Quick Tip: DLNA Server on Linux (Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin)
My Samsung Smart TVs speak DLNA, my Android phones and tablets
speak DLNA – time to teach my small
headless Ubuntu home server to speak it as well.
It seems that most people are using uShare,
but I personally like MiniDLNA (aka
ReadyDLNA) better. On Precise, just install the package
# apt-get install minidlna
and create directories for Music, Pictures and Videos, for example:
# tree /dlna//dlna/
├── Music
├── Pictures
└── Videos
3 directories, 0 files
Drop your files into those directories and add some basic configuration to MiniDLNA:
# grep -o "^[a-z].*" /etc/minidlna.conf
port=8200
media_dir=A,/dlna/Music
media_dir=P,/dlna/Pictures
media_dir=V,/dlna/Videos
friendly_name=DLNA
Serverinotify=yes
enable_tivo=no
strict_dlna=no
notify_interval=900
serial=12345678
model_number=1
Now just force-reload MiniDLNA (force-reload rescans the folders)
# /etc/init.d/minidlna force-reload
and that should be it! The server now shows up on my Samsung Smart TV and on my Galaxy SIII:
From there, I can browse my files.
# /etc/init.d/minidlna stop
# /etc/init.d/minidlna start
