Which Media Server Do You Use?

[FizzyWidget]

I have moved my server to Linux and am looking to replace the media program I used to use on windows as it doesnt seem to be in portage, I know I could get Plex from an overlay, but wondering what other ones are out there.

I am trying out mediatomb atm, but it seems to be more trouble than it is worth, get no thumbs, and the directory structure is all messed up, and after googling it seems you need to be a script whiz to get it to import things how you would like.

What other UPnP/DLNA servers are worth a look at?

For PS3, I use net-misc/ps3mediaserver

Before, I used wizd, and i liked it, but when i bought the PS3, I couldn't use it anymore.

I'm growing increasingly fond of Xbmc after configuring it to my liking, It works well as a media server on my home network as well as when I am out and connect externally.

Hi,


I Use MediaBrowser-server :

http://mediabrowser.tv/

It acts as DLNA-server, and you can watch using a browser or andoid app.
Also transcoding is possible, so streaming to mobile devices on a lower bitrate when away from home is possible.
Furthermore it organises /downloads the additional info ( poster, actors, etc) for the media on your server-based mediafolders.

( I use XBMC on htpc's near the tv, but the media itself is on the server).

Alex.


PS: I should mention, no official ebuild, but a unoffical one is available on the megacoffee overlay

I also use net-misc/ps3mediaserver but with an LG TV straight, without the PS3 in the middle.
