Google Media Server is a Windows application that aims to bridge the gap between Google and your TV. It uses Google Desktop technology such as Desktop gadgets for the administration tool and Google Desktop Search to locate media files. All you need is a PC running Google Desktop and a UPnP-enabled device (e.g. a PlayStation 3). At the touch of a button, you can then:

    * Access videos, music, and photos stored on your PC
    * View Picasa Web Albums
    * Play your favorite YouTube videos

One of biggest difference between regular Media Servers like Windows Media Player 11 is possibility to play Internet media files, like YouTube movies.
