Description

MediaTomb enables users to stream digital media to UPnP compatible devices. The project is not maintained anymore and an active fork is available : Gerbera.


Other alternatives without contrib to consider:

  • minidlna (rpm available on Lux all and Nux Dextop for centos 6)
  • pith
  • ushare (rpm available on Nux for centos 7)
  • gerbera (rpm available on Rosa linux)
  • fuppes

Installation

It is as simple as that:

yum --enablerepo=smecontribs install smeserver-mediatomb

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
