Mediatomb

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.
