This article describes how to create a DLNA server running on a NB2800 router.
ReadyMedia (formely known as MiniDLNA) is a smooth and powerful DLNA server.
All preparations made are described in these articles: How to set up a NB2800 File Server
If you need instructions on how to set up a LXC Container on NB2800 Routers, you can refer to this page: http://wiki.netmodule.com/app-notes/virtualisation.
To install Readymedia, type
apt-get install minidlna
To configure ReadyMedia, go to its configuration file
nano /etc/minidlna
Here you can set all necessary parameters to run ReadyMedia at your wishes:
If you want to store all of your media files in one folder, set this folder at
media_dir=/home/Media
If you want to store your files in folders seperated by its type, you have to set
media_dir=A,/home/Media/Musik media_dir=V,/home/Media/Videos media_dir=P,/home/Media/Bilder
Under
friendly_name=My_DLNA_Server
you can give your DLNA server a name that is displayed on the clients.
Set
inotify=yes
to let ReadyMedia scan your folder for new media files to keep your clients up to date.
After setting all parameters, start ReadyMedia typing
service minidlna start
If you want to check out the servers status, you can do that with entering http://IP-address-of-your-server:8200 .
For viewing media files over DLNA, you just need a client device (such as a TV oder a Set Top Box) or a DLNA app (e.g. VLC Player). With these, you can easily access to all files stored on your ReadyMedia server.
