Mcdhs:

Working page for [http://www.amahi.org/apps/dlna Amahi DLNA], the Amahi port of [http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/ MiniDLNA]. It makes your Amahi HDA the best media server for all your clients. (NOTE: we have another media server called [[UShare]])

== Tips ==

* You need the two RPMFusion apps installed before this one for things to work.
* You can configure it's options in a text file in:

/var/hda/apps/dlna/amahi.conf

* It has some Tivo support
* It picks up new files added automatically (as opposed to uShare)

== WD TV Live ==

At the moment, with a [http://www.westerndigital.com/en/products/Products.asp?DriveID=735 WD TV Live] player, we can stream from .avi files to full 1080p content from this server.

With Matroska files it also supports subtitles in various languages and multiple audio tracks.

== PS3 ==

Notes on working state with [http://www.playstation.com/ PS3].

I've placed two different HD files on my Amahi-Server. The Amahi-Server was found by the playstation without problems but unfortunately the PS3 (slim) wasn't able to play the files. The first one has been an mkv-file with mpeg4 (h264) codec and the second one was an avi-file with mpeg4 (h264). Both had 1280x720 pixels.

Playing of mp3-files has been no problem - worked fine.

== Xbox 360 ==

Notes on working state with [http://www.xbox.com Xbox 360]:

* Install Amahi-dlna
* Turn on Xbox 360 and Navigate to My Xbox
* Scroll to the right until you see Music Library
* Hit "A" on your controller.
* Amahi should be one of your choices if amahi-dlna was installed correctly.

Repeat for Picture Library.

== O!Play Air ==

Notes on working state with [http://www.asus.com/Search.aspx?SearchKey=o!play O!Play Air]

== Samsung TV with Media@ capability ==

The TV will play all media (pictures, music, movies) over WLAN/LAN, in TVs like the [http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/learningresources/tv/mediasolution/introduction.html Samsung with Media@ features], no problem.

== Windows Media Center ==

Windows 7 (Ultimate pre-release) Media Center will display pictures and play music. Video doesn't work.

== Windows Media Player 11 ==

On Windows 7 the Windows Media Player 11 shows successfully the Amahi-Server. On Windows XP this doesn't work.

== VLC Media Player ==

VLC Media Player will connect to DLNA on Mac & Linux.

On Linux you will need the CyberLink UPnP plugin.

On Mac you can click on File > Service discovery > Universal Plug'n'Play discovery.

== 4u2stream ==

The client which is available at http://4u2stream.4u2sites.com works under windows xp.

== FAQs ==

* Q: Does it support Matroska (.mkv) files?: Yes!
* Q: Can it stream .iso files?: Nope
* Q: Can it stream full DVDs: Nope, only the VOB files
* Q: Does it have support for album art and covers?: Yes!
* Q: Does it have support for subtitles?: Yes!
* Q: Does it transcode on the fly while streaming?: Nope
* Q: I added additional share locations into the config file but they do not appear!: try removing files.db under /tmp/minidlna/ and restarting the amahi-dlna service
