Oh. ... Is there any documentation that covers things like this?

By default the only videos you can share via DLNA are videos taken on the device. That's a restriction indirectly imposed by DLNA as we had to chose for a set of profiles we support. If you want to change that, drop to the shell, 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?Code:# In most cases, you would want to use the rygel-preferences UI rather than # editing this file by hand.
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.

Sorry, that's wrong. UPnP on the router is to allow any device that supports it to do basic queries about current outbound connectivity and port forwarding. That's covered by the UPnP Internet Gateway Device specification. This has absolutely _nothing_ to do with the UPnP AV specifications. You do not need a router's UPnP support to use UPnP enabled media devices in your network.
UPnP is a standardization group covering a vast amount of topics, not only media sharing.
i'm not sure if the N9 even uses upnp, but i know the ps3 does hence why i suggested it.

Again: The one in the router does port forwarding and is used in the PS3 for simplifying online gaming and in the N9 for simplifying VoIP connections.
The other one is used in the PS3 for accessing media shares and on the N9 for being one.
Those two don't have anything in common except for something called UDA which defines the basic protocols used and being standardized by a industry forum called "UPnP Forum".
Presence of the one doesn't help the other in any way.

I tried with my PS3 and every thing is showing - Video, Pictures & Music but none of them work. I can see the video files but while trying to play them it gives the format not supported. For music it shows all the album folders but nothing inside them - "No items to show". Same for other categories in the music. For pictures is just shows the category like by date etc but inside them again nothing. Any suggestion??

As for the other issues, are you sure you weren't in movie mode when trying to browse music and pictures? Happens to me all the time when I use the PS3.
