Optional Internet Streaming:
More than just regular LAN streaming, BubbleUPnP offer the unique feature to stream efficiently your media via the Internet over a mobile or WiFi connection. Internet streaming requires installing server software “BubbleUPnP Server” running on Windows, MacOS X, Linux or a NAS (it is not required for regular LAN streaming, see NOTE below).
