[OpenIndiana-discuss] DLNA server

[Gary Gendel]

Michelle,

I've had luck with serviio, a java-based DLNA server from 
http://www.serviio.org/.  I had it running recently, streaming to a Moxi 
PVR, but I'm currently using XBMC on an old mac mini I decommissioned 
for work instead.  I remember reading a thread where they had to upgrade 
libffmpeg on OpenIndiana to get the latest version running.  I believe 
this library has been upgraded in 151a7.

I've also been able to bring up MediaTomb in the past using vlc to 
transcode, but I haven't worked with that for quite a while.

The biggest drawback for the DLNA servers I tried was that I was only 
able to play, pause, and stop.  Rewind and Fast-forward wasn't possible 
from the PVR on the DLNA stream.

Good luck,
Gary
