Other alternatives without contrib to consider:

Installation

It is as simple as that:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-mediatomb
signal-event conf-mediatomb
config set UnsavedChanges no

Before, you can choose to add the upstream repo from where we pick rpms, but this is not mandatory as we copy the needed rpm regularly to smecontribs when updated

yum install  smeserver-extrarepositories-epel smeserver-extrarepositories-rpmfusion -y
signal-event yum-modify
config set UnsavedChanges no
