I've been trying without success for sometime now to find a linux upnp renderer. I've tried to install gmediarender but it will not install on my laptop. I have tried XBMC but was hoping for something a bit lighter (like geexbox). Something that comes in a live cd form would be best.

I have been trying to find something that does this for some time now and discussions on IRC didn't turn up anything usefull - thats why this post for a prolonged discussion I have Ubuntu Server 10.4 installed (no X) and am trying to use it as an upnp media renderer. I would like to be able to playback their music on the servers soundcard from various devices. Thus it would be nice to have the ubuntu server expose an upnp media-renderer which one can use as an output device.
Is there a suggestion on which software to use? What I already have working is an upnp media-server (mediatomb) with ampache, but this isn't really what I'd like since I don't have as much disk-space on the server as I have on the various computers.
I downloaded an FLV video and placed an extra MP3 file over it. Two files. Total: 30 MBI experimented with about seven rendering containers, and QuickTime renderer was the only rendering container that didn't result in sped-up/compressed video or correct rendering for just fifteen seconds.How in the name of all that is holy did this rendering end up with 570 extra MB?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am a complete newbie to linux and Fedora, having previously used Windows/Vista. I have a Netgear router which is configured to allow upnp, and i use deluge as my bittorrent client, though would use either transmission or deluge. I used deluge on windows and upnp worked fine, but now i am usisng fedora with the same settings it doesnt work.
In Deluge (or Transmission) UPnP is ticked and i have limited port range to on port say 57000. In Router config UPnP is ticked. In the Fedora firewall i have gone in and set it up to allow the specified port, say 57000 in other ports.
It seems that with ufw enabled It is impossible for upnp applications to negociate with the network router the ports they need to be opened. Is there any way to make ufw and upnp work together?

Yes, the port that I'm trying to open is also allowed. Router is a Linksys BEFSR41 v4.3, should you care

I've got a ps3 and a Pinnacle Soundbridge, suitable for this protocol and working fine with mt-daapd or ushare. But I would like to use mplayer and making the sound available to my devices.

I just ran some system updates today. MySQL was among them. after rebooting. I got a message I haven't seen since I was first installing several months ago. I couldn't connect to the database.
At first, I freaked out because I didn't know what to do. I tried checking my passwords, but I still don't understand all the configuration for MySQL. I tried reconfiguring the myth packages, but couldn't get through the setup. It would just bounce me out after a few attempts because of incorrect password sets.
I finally figured out, from the logs, that MySQL hadn't logged anything since it's 'successful shutdown' after the updates. It hadn't even tried to come on. I started it manually and everything seems to be fine, but how do I get it to start at startup again?
I have a setup with a mythtv backend that streams media via the built in upnp to two xbox 360s. This works perfect at the moment. However I need a command/script that can identify if either of the two xbox's are connected via upnp. I need this so that I can have the system auto shutdown if no one is connected using the existing mythtv sleep wake features. (Basically if a script returns 1 then dont shutdown if returns 0 then shutdown.)
Code:
if upnp is connected then
dont shutdown
else
shutdown
fi
Thanks

Is there a multimedia application for linux that has uPnP media sharing similar to MS windows media player?

View 4 Replies View RelatedI've got a solid PC w/Xeon dual core, 4gb RAM, and (2) 1Tb Sata HDs - looking to replace a WinXP pc that currently is running PlayOn (for media to the BD player on the TVs) and sharing folders/drives to all the PCs (WinXP, Win7, OSX, and Ubuntu.
I have tried a few distros to get media shared to the BD players, and even a Win7 - but the BD players can't seem to play any of the video files on the newer 'servers' - and only the Win7 even appears to the Sony TV in the living room (even though it can only browse the folders with video files). Another problem with the Win7 being tested for acting as a server - is the Macs cant seem to access the shares (get Access Denied errors).
Wondering if there is any good distro that is mainly setup for sharing files and storage space to all my devices. Thinking of trying FreeNAS, and seeing if I could add the UPnP/DNLA server packages to it?
I have a program called "PortForward" to do the job in Windows... But I've been searching for the better part of 2 hours trying to find one for Linux.
I can use the router's admin interface, but it limits the number of forwards you can add. And I would like to be able to add more simply because the applications I need to forward aren't already included.

I'm not sure what changed but when I recently upgraded via yum to Kernel 2.6.34 none of my uPnP or DLNA apps show up on my tvs (Sony TV and PS3). Booting an older version, i.e. 2.6.33 solves the problem with no other changes. I use MediaTomb, MythTV uPNP server and Serviio. All work fine except with the newest kernel.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI setup Mediatomb on another box in my house to connect to with XBMC. XBMC will only connect though if the firewall is off on the local machine. I have both TCP and UCP ports 1900 and 50500 (the port for Mediatomb) enabled on my laptop (local) and the correct ports are open on the remote machine (my wife's vista laptop will connect through XBMC). I can connect to Mediatomb through it's web interface (to set visible folders/files) but not through UPnP (at least not through XBMC)
View 9 Replies View RelatedI have just recently switched my setup to have my server be in the middle of traffic and act as my new router while making my other routers just switches. However, after doing this I can no longer access my UPnP devices. They used to show up in my router but I am assuming either there is an issue with my iptables rules or that some how having my server run the dhcp and dns routing is messing with UPnP.

The program seems to be Mac only tho.
i run ubuntu 9.10. i have updated all installed packages. i run a 32bit 3.6 ghz intel p4 dual core with three monitors running on two video cards. all this works correctly. i am able to play video in video player and audacious2 on any monitor.
i'm trying to run a upnp media server for my house. myself and both my tenants have playstation 3s, and i would like to host music, music videos, original content, and the backup copies of legally purchased dvds over the network. i recently converted from windows xp, and all of my media files were created by vlc on windows xp, ripped with winamp, edited and rendered with sony vegas, or downloaded from videos. i have tried both mediatomb (from the repository) and fuppes (from subversion) and had the same result with both.
basically, whenever the media center tries to populate the database and search the files, ffmpeg returns an error that crashes the media center. i do not know enough to implement better error handling in the source. both media servers, when running in the terminal, eventually return the same error message when scanning my sepearate hard drive for media. (~100gb of mp3, avi, mpeg, and mp4 files)
error code: /build/buildd/ffmpeg-0.5+svn20090706/libavformat/mov.c:1456: mov_read_trak: assertion `st->duration % sc->time_rate == 0' failed.
the process then ends.the weird thing is that this does not happen when i disable mp4 files in mediatomb (although i have not figured out how to replicate this feature in fuppes) so i have reason to believe that something in the metadata for mp4 files is throwing ffmpeg off. even if the metadata is bad in the mp4 file, it shouldn't cause a crash.
i tried to compile mediatomb without ffmpeg support, but the ./configure script returned errors whenever i tried to append an option to the configure command. i then reinstalled all the ffmpeg packages in the symantec package manager and still no luck.
I've recently moved my media center pc from windows 7 to Ubuntu, now while on windows 7. I used the machine with XBMC and utorrent with upnp enabled on my router (Netgear WNR2000 v1) and also in the utorrent client for the port mapping. I was also able to connect to the machine from work via remote desktop (via Windows RDP, real/ultra vnc) using either a windows machine or via ubuntu that I have installed on a laptop (externally to my network). Utorrent also was able to talk to my router and ask for the ports it needed via uPnp or even by setting the port forwarding manually.
Since upgrading ( ) to Ubuntu from windows 7 on my mediacenter pc I've not been able to connect via RDP / VNC using port forwarding from the outside world although I added ports 5900 and (i beleive) 3389 to the port forwarding section in my router and pointing it to the static ip on my mediacenter. I'm also not able to get the ports to forward for deluge / vuze at all, if i manaually set port forwarding up then nothing happens and deluge says it has no incoming connections and it also doesn't talk to my router to ask for ports via upnp.
The same also holds true for the linux version of sopcast which will not connect to any streams. I can also replicate the same issue on a laptop that I use with ubuntu installed. If I watch my upnp page on my router config then I can see that my windows clients (Brother & Mom's macine) both talk to the router and ask it for ports so I assume that the router is working as it should be but obviously the fault happens when my ubuntu )10.04.1) clients ask for any kind of ports. By default is there any kind of firewall installed on ubuntu or anything I need to do to allow it to ask for upnp connections?
Rhythmbox plays local m4a files no problem. I have a few upnp servers running on other machines around the house, mediatomb, tvmobili, vuze, mythtv. Rhythmbox is setup with the coherence plugin and happily plays mp3 from these servers but it cannot 'see' any m4a files via upnp, even though it can play the same files if i copy them to the machine that is running rhythmbox.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt even has a great android app. It does a great job automatically organizing all my movie and tv show files. I was though quite disappointed when i found out it didnt have upnp support anymore and therefore would not stream things to my WD TV Live, etc.
I know how to easily setup a dlna server using minidlna or ushare, but neither would automatically refresh my file listings (if you tried a cron, it would interrupt the current stream and of course I would prefer as close to real time updates as possible). It also of course didnt provide any automatic naming/organizing/images of the videos that Plex would do.
Any recommendations on what might be available out there that would provide all the features I mentioned above, but would provide the data in a more standard format like upnp/dlna instead of the proprietary format that Plex offers? I am also open to ideas that would get Plex to work with the WDTV Live.
Is there a utility to forward ports on a simple home networking wireless router from commandline using upnp?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI know that this question has been asked many times across many forums and last night, I finally figured out how to do it from Windows. I'll post the procedure for an existing Linux distro later. "Is it possible to run a LiveCD iso off of the hard drive?" Yes it is. Here's how:
1. Download the Fedora LiveCD from here.
2. An .iso file is basically like an archive; except that it's made for CDs. Extract the entire file into a vfat, ext3, or ext2 partition. I use WinRAR (for Windows) as my extractor. IMPORTANT: This method won't work if you extract the file into a NTFS partition.
3. Install UNetbootin and run it. Select "Fedora" as the distribution and "10 Net_Install" as the version. At the bottom of the dialogue screen, under type, select "Hard Drive" and next to that, select your partition (C:, D:, etc.).
4. Press OK. Unetbootin will install a basic GRUB bootloader. When it promts you to restart, press Cancel. You don't want to restart... yet...
5. Browse to your Windows partition (most likely C. You should see a folder called "unetin". Browse into that folder and you'll see a file called "menu". Open it with Notepad.
6. Paste this text at the bottom of the file:
title Fedora LiveCD
root (hdx,x) "NOTE: Replace hdx,x with your partition holding the extracted iso. Most likely, it'll be either (hd0,0), (hd0,1), or (hd0,2)"
[code]...
7. Restart and select "Unetbootin" when Windows shows your Bootloader. Wait 3 seconds and press Esc.
8. Select "Fedora LiveCD" and press enter. You should boot into the LiveCD. It might be slow, so be patient and it'll come up.
EDIT: COMMON MISTAKES AND ERRORS:
1. Grub Error 15: File not found: It's likely that you made a typo in the menu file or that you didn't set your /dev/xxx (hdx,x) parameters correctly. Try changing those around and it should work.
I have Ubuntu installed on my pc and it's just the way I like it setup. I want to make a LiveCD.
There was a tutorial (sorry can't remember URL) for remastersys but it was obviously obsolete as the lines to add to the repository were no longer live.
What is the absolute easiest way to create a LiveCD, hopefully something that is GUI based.
Other distro's have the ability to remaster (or make), a live cd of their install, is there an easy way to do this with Opensuse?
My thoughts are primarily with a fresh install complete with all updates, then make a live cd. In the event of a disaster a simple install from the live cd would get an updated version back again without the headache of installing updates, codecs etc...
Ubuntu has remastersys, PcLinuxOs can make Live cd's by a default app but i've not seen such things for Opensuse versions >= 11.1.
I seem to have a knack for having systems built that OpenSuse doesn't like. I remembered this afternoon why I gave up on 11.x - the 11.4 LiveCD doesn't like my setup, at least in terms of booting into a GUI. I have uploaded two photos I took of the bootup screen, in case the provide information that might be helpful. I am sorry about the shakiness, I have CP and the the 2nd one is harder to read because of that, but it says something about "amd radeon hd 6800 series (chip ID 0x6738) requires KMS" among other things.
Even though I'm really rusty in CLI, I'm happy to give it a go, to get this working, if possible. The two screenshots are [URL]
FWIW, the 11.4 LiveCD also really didn't like the NVIDIA GeForce 7000M / nForce 610M in my old Acer Aspire 5520 either.
I have a Ubuntu, Kubuntu 9.10 live CD which I know work because I have installed on my other computer, (HP Pavillion ze2000), and also linux mint 8 and openSUSE 11.2, which also run/work. However when I put them in my current computer and restart, the computer simply ignores them and carries on with vista. I have been testing out the live CD's on VirtualBox and on my second computer and they look pretty nifty But the computer just ignores them as if they weren't there.
Specification :
Hp Pavillion dv6 notebook PC
Windows Vista service pack 2
AMD athlon X2 Dual Core
2.00 GB RAM
32 bit
X86-based PC
I'm trying to run Ubuntu off the Livecd but when I start my imac it ignores the cd in the superdrive. Any suggestions?
