Airport extreme + USB Hard Drive = DLNA(?)

[Liljestrand]

My math teacher would shoot himself in the head if he saw me writing this equation.
Anywho... I got an airport extreme (4th gen) and a samsung LED tv with DLNA, which is currently working really great from Serviio client on my MacBook Pro.

My question is:
If I buy a external hard drive and connect it to my airport extreme with USB, is it possible to run the files on the hard drive through DLNA on my TV?
I don't really know how DLNA works, but I know that you need a client on your computer, so do you need a client for the hard drive/router? Or is this already installed?

DLNA is a pretty dumb protocol, meaning it cant really do much complex processing.

in order to stream DLNA, you would need the client running on a computer. I dont know of any routers that have that ability built in

Netgear do a dlna router but your extreme won't work in that way
