Hi ,

I installed rygel , i launched commandline rygel abd nothing happened. Server Rygel is not working.

I am on N900 PR 1.1 and using rygel 0.4.8-2

Questions :
How to configure the rygel.conf for sharing ?
How to launch the rygel-preferences ?
Where are the logs


Thanks for answering
Cya

You shouldn't need to do anything. When you start rygel from the command line 'nothing happens' (no debug/info messages) but you can see that N900 is in the list of UPnP servers.

On the n800 I'm using the builtin media player and it works fine with music and videos.
For the server side I use python-coherence which has a lot of plugins to present other things to clients. You can have a view per folder or per tag, display picasa album,...

One of the developpers of coherence is usually on irc (username:dev) and he told me that coherence runs also on n900, but I can not confirm...

Dont get too happy mate. I use nullriver media link upnp server. It seeminglessly streams to my PS3. The n900 can see the Upnp Server but content is never actually displayed in media player. Brisa media server doesnt actually work from the repo as It has some installation problems.

does anyone know why; when you stream media from windows 7 the n900 DLNA client will not see more than a certain amount....as an example windows media server has a list of hundreds of movies in it how ever when you refresh the media player on the n900 it only sees about 90 films, why wont it pick up the other several hundred? is there a limit or something? errrr or bug???

It might be two things. First, if you don't have some or all of the extra gstreamer codecs installed, I'm not sure the mediaplayer will recognize certain files. Second, the mediaplayer is not that flexible about mime types. For instance, I'm running the mediatomb UPnP server and it's default export mime type for ogg-vorbis files is something like:

application/vorbis+ogg

I had to change it to:

audio/vorbis+ogg

before the files would be recognized by mediaplayer. The file manager is more flexible. See if you can see some of those invisible media server files with it. If so, you might have one or both of the problems I described.

I have same issue.
Using MediaTomb on Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64-bit
My files are Ogg Vorbis music files
N900 can see MediaTomb server and will let me navigate down to artist and then album folder, but then says no files found.

I tried your audio/ogg tip but that hasn't helped.

Anyone else had this problem and fixed it?

Thanks

Stone the crows.
I just emptied all the contents of the MediaTomb database and reloaded the music from the Filesystem and now the N900 sees the music files AND plays them.
Not sure which step fixed it, but it works now.
(P.S. Some albums have 2 of each track which might be something to do with it. A bug in MediaTomb?)
Anyway, works now.
Thanks!
