[OpenIndiana-discuss] DLNA server

[Michelle Knight]

Hi Gary,

I've had a shot with Serviio.  It seems to need a graphics console in
order to configure it, and my server is text only.

I couldn't find any instructions on manual config file settings either
in the serviio structure or in my home directory, so I'm currently a
bit stuck.

Michelle.
