I am using miniDLNA zero issues, easy to setup and works with my Samsung BDC6500 wirelessly. running on a headless Maverick server, with the miniDLNA plugin for webmin.
miniDLNA : http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/
miniDLNA Webmin : http://minidlnawebmin.sourceforge.net/
my file looks like this:
Code:
# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic
port=8200
# network interface to bind to (this is the only interface that will serve files)
#network_interface=eth0
# set this to the directory you want scanned.
# * if have multiple directories, you can have multiple media_dir= lines
# * if you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you
# can prepend the type, followed by a comma, to the directory:
# + "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/home/jmaggard/Music)
# + "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/home/jmaggard/Videos)
# + "P" for images (eg. media_dir=P,/home/jmaggard/Pictures)
# media_dir=/opt
media_dir=/media/FDrive/Series
media_dir=V,/media/Ext2TBXL/television
media_dir=V,/media/Ext2TBXL/theater
media_dir=A,/media/Ext2TBXL/jukebox
# set this if you want to customize the name that shows up on your clients
friendly_name=Maverick
# set this if you would like to specify the directory where you want MiniDLNA to store its database and album art cache
db_dir=/var/cache/minidlna
# this should be a list of file names to check for when searching for album art
# note: names should be delimited with a forward slash ("/")
album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg
# set this to no to disable inotify monitoring to automatically discover new files
# note: the default is yes
inotify=yes
# set this to yes to enable support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO
enable_tivo=no
# set this to strictly adhere to DLNA standards.
# This will allow server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images which may hurt JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA products.
strict_dlna=no
# default presentation url is http address on port 80
# presentation_url=http://www.mylan/index.php
# notify interval in seconds. default is 895 seconds.
notify_interval=1800
# serial and model number the daemon will report to clients
# in its XML description
serial=12345678
model_number=1
I tried others and found that this one has been the simplest, consistent, straight forward DLNA.
Mediatomb was inconsistant, and well the samsung setup simply sucked! miniDLNA updates newly added files automatically without interruption.
