DLNA for FreeBSD?

[balanga]

Is there an implementation of DLNA for FreeBSD?

net/minidlna, net/serviio.

Install ports-mgmt/psearch:

dice@molly:~ % psearch dlna
devel/libdlna  Reference DLNA open-source implementation
multimedia/vdr-plugin-upnp Video Disk Recorder - UPnP/DLNA plugin (alpha!)
net/minidlna  Media-server compatible with "Digital Life Network Alliance"
net/serviio  Transcoding DLNA-server implemented in Java

Or use the search function on FreshPorts: http://www.freshports.org/search.php?stype=longdescription&method=match&query=dlna

I can recommend net/minidlna. Very simple to use, lightweight, and I've not had any problems using it to stream to my Android devices and XBMC clients.

I use Plex and it serves me very well.

Having read something about minidlna I've found:

MiniDLNA is a simple, lightweight alternative to MediaTomb, but has fewer features.

which begs the question: is MediaTomb available for FreeBSD?'

A quick Google search or a search on Freshports probably would have told you the answer to that: net/mediatomb.

I seem to remember using it a few years ago to stream to a PS3 and got on alright with it once I'd worked out my way round the web interface.

Whether it's actually worth installing the "full" MediaTomb rather than MiniDLNA is a question I don't know the answer to though.

I found this and had miniDLNA up and running in about 30 minutes. I learned a few things along the way too.

Or a simple make -C /usr/ports search name=mediatomb of course

Update for the topic:
on FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE-p10
net/minidlna has problems with discovery in several seconds after service has started wich is critical for dlna server, nowadays minidlna is called ReadyMedia
net/mediatomb works perfectly but no longer supported, it's place took Gerbera (not in ports yet)

Gerbera looks fairly straightforward to compile and install.

...except that it's removed ;-)
https://www.freshports.org/net/gerbera/ is however in ports tree
