MediaTomb is an UPnP MediaServer with an easy web user interface. It allows you to stream your digital media through your home network and listen to/watch it on a variety of UPnP compatible devices.
Configuration Options:
Directory scanning
By default, there are no directory's scanned.
To automatically scan a directory:
- click on "Filesystem"
- navigate to the directory you want to scan
- click on the
- select "Timed" and "Recursive"
- set the time between scans to your liking
- click on "Set" when done
The media in the share will now be automatically added to the database and will be available on your UPnP-ready device.
Troubleshooting:
- Transcoding of MKV-files isn't working.
Check the logfile of the transcoding process (/var/log/mediatomb-transcode.log) and look for errors. If you can't figure out what's wrong, fpaste the last 100 lines of the logfile (using tail 100 /var/log/mediatomb-transcode.log | fpaste) and paste the returned URL in the forums or on the IRC-channel.
