Mini DLNA server
 

Hi all,

As always a fairly stupid question from me...

I've installed the mini dlna server app, kick it off running - all fine.
In File manager I can see that a shared media folder has been created on the fly.

But, how on earth do I add content to that folder?
Or is there a permission I need to set on Directories residing under the N900 > Files structure that needs to be applied via chmod?

Thanks
J

.........EDIT..
As always stupid...... long tap brings up the sub-menu to add folders.

First off, you are I assume using the gui to minidlna, called DLNA Server.

Anyhow, lets look at minidlna. Go to terminal and try

and see if it spits out any error.

You should perhaps run this under "sudo" as minidlna appears to run as root rather than user.

And I would reboot after the installation if you have not done so already. Mine works just fine (both server and gui) so there is not a clear problem with either programs.

There is another server (and player combo) called dlnasender. Perhaps try it too.

how the heck you want your tv to connect to your 3g phone data connection ?

...and you really want to be snug behind a competent firewall when you listen to /watch your favourites...

UPnP/DLNA is insecure. Google that along with "insecure" and you will see.
