Anyone using Boxee with a UPnP server running on their Mac?

I want a recommendation for a UPnP server I can install on my Mac to share videos and play via Boxee on my Apple TV.

Elgato's Eye Connect? Fuppes? MediaTomb? TwonkyVision?

Update: I installed Elgato's Eye Connect on my Macbook. I also have Boxee installed on my Macbook. Boxee did not find my UPnP source. I also tried adding it manually as upnp://127.0.0.1 with no luck.

Try MediaLink by Nullriver http://www.nullriver.com/products/medialink. It is billed as a ps3 media server, but its just like EyeConnect, but MUCH cheaper.

Boxee sees my Elgato Eye Connect on my Mac Mini. I use it to bring iTunes podcasts from my Mac to my living room.

Dave: Are you running Boxee and EyeConnect on the same system?

XBMC can function as a upnp media server. it works with the ps3... but im getting too many network errors (80710736 specifically). the video plays, but errors keep coming and sometimes it stutters.

i thought boxee would also act as a upnp server, but apparently not...
