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)

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.

  • Turn on Xbox 360 and Navigate to My Xbox
  • Scroll to the right until you see Music Library
