Actually I was looking for a video server, where we can access this server from any client using any web browser and play media files (video files etc) on the same network. I was thinking that minidlna will work like that, but I think I was wrong. If any one have an idea how to setup video server in puppy linux thn please share.umair wrote:hi shinobar:

Have you set 3131 as the port number on the conf file?umair wrote:but I m facing the following problem. Posting the screenshot.
Thnx for reply shinobar:shinobar wrote:Have you set 3131 as the port number on the conf file?
port=8200 is the default.
But anyway the DLNA protocol is not compatible with http.
There are some DLNA client softwars for Windows/Linux i suppose.
Or, you can use hiawatha for the http server.
@UMair, if you have any Windows PC with media files on your LAN, and your device that you want to play the media files is on the same LAN, then you need NOT install anything on any Windows PC to test what I have shared. All Windows PCs have a server feature built-in (whereas in PUPs, SAMBA must be installed).umair wrote:gcmartin:
Thnx alot for such a detailed info:
I will try SAMBA and post the results.

But substitle in the same folder (and with the same name "video_name".srt) with the movie doesnt come while viewing on another pc with vlc.
Has anyone an idea how to make it work?
Thank you for every answer.

With default settings I can get minidlna to work with pupeee. However if I use the same config file on slack 5.3 the server is not seen by any device?
Any suggestions
Hi BJF - I don't have any experience of this (just trying it now) but I have a couple of questions:BJF wrote:I plugged a usb 1Tb drive in, and altered the .conf file to point to it; sdb1. Then I did the /etc/init.d/minidlna restart command and it returned a list of hyphenated options and a ready cursor. I rebooted and repeated the restart.
