Hi all,

As always a fairly stupid question from me...

I've installed the mini dlna server app, kick it off running - all fine.
In File manager I can see that a shared media folder has been created on the fly.

But, how on earth do I add content to that folder?
Or is there a permission I need to set on Directories residing under the N900 > Files structure that needs to be applied via chmod?

Thanks
J

.........EDIT..
As always stupid...... long tap brings up the sub-menu to add folders.

First off, you are I assume using the gui to minidlna, called DLNA Server.

Anyhow, lets look at minidlna. Go to terminal and try

Code:
/usr/sbin/minidlna
and see if it spits out any error.

You should perhaps run this under "sudo" as minidlna appears to run as root rather than user.

And I would reboot after the installation if you have not done so already. Mine works just fine (both server and gui) so there is not a clear problem with either programs.

There is another server (and player combo) called dlnasender. Perhaps try it too.

Nokia-N900:~# /usr/sbin/minidlna
Interface wlan0 not found, ignoring.
[2013/04/15 01:23:19] minidlna.c:719: No IP address automatically detected!
Usage:
/usr/sbin/minidlna [-d] [-f config_file]
[-a listening_ip] [-p port]
[-s serial] [-m model_number]
[-t notify_interval] [-P pid_filename]
[-w url] [-R] [-V] [-h]

Notes:
Notify interval is in seconds. Default is 895 seconds.
Default pid file is /var/run/minidlna.pid.
With -d minidlna will run in debug mode (not daemonize).
-w sets the presentation url. Default is http address on port 80
-h displays this text
-R forces a full rescan
-V print the version number
Nokia-N900:~#
seems it only works with wlan not with gsm connection.
right?

...and you really want to be snug behind a competent firewall when you listen to /watch your favourites...

UPnP/DLNA is insecure. Google that along with "insecure" and you will see.
