Your distribution should provide the necessary packages. Anyway, into it:įirst thing is to make sure you have a working JAVA runtime. There are a number of options for doing this, but the standard ones didn’t seem to work that well on my setup, so I had to get creative. The main one being getting the thing to run as a daemon. However, for me, and my headless server, it poses a few problems. This is fine for windows users, who would generally run a server with a GUI. PS3 Media Server is written in java and is GUI based. However, it has been adapted to operate with a number of different renderers, including Samsung TV’s. PS3 media server, as the name suggests, is a DLNA server focussed on the PS3 as a DLNA renderer. So having given up on mediatomb, I turned to ps3 media server. Having originally written this article based on PS3 Media Server, I’ve since also discovered other cross platform servers that work well with Samsung TVs – tvmobili and serviio – so I’ve updated this article to cover that as well. Not very helpful for their customers who run Linux, OSX or have a NAS appliance.

Rather than supporting the standard, they have written and support their own Windows only DLNA server. Sadly, Samsung seems to have not implemented the DLNA standard in a sane way, and despite following a number of guides on I found on the internets suggesting sending custom http headers to the TV, I could not get mediatomb to play nicely with the TV.ĭon’t start me on why Samsung can’t make DLNA work properly. I already have mediatomb running on my headless file/mail/web/whatever server, so I thought I’d be all ready to go. Having just bought a Samsung ‘Smart’ TV, I was very keen to take advantage of its built in DLNA media renderer.
