Oh. ... Is there any documentation that covers things like this?
The /etc/rygel.conf config file says
Code:
# In most cases, you would want to use the rygel-preferences UI rather than
# editing this file by hand.
edit /home/user/.config/rygel.conf and change strict-sharing to false.
Thanks. I had to reboot to get the change noticed. Is there a more elegant way?

Now the n900 sees the videos. Can't play them of course - the stock media player always was useless. So I try the Seagate media player: selecting "Media on N9" now just gives an empty list. "Plug and Pray" indeed.

Googled "rygel", installed it on my desktop, run, see it on the N900 media player (no DNLA client on the N9?), see the folders for music, pictures,etc. But trying to open one just gets a permanent "wait" icon. AAARGH! At least we can rely on USB mass-storage to work.
