Need help with setting up mediatomb again

[nick85]

Hi,
I have deleted mediatomb from the system, and then rebuilt it from source again, and it is now fully functioning with srt support for Samsung TVs etc...

Now I wish to have it started on system boot, as a service and to be able to control it through the web admin interface (by the enable/disable upnp service). And I assume it should also be runned by user account "mediatomb".


Can anyone help me to get this set up?


Thanks in advance!

Here's my script from /etc/init.d/mediatomb
Enable on startup via

Code: Select all

chkconfig mediatomb on

Thanks... I have now solved it.
It was also necessary to enable UPnP streaming in the B3 web admin interface.

What exactly is happening on the system when I enable/disable "UPNP streaming" under Administration / Services in the B3 web admin interface?

[Eek]

It stops or starts mediatomb

[nick85]

Yes, but which command is thrown? It cannot simply be /etc/init.d/mediatomb start/stop
Something else must happend. Because when I have it disabled, mediatomb will not autostart on boot. But when it is enabled it will. So it must change some config file somewhere?

It shuts it down/starts it up, and adds/removes symlinks to the init script from/into /etc/rcN.d;

Notice by the way that the upgrade today will replace mediatomb with minidlna.

[nick85]

Why are you replacing mediatomb with minidlna? Any specific reason? So if I update my B3 box using the web interface you will remove mediatomb for me? How can I prevent that from happening? I want to continue running Mediatomb - for me it is THE DLNA server.

The main reason for switching to MiniDLNA is that it works on both PS3 and Xbox360, which mediatomb doesn't. Mediatomb won't get uninstalled, only deactivated, you can manually reactivate mediatomb if you want.

[johannes]

And to note: Mediatomb is not a DLNA server, it's UPnP. It lacks support for many modern devices.

[nick85]

Thanks for the replies.
