Right now I am using uShare.

Does anyone use something else?

LinuxMCE works Very well with D-link NAS's

Does it work with the DSM-520?

I recently started using MediaTomb which I am not really in love with yet, I will find a better solution or tweak this one till it performs right.
-
I've been reading on Media Tomb also and it looks like the only free one that also can transcode the media before it streams it.
-
The problem is that it is managed from a web site and the interface tends to be smooth but it bogs down to much on load.
-
Well I wouldn't have anything to manage from a web interface. All my content is in separate folders depending on what it is. This is why I like uShare. All I have to do is tell it what folders I want streamed and then it just works. When I add more content to my media server I have to restart uShare but thats fine for now.

Well when you add that folder in media tomb from the GUI, which I'm sure there must be a more direct config file, I have just been to busy to mess with it, you have to sit there as it catalogs and converts everything. My little 30 gig collection was more than I could handle, and it does not seems to have picked up the slack unattended.
In the end what it comes down to is I don't care enough about my media to make this work, ask about my FTP Apache or SSH server sometime I will tell you about how well it's running.

I use this patched version of uShare: http://netou.co.uk/?p=28
I also am running MiniDLNA (http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/) plus MiniDLNA Webmin Module (https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlnawebmin/) .
