that reaches desire and identity. Today we're going straight to the source of that change: Union with Christ.Big Idea: You're not just forgiven by Christ — you are united to Christ. What's true of Him now defines you. His death counts as your death. His resurrection fuels your life.In this message you'll learn:• Why the Bible's most repeated identity is “in Christ” — and why that changes everything.• How Romans 5–6 moves you from in Adam (sin/death) to in Christ (righteousness/life).• The four approaches to growth — God then me / God not me / God plus me / God in me — and why only one actually transforms.• What “abiding” really means (John 15): grafted into Jesus so His life produces His fruit in you.• Why union makes you secure (Romans 8), blessed (Ephesians 1), and transformed (Galatians 2:20) — and why the greatest gift of the gospel is Christ Himself.Key Texts: Romans 6:3–5; Romans 5:12,19; 1 Corinthians 15:22; 2 Corinthians 5:21; John 15:4–5; Philippians 2:12–13; Colossians 1:29; 1 Corinthians 6:17; John 10:28–29; Colossians 3:3; Ephesians 1:3; Romans 8:1,38–39; Galatians 2:20Sticky lines to take with you:• “We were all born in Adam — we must be reborn in Christ.”• “This isn't God plus me — it's God in me.”• “Union isn't fragile; it's Spirit-forged.”• “The reward of union isn't just what Jesus gives — it's Jesus.”Next steps:• If you're burned out on “God then me,” come home to God in me.• If you've been passive, abide — take the step He already called you to.• If shame's been loud, hear the gentle Jesus: “I haven't let go.”

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/despairWhy do “real sinners” like us so rarely experience real change? Could self-confidence be blinding you to your need? What if the doorway to joy actually runs through despair—seeing yourself as God sees you, then collapsing into mercy? In this powerful message, Pastor Jackson walks us through Deceived → Despairing → Delight without getting stuck in shame. He'll walk us through how Paul's journey—from “I persecuted the church” to “I'm the foremost of sinners”—teaches us about humble joy and lasting transformation. Grab your Bible, grab a pen, and lets dive in!

Galatians

We're called to embrace compassion in action, not just in thought. The story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 with five loaves and two fish teaches us that God can multiply our seemingly insignificant offerings. It's not about what we lack, but about giving what we have, no matter how small. This challenges us to look at our own lives and ask: What do we have in our hands that God could use? Our prayers, words, or gifts may feel small, but in God's hands, they can move mountains, touch souls, and feed thousands. We're God's masterpieces, created for good works He planned long ago. Let's step out in faith, offering our 'five loaves and two fish,' and watch how God can rewrite stories and leave lasting legacies through us.

Long before Donald Trump up-ended traditional conservatism in the US, another charismatic figure was re-shaping the Republican Party.Writer William F. Buckley was the first editor of National Review, perhaps the most influential political magazine of the 20th century.

https://newsongpeople.com/messages/seven-dimensions-of-jesusHey New Song — we're kicking off a brand-new series: Looking Unto Jesus.This week we begin with the thing every change-seeking heart needs to hear: real growth doesn't start with trying harder — it starts with seeing Jesus rightly.Big idea: Real change for real sinners comes from looking to Jesus — not looking harder at ourselves. When Jesus expands, we change.In this message you'll hear:• Why growth is in Christ (2 Peter 3:18 / Ephesians 4:15) — not self-improvement.• How a domesticated, collectible-figure Jesus keeps us small — and why the real, unsearchable Jesus makes us free.• Seven dimensions of Jesus that reshape our lives: He Rules, Saves, Befriends, Perseveres, Intercedes, Is Returning, and Is Gentle.• Practical next steps for people stuck in control, shame, exhaustion, cynicism, or numbness — what it looks like to draw near.• Stories, Scripture, and pastoral truth to help you dive deeper into Christ and begin real, lasting change.Scriptures referenced: 2 Peter 3 · Ephesians 4 · Matthew 28 · Luke 7 · John 10 · John 15 · Philippians 2 · Romans 5 · Hebrews 7 · Matthew 11 · Mark 13 (and more)If you came for pep-talks, great — but if you want soul change, come ready to look. Let the fullness of Jesus expand your vision, overwhelm your assumptions, and love you into growth.

"ONE TEAM. ONE MISSION. Today's Jersey Sunday message reminded us that as the body of Christ, we are unified in our diversity. Despite our differences in race, politics, or personal preferences, we are called to be ONE TEAM with a singular focus: spreading the Gospel and showing Christ's love. Pastor challenged us to: Be humble and gentle Make allowances for each other's faults Stay united in the Spirit Cover everything in love In a world filled with division, let's stand together as the church and change the narrative. We are unified in the essentials, grant freedom in the non-essentials, and cover everything else with love. Remember: "If we do not hang together, we will most assuredly hang separately." - Ben Franklin Join us next Sunday as we continue to grow together in faith and unity! #OneTeam #LifeChurch #JerseySunday"

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    "When the glory falls" versus "falling short of the glory" It is important not to confuse the phrase with "falling short of the glory," which is a separate biblical concept from Romans 3:23. In that context, "falling short of the glory of God" refers to sin and the human failure to reflect God's perfect character. The saying "when the glory falls" is not about a personal failure but about a collective, supernatural experience of God's overwhelming presence   In Christian terminology, "when the glory falls" means the moment when the manifest presence of God becomes so powerful in a place or among a group of people that it is physically or spiritually tangible. It is often associated with intense worship, supernatural manifestations, and a profound sense of God's power and holiness.    Biblical roots This phrase is inspired by multiple events in the Bible where God's presence was revealed in a powerful, undeniable way: The Tabernacle and Temple: In Exodus, after the Tabernacle was completed, the glory of the Lord appeared as a cloud and filled the tent, preventing Moses from entering. A similar event happened during the dedication of Solomon's Temple in 2 Chronicles, where God's glory was so overwhelming that the priests could not stand to minister. Pentecost: In the New Testament, the Holy Spirit "fell" on the disciples in the form of wind and fire, an event that empowered them and marked the birth of the Church. Isaiah's vision: The prophet Isaiah had a vision where the train of the Lord's robe filled the temple, and the sound of the seraphim praising God shook the building.    Meaning in modern Christianity The phrase is used today, particularly within Charismatic and Pentecostal denominations, to describe a highly anticipated moment during a church service or revival. Deep spiritual encounter: It signifies a moment of intense spiritual experience where people feel a profound sense of awe and reverence for God. Tangible power: Believers describe the experience as the "weight" or "heaviness" of God's presence, an overwhelming spiritual force. Manifestations: During these moments, physical and emotional reactions can occur. Some people may fall to the ground in worship, a phenomenon referred to as being "slain in the Spirit." Others may cry out, shake, or feel waves of heat or energy. Supernatural occurrences: For many, the "glory falling" is associated with miracles and healings, where people are healed in their seats without physical touch, as the presence of God moves through the room. Divine heist or kidnapping - its a takeover: It represents a shift from a human-led service to one in which God is taking control. In these moments, planned sermons or prayers may actually stop the flow as worship takes over and the Holy Spirit moves in unexpected ways.  But here is the kicker, it almost always happens in context of believers meeting together in worship or in church (doesn't have to be a church building, but it is the church that gets together)  My point… what if you went to church not hoping worship is good, the preacher is good, the sermon keeps your attention, you see sally and Bill… what if you go to church to be the church - to pray, worship and expect the glory to fall.

Not Of This World - Lakeview Community Church

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the importance of finding true rest in Jesus. The central theme revolves around Matthew 11:28-30, where Jesus invites us to come to Him when we're weary and burdened. We're encouraged to let Jesus carry our load, learn from His gentle and humble nature, and realize that peace is found in a person, not a place. The sermon uses the analogy of an overloaded backpack to illustrate how we often try to carry too many burdens on our own. It challenges us to give up control and trust in God's plan, emphasizing that many of our stresses are self-inflicted. By learning from Jesus' example of prioritizing His relationship with the Father, we can find a more balanced and peaceful life. This message is particularly relevant in our fast-paced, stress-filled world, offering hope and practical wisdom for those feeling overwhelmed and in need of a spiritual recharge.

Welcome to this brand-new episode of Light ‘Em Up!We've had our cake and ate it too  (and it was delicious) celebrating achieving our 100th episode!Now it is time to get back to work.  Thank you to all of our previous guests, listeners and fans who contacted us, sharing warm, caring and nice thoughts about the show.We are truly here for you and because of you!On this fact-finding, incendiary and investigative episode of Light ‘Em Up, we'll interrogate the question:—     Why does someone join a cult?Is it because of their:—      desire for belonging,—     search for purpose or—     emotional vulnerability …Some of these, none of these or ALL of these and more?Is the MAGA movement a cult?  What does MAGA mean to America? And we examine charismatic leadership.—     What makes a person charismatic to where countless people revere, worship, follow them, perhaps ultimately giving their lives for what THEY believed in?We'll explore all of this through the intersection of violent extremism and the radicalization process with a little Greek history lesson sprinkled into the mix — as we continue our quest to use data to improve democracy!Cults, like gangs, fall in the realm of deviance, and both types of groups encourage members to become situationally dependent on the "group identity."Both gangs and cults recruit members based on the human need to be accepted and a part of a group that will affirm personal significance.The fact pattern shows it clearly: Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist-violent-extremism has increased in the United States.According to the American Psychological Association's Dictionary of Psychology, a cult is “a religious or quasi-religious group characterized by unusual or atypical beliefs, seclusion from the outside world, and an authoritarian structure. Cults tend to be highly cohesive, well organized, secretive, and hostile to nonmembers.”Hardened through years of social upheaval, conspiracy rhetoric, and loyalty tests, the voting bloc known as the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement, has evolved into a subculture marked by deep emotional identification with Donald Trump, and his:—     rejection of institutional legitimacy, and—     a worldview shaped less by shared policy preferences than by a shared sense of grievance and defiance.At the heart of the MAGA movement lies a narrative of persecution and betrayal.For many Trump supporters, their embrace of the 34-times-convicted felon, despite his endless stream of observable falsehoods and incendiary rhetoric, is not rooted in traditional (Ronald) Reagan-like conservatism but in a belief that he alone articulates their alienation. They seem to need a Superhero.He is their “revenge”.  He has said as much, as well.  MAGA members feel violated and offended by everyone that isn't them.This sentiment is frequently reflected in the language of victimhood:Are MAGA members perpetually victims?In 2024, Trump was not merely a candidate, but a martyr under siege by “corrupt elites” … according to him and his “Klan” of followers and supporters.We're calling on you to employ your critical thinking skills throughout this entire episode as we examine in depth behavior that explains the step-by-step process in becoming a tyrant and behaviors that would normally repulse traditional voters, which is celebrated by MAGA supporters as authenticity.Tune in and follow our sponsors Newsly and Feedspot!We want to hear from you!

Welcome to season 7 of Rector's Cupboard! Do you sometimes feel like all we do is talk about America? While many Canadians would see Canada as distinct from the States, we are influenced by our neighbours to the south. In Alberta, the provincial government is supporting the banning of books. Some of the political and religious currents in Canada look very similar to those in the United States. In the first episode of our new season, we speak with a Canadian writer and professor who has described the relationship of the neo-charismatic Pentecostal movement and the rise of Donald Trump. André Gagné is Chair of the Department of Theological Studies at Concordia University in Montreal. He is also a host of Spirit, State and Society, a podcast exploring how the global Pentecostal and charismatic movements intersect with politics, culture and society. We speak with Gagné about his 2024 book, American Evangelicals for Trump: Dominion, Spiritual Warfare, and End Times. Gagné's book is enlightening if somewhat disturbing. His work speaks not only to the American context, it also brings to mind similarities and differences in Canada. If you'd like to find Gagné's work, such as his podcast and recent articles, you can check out his Concordia faculty page.   Definitions: Expository Preaching – this style of preaching that seeks to detail the meaning and intent of a particular biblical passage.   Articles Discussed: “A shadow war on libraries”, CBC The Fifth Estate, February 7, 2025 “New Alberta school books order bans explicit images of sexual acts”, CBC, September 8,2025 “Man arrested after driving child-size pink Barbie Jeep through Prince George, B.C.”, CBC, September 8, 2025   Tasting Notes: We kicked off the season with two tastings. The first was a lovely 15-Year-Old Highland Single Malt Scotch Whiskey from Balblair Distillery, in the North of Scotland. For our second tasting we went a bit more local with Barrel-Aged Family Reserve Gin from Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery. This gin is not your typical gin. While we tasted it neat, if you wanted to mix this, Ken suggests trying a blueberry tea cocktail, with hot tea and an orange slice to bring out the citrus and oak notes in the gin.

Galatians

In this powerful message, we're reminded of the enduring beauty and significance of God's church. Despite its imperfections, the church remains a beacon of hope, built on the solid rock of Christ. We're challenged to love the church as Christ loves it, embracing its role as a hospital for souls rather than a museum of perfection. The speaker draws from Matthew 16:18, emphasizing that even the gates of hell cannot prevail against the church. This reminds us of our strength and purpose as believers. We're encouraged to see the church as a place for real people - flawed, diverse, and in various stages of their spiritual journey. This perspective invites us to extend grace to others and ourselves, recognizing that we're all works in progress. The message powerfully connects our personal growth to our involvement in the church, urging us not to neglect gathering together, especially as we near Christ's return. It's a call to renew our love for the church and to see it as God sees it - His beloved bride and the hope for a broken world.

Everyone feels it. Cultural and political life in America has become unrecognizable and strange. Firebrands and would-be sages have taken the place of reasonable and responsible leaders.

From the Puritans and Andrew Jackson to Black nationalists and Donald Trump, the saga of American charisma, Worthen argues, stars figures who possess a dangerous and alluring power to move crowds. They invite followers into a cosmic drama where hopes are fulfilled and grievances are put right—and these charismatic leaders insist that they alone plot the way.The story of charisma in America reveals that when traditional religious institutions fail to deliver on their promise of a meaningful life, people will get their spiritual needs met in a warped cultural and political landscape dominated by those who appear to have the power to bring order and meaning out of chaos. Charismatic leaders address spiritual needs, offering an alternate reality where people have knowledge, power, and heroic status, whether as divinely chosen instruments of God or those who will restore national glory.Through Worthen's centuries-spanning historical research, Spellbound places a crucial religious lens on the cultural, economic, and political upheavals facing Americans today.

Nuanced debates have given way to the smug confidence of yard signs. How did we get here?In Spellbound: How Charisma Shaped American History from the Puritans to Donald Trump" (Random House, 2025)Context (Random House, 2025), historian Molly Worthen argues that we will understand our present moment if we learn the story of charisma in America. From the Puritans and Andrew Jackson to Black nationalists and Donald Trump, the saga of American charisma, Worthen argues, stars figures who possess a dangerous and alluring power to move crowds. They invite followers into a cosmic drama where hopes are fulfilled and grievances are put right—and these charismatic leaders insist that they alone plot the way.The story of charisma in America reveals that when traditional religious institutions fail to deliver on their promise of a meaningful life, people will get their spiritual needs met in a warped cultural and political landscape dominated by those who appear to have the power to bring order and meaning out of chaos. Charismatic leaders address spiritual needs, offering an alternate reality where people have knowledge, power, and heroic status, whether as divinely chosen instruments of God or those who will restore national glory.Through Worthen's centuries-spanning historical research, Spellbound places a crucial religious lens on the cultural, economic, and political upheavals facing Americans today.

Superbold: From Under-Confident to Charismatic in 90 Days by Fred Joyal https://www.amazon.com/Superbold-Under-Confident-Charismatic-90-Days/dp/1544523076 Fredjoyal.com Boldness is a superpower. Bold individuals seize life in remarkable, almost unbelievable ways. They succeed in business, in careers, and in love, and they have a great time doing it. Bold people walk up to supermodels and ask them to dance. They stand in front of audiences and tell jokes. They start companies. They run for president. What surprises most people is that boldness can be taught. Fred Joyal started as an extremely shy person, too timid even to make a phone call, and transformed himself into someone who has done stand-up and improv comedy, spoken to audiences of 5,000 or more, met dozens of celebrities, and, just by being bold, found love, joy, passion, and success. And he can teach you how. Superbold gives you a systematic, step-by-step approach that can take you to a surprising level of boldness in as little as ninety days. Ready to stop living a life of regrets and missed opportunities? It's all possible—faster than you think.About the author Fred Joyal is an author, speaker, entrepreneur, and business advisor. Along with a lucrative career in advertising and marketing, he co-founded the most successful dentist referral service in the country, 1-800-DENTIST. He has written two books on marketing, dabbled in stand-up and improv comedy, acted in bad movies and excellent TV commercials, and visited over forty-four countries around the world. He has an honorary Doctor of Arts degree from the University of Rhode Island, perhaps because of his generous donations. He once beat Sir Richard Branson in chess and was also a question on Jeopardy!. He is an avid cyclist, a below-average tennis player, and an even worse golfer.

Is a supernatural “Joel's Army” really coming? We're dissecting this popular charismatic teaching and asking: What does the Bible actually say about Joel 2?For decades, some in the charismatic movement have preached about a coming “Joel's Army”—an elite end-times company of believers who will march in supernatural power and usher in the Kingdom. But is that really what Joel 2 teaches? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we put the Joel 2 Army teaching under the microscope. We'll trace its origins in the Latter Rain movement, how it spread through the Kansas City Prophets, and why it never appears in church history. Most importantly, we'll go back to the text of Joel to see whether Scripture supports the idea—or if it actually teaches something very different.Join us as we debunk this popular but problematic teaching and recover the true message of Joel: a call to repentance, a promise of restoration, and the outpouring of God's Spirit on all flesh.

Ten years ago, Sydney-based artist HOSSEI took a step back from the art world to care for his sick mother. The more time they spent together, the more inspired HOSSEI became to create something especially for, about, and starring his mum.HOSSEI is an artist with a flair for colour, quirk and unbridled joy.But growing up the only son of a Persian-Australian family, it took years of hard work to convince his parents that being an artist was his destiny.HOSSEI's mother, Nahid, came around first, getting her sewing machine out to help her son make his incredible costumes.Then, it was HOSSEI's turn to support his mum, who needed a carer as her health deteriorated.As they spent more and more time together, HOSSEI was inspired to write a musical for, about and starring his cheeky, charismatic mother.The project is personal, but also has a political edge -- women in Iran aren't allowed to freely sing, dance or play music -- and so HOSSEI put his mother centre stage.Further informationRecently, HOSSEI was commissioned by Parramatta Artist Studios to update their uniform in connection with Wear it Purple Day.He has also been commissioned by the Sydney Opera House to develop a play space for the Centre for Creativity, which will be presented in January 2026.HOSSEI is currently touring his show ESSSENSSSE through regional NSW, at Bathurst Regional Gallery, Yarrila Arts and Museum in Coffs Harbour and later to Wagga Wagga Art Gallery.You can keep up to date with HOSSEI's exhibitions and news at his Instagram page.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris and presented by Richard Fidler, executive producer is Nicola Harrison.It explores visual arts, performing arts, becoming an artist, how to be an artist, carers, caring for parents, the sandwich generation, Persia, Iran, womens rights, feminism, musical theatre, experimental art, Western Sydney, Sydney College of the Arts, university, TAFE, tertiary education, what to do after high school, graduation, Istanbul, migration, war, escape, family dynamics, sisters, kidnapping.To binge even more great episodes of the Conversations podcast with Richard Fidler and Sarah Kanowski go the ABC listen app (Australia) or wherever you get your podcasts.

https://newsongpeople.com/series/hearing-god"Hearing God" Series // Pastor TonderaiGod never designed us to hear His voice in isolation—He speaks in the context of community. From the Old Testament tabernacle, to Jesus dwelling among us, to the Spirit poured out in Acts, Scripture shows us a God who is deeply communal. In this message, Pastor Tonderai unpacks how hearing God is both a personal journey and a shared mission: we are equipped with His Spirit, responsible to speak His truth, and called to walk it out together in love and humility.Discover practical ways to discern God's voice through Scripture, prophecy, wisdom, and encouragement—while learning how to posture yourself in community with gentleness, boldness, and forgiveness. Because when we listen together, test together, and act together, we more clearly hear what God is saying to His Church.Key Scriptures: Exodus 25:8, John 1:14, Acts 2, Ephesians 1:3, 2 Peter 1:3, Ezekiel 3, 1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4, and more.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #TonderaiBassoppoMoyo #Community #VoiceOfGod

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by Taylor from GemmaintheRough (on Instagram and TikTok) to talk about her journey as a charismatic, non-denominational Christian leading worship at her church to a full-blown conversion to Catholicism. Taylor's story is amazing as she asks incredible questions about how and why her non-denominational church worshipped the way they did – and how the Early Church worshipped differently!How could they have weekly "altar calls" without an altar? How could they claim to "worship" God without offering any kind of sacrifice in the biblical pattern? This and so much more makes up Taylor's awesome conversion story. She is cordial, enthusiastic, and so articulate. You don't want to miss this episode.For more from Taylor find her on Instagram and TikTok.Send your feedback to cordialcatholic@gmail.com.

On this week's show ask the question: “What Happened to DLNA Technology” We also read your emails and the week's news. Also, say hi to Evelyne, our virtual news reader. News: Plex warns users to update systems immediately after detecting worrying security issue Samsung's $30K Micro RGB TV Is Here Sling TV launches single day, weekend, week-long pass options Apple's new ‘Charismatic' smart home OS is getting set to take on Alexa and Google What Happened to DLNA Technology?  DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) technology, once a popular standard for sharing media like photos, videos, and music between devices on a home network, has largely faded from prominence.  Here's a concise overview of what happened: Peak Popularity (2000s–Early 2010s): DLNA, introduced in 2003, enabled seamless media streaming between certified devices like TVs, computers, smartphones, and gaming consoles. It was widely adopted by manufacturers (e.g., Sony, Samsung, LG) and supported by software like Windows Media Player. By 2010, millions of devices were DLNA-certified, with a focus on interoperability and ease of use. Decline in Relevance: Rise of Proprietary Ecosystems: By the mid-2010s, companies like Apple (AirPlay), Google (Chromecast), and Amazon (Fire devices) pushed proprietary streaming protocols that integrated tightly with their ecosystems, offering smoother user experiences and cloud-based features DLNA lacked. Complexity and Inconsistency: DLNA's interoperability was hampered by inconsistent implementation across devices. Some devices supported only specific file formats or had clunky interfaces, frustrating users. Shift to Cloud and Apps: The rise of streaming services like Netflix, Spotify, and YouTube shifted media consumption to app-based, cloud-driven platforms. DLNA's focus on local network sharing became less relevant as users prioritized internet-based content. Emerging Standards: Technologies like Miracast, Wi-Fi Direct, and Bluetooth offered simpler or more versatile alternatives for device-to-device connectivity, further eroding DLNA's niche. DLNA's End (2017): The DLNA organization officially dissolved in 2017, ending certification and development. While some devices and software (e.g., Plex, VLC) still support DLNA for backward compatibility, it's no longer a focal point for manufacturers or consumers. Current Status: DLNA remains functional on older devices, but it's largely been supplanted by modern protocols and platforms. For example, smart TVs now rely on app ecosystems or protocols like Google Cast. Some enthusiasts still use DLNA for local media servers, but it's a niche use case. From our archives (June 2012) What's missing? So if you've tried any of the DLNA servers out there, you've probably seen how bare they are.  With so many consumer electronics devices supporting DLNA playback, it seems a really good DLNA server would sell like hotcakes.  Here's what we think the perfect DLNA server would do. Support Transcoding.  Some DLNA Servers support transcoding, but not all of them.  Transcoding allows the server to change the format of the video your watching or song you're listening to to something that the player can actually play back.  Otherwise you'll get a bunch of failures trying to play back stuff like DivX and Xvid. Support Cover Art.  Most DLNA servers will just grab a video frame out of a movie file and display it as a thumbnail.  Why not replace that with the actual cover of the movie?  They're easy to find online.  It might take a little more setup up front to get all the covers downloaded and in the right place, but it would be worth it. Categorize videos.  A few of the servers support a limited amount of categorization for video files, but what you'd really like to do is tag a movie with a genre, a year, rating, actors, director, producer, etc. and use any of those pieces of information to find the right movie. Built-in DVD backup.  Consumers want a way to backup their movies.  DVDs don't last forever.  Allow a user to create a backup copy of their DVD on a hard drive.  Of course they'll also be able to watch it from any network connected DLNA player, but that's just a slight benefit of the nifty backup feature.  Of course, if you could then provide the built-in... Connection to IMDB.  Allow users to automatically populate cover art and meta data info by selecting the correct movie from an online database like IMDB.  This would greatly simplify the chore of adding movies to a video library.  While this tends to be a one-time event (once per movie at least), it can be painful and tends to wear on you after a while. Support online sources.  Right now PlayOn is the only server we've found that supports online video sources.  It, however, doesn't support local sources.  It looks like that functionality will be coming soon, but the two ideas need to merge for a really great product.
