Thanks. I had to reboot to get the change noticed. Is there a more elegant way?
Should work by just dis- and enabling sharing again.

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.
That behaviour is usually an indication for a bug in the client ignoring backward compatibility guarantees.

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.
What version did you install? What back-end are you using?
