[OpenIndiana-discuss] DLNA server

[Hans J. Albertsson]

I second the serviio recommendation.

the ffmpeg in the OI SFE-encumbered repository has been updated recently 
to 1.1.2, and compiled with the right bits to manage everything incl 
subtitling in serviio, so you no longer absolutely need to compile 
ffmpeg yourself.

Setting up the right profile for your player is crucial: Join the forum 
at forum.serviio.org to discuss your efforts if the standard profile db 
doesn't include your HW.

Most networked media players don't handle all possible codings, and even 
the container format can be a problem; so serviio's extensive 
transcoding/remuxing abilities do come in handy.

I have a minimal SMF service definition available, just inquire.
