DLNA - Where do I reach my files??

Hi,

This will sound like a super stupid question. I enabled DLNA on my b3. Now Where do I find my movies (which are in /home/storage/video) using my media player (totem, VLC, etc) on my laptop on the same LAN ?

Is it something like DLNA://b3.local ? (This one doesn't work).

I couldn't find that in the manual. It's probably an obvious url, but I don't know it.

Thanks - I really feel n00b.

The protocol is named UPnP ;)

Not sure if you can do some kind of URI lookup though. It's an advertising protocol, so you should see it inside any UPnP/DLNA enabled hardware and software. In VLC, pop up the playlist and it should show under "Local Network".

For me it generally takes a while for the B3 to show up on the server list, not exactly sure why, but this may be your problem as well.
