[routers2]
I tried streaming video threw to
routers and the results sucked.
So keep the pc on the same router for best
video playback.
[software]
steaming software for linux.
[server]
MEDIAtomb its in all most all normal distros
repositories.
*mediatomb for the back end if connected via lan
on the same router.
[options]
[server]
ushare needed to be built from source on my
debian lenny pc but it's in most ubuntu repositories.
*ushare if conected to the same router over wifi.
[ushare] for streaming music to my att uverse settop box.
[why]
lan or wifi?
passwords?
mediatomb needs to be set up over its web-ui
and your going to want to set up a password for the web-ui or disable the web-ui after your done doing the setup because the web-ui exposes your entire pc file structure and files.
I like mediatomb .
The config file is located at
[ /home/"username"/.mediatomb/config.xml ]
start mediatomb up in console the kill it with Ctrl+c and then edit the config file to your own liking.

[players]
[xbmc]
playback over upnp/home-dlna with
players [xbmx or djmount with fuse]
################################
UBUNTU i use xbmc for playback.
XBMC on my lubuntu11.04 laptop it was easy to find in a ppa for xbmc so i used xbmc for playback testing over wifi.
I had gnewSense running as a mediatomb server connented via lan to a linksys router that was connected to a 2wire-wifi router that server the internet and wifi for my laptop and running threw to routers was very buggy at best using [mediatomb and xbmc]. I never did stream a entire movie because i'm easily distracted and
i don't like xbmc that much because it sucks at multitasking.
so how about i switch to two desktops connected to the same 2wire-router and with mdeiatomb and djmount.
[Meiatomb and djmount]
mediatomb running on gnewSense.
################################
DEBIAN i used.
[Mediatomb and djmount]
djmount and fuse running on Debian/lenny/mepis8
/**********************************
*** fuse and djmount a little buggy **
**********************************/
Djmount compiled from source was a little buggy but worked.
djmount and ushare depends.
stuff like libfuse-dev and other crap
and run ldconfig for safe measures.
compile and install it normally
i think djmount it needs ./configure --enable-dlna
but i may be wrong it could be USHARE that needed that pluss lib avcodecs and devs pluss [libdlna-0.2.3.tar.bz2]
##################################
how to use fuse and djmount to mount a upnp network service.
------------------
directory= (upnp.fuse)
step1/3
su:
$ modprobe -l -t /home/"username"/upnp/upnp.fuse fuse
--------------------
then mount the upnp [mediatomb] service
step2/3
$ djmount /home/"username"/upnp/upnp.fuse
then wait for to two pc to handshake and then you can browse the upnp mount point like a normal
readonly file directory. any files added two your mediatomb server-pc should show up on your local-pc and play back fin with mplayer or some other player.
to dismount i tried [fuse] but it failed
on my debian/lenny pc so i used umount as root and that worked for me.
-------------------------------
dismount [fuse] fails:
su
fusermount -u /home/"username"/upnp/upnp.fuse
this works:
su
$ umount -l upnp.fuse
----------------------------------
a hard won victory. now i need to get some sort
of settop box that does upnp/home-dlna
