For more information, please consult the MediaTomb Transcoding documentation. But does not actually support DNLA DLNA Note MediaTomb doesn't implement the DLNA specification and is not a DLNA media server. It does however offer basic support for some DLNA devices e.g. PlayStation 3. To enable DLNA support, set the extend attribute to yes for the <protocolInfo> element. File/etc/mediatomb/config.xml <protocolInfo extend="yes"> If you have a DLNA enabled TV (e.g. Samsung), add the following section in between the <server> and </server> elements. File/etc/mediatomb/config.xml <custom-http-headers> <add header="transferMode.dlna.org: Streaming"/> <add header="contentFeatures.dlna.org: DLNA.ORG_OP=01;DLNA.ORG_CI=0;DLNA.ORG_FLAGS=01500000000000000000000000000000"/> </custom-http-headers> </SNIP> Interface is dated and on mobile phones it can take a long time to load say 2000 music listings. -- ________________________________________________________________________ Regards Kevin Lucas Minions Post Master(Sub) A dedicated Linux user /usr/bin/microsoft Skype minions_shop www.minionsbandb.co.uk www.tearooms.minionsbandb.co.uk FaceBook Minions_shop Po House, Minions, Liskeard Cornwall PL14 5LE 01579363386 -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
