[OpenIndiana-discuss] DLNA server

[Andrej Javoršek]

Hello,
@Michelle: if your workstation/desktop is some-kind of UNIX/X11 compatibile
you can use X11 forwarding by using
ssh -X username at serviio.server
than run Serviio console and it will show on your workstation/desktop (I
believe I have tried in the past end it worked.).

Regards
Andrej
