Working page for Amahi DLNA, the Amahi port of MiniDLNA. It makes your Amahi HDA the best media server for all your clients. (NOTE: we have another media server called UShare)
Contents
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 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 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 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.
