 * What does all this mean? When DLNA starts it automatically expects to retrieve the Amahi servers' IP address. DLNA could not get the address as the network services on the server had not yet completed start-up and configuration.

 * If you have problems where DLNA cannot see some files, it may be due to some ownership/permissions issues. You can do this (change the path and USERNAME accordingly):
-<blockquote>{{Code|cd /var/hda/files/movies && chown -R USERNAME:users *}}
+ cd /var/hda/files/movies && chown -R USERNAME:users *
-'''NOTE:'''
+'''NOTE:'''  Some Amahi applications that share the same media files require specific ownership/permissions to media directories and files.
 In the case of Fedora the following could apply:
