dlna

So I have installed VLC player a few times on a few machines and can get it to play local media fine. But I cannot get it to play content via UPnP (DLNA). My (FreeBSD based) server shows up in the UPnP view but that is as far as I get. I can access the same server through many other devices in...

Hello, Over the past few months I have posted several times regarding an issue I experienced when upgrading the version of Plex media server. I believe the issue is related to my firewall ruleset so was hoping to get some help. I will do my best to explain what I have experienced: Several...

Is there an implementation of DLNA for FreeBSD?

I have a very strange problem. When I install FreeBSD 10, I install minidlna server and it works fine. But when I update my system source via svn and build and install fresh world and kernel (generic kernel, I've just changed IDENT-string), minidlna does not work - clients can't see it, but I...

Hi, Can anyone recommend a FreeBSD solution that will let me stream videos in a "live broadcast" fashion? That is, I would like to have a playlist of video files that will be played in sequence from a server. Clients connect using a standard protocol and receive the stream of whatever is...

For a few months now I've been running FreeBSD on a general purpose household server, shared between myself and my roommates. Recently, though, I noticed something worrisome: #sockstat -4 USER COMMAND PID FD PROTO LOCAL ADDRESS FOREIGN ADDRESS ftp ftpd 11315 0...

I'm running FreeNAS 9.1, I'm a noob, but I think maybe this relates to FreeBSD so I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction. Last night I started getting messages every five minutes that look like: Aug 26 06:45:00 dlna_1 cron[50711]: _secure_path: /etc/login.conf is not owned by...

How to "link" two FreeBSD 9.1 servers together along with one remote server that is on the WAN side of my home, while the other two are on the LAN? I am trying to get Plex Media Server to show all my media on all three servers. I could have the remote one do the streaming/converting but I can't...

I am going to try and build a NAS-cum-HTPC with the following ideas on top of my head. I will appreciate if somebody gives me pointers if my thinking is in the wrong direction and if what I am trying to do is possible. Install and boot FreeBSD on a 16[ ]GB thumb drive Create a ZFS RAID-Z pool...

Hello BSD users, I have a question that I wasn't sure where to place it. I looked around on the net, and couldn't find what key words to enter to find the results I am looking for. Ok, I have purchased a program called Playon which at this moment only runs on Windows, so now I have to...

Hi, Need a little help here. I have a basic FreeBSD server with 6TB zfs pool. Several 'slices' of this pool are shared via Samba across the network. I need some help in finding the best way to stream media content to a TV. I don't mind buying a dedicated device or doing something software...

I installed minidlna to my FreeBSD 9.0 server. It appeared to be working well with some video files I already had on the server, but when I copied more files, they do not show up on my client devices. I have restarted minidlna, changed the permissions on the new files to match the old files...

Dear All, The point of this thread is: how to build a seamless NAS that could incorporate a "transcoding layer" so that any video could be played by a playstation 3? The way I do it today (very basic I recognize) is to use vuze as bittorent client and by simply drag n'drop a video file of...

Hello all, I'm a FreeBSD newbie as you can see from my presentation post. I hope this is the right place to post this thread. I'm trying to make http://www.serviio.org/ works (it's a DLNA server made in Java) but I always had the same problem. So, I'm asking you if someone can help me...

Hi I'm using FreeBSD 8.2. I am trying to install minidlna from port (net/minidlna) and during make install I got this error pw: option requires an argument -- s pw: unknown switch Error code 64 NOTE: I installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 8.2 and I used portsnap to update my port tree to...

Hello, I'm very new to this and want to install FreeBSD or maybe FreeNAS on a machine I have at home just to learn etc. Ideally, I want to be able to do all or most of the following: - Store files on server and access them remotely from anywhere as well as locally through the network -...

I had another thread with related questions here, but now that I've narrowed down the problem I think another thread with a better title is in order. I've been on a quest to get a UPnP server working on my FreeBSD box. I'm using service jails, setup as per the Handbook, for everything on the...
