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: ===
<u>Directory scanning</u><br>
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 [[File:Add_as_autoscan.png]]
* 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 (<small>/var/log/mediatomb-transcode.log</small>) and look for errors.
If you can't figure out what's wrong, fpaste the last 100 lines of the logfile (using <small>tail 100 /var/log/mediatomb-transcode.log | fpaste</small>) and paste the returned URL in the forums or on the IRC-channel.
