Installed mediatomb with rigo now what? Where is it?

[iamk2]

If I use rigo application browser to install mediatomb should i not then have an icon for it??

If so where?? obviously it is alluding me. It does not show under applications and does not turn up when trying in the search option for applications.

I tried to use xbmc to act as a upnp host for my xbox 360 but it never popped up in system video player on the xbox 360 after I adjusted the setting to share files via upnp iunder setting for xbmc. Heard mediatomb was a better alternate then xbmc. Really dont care which is better just need to share vids with xbox 360.

Just installed sabayan yesterday with all updates.

Double checked and it says installed in rigo.

Servers usually don't come with "icons", they run in the background, "serving" something.

Check the "eselect rc" command.

I don't have mediatomb installed but it should be something along those lines:

Code: Select all

eselect rc list
eselect rc add mediatomb default
eselect rc start mediatomb


The first command (list) lists all the available services. (check for mediatomb being present there)

The second command (add mediatomb default) adds the mediatomb service to the "default" runlevel (i.e. it will automatically start at boot).

The third command (start mediatomb) starts the mediatomb service right away (i.e. no need to reboot).

I see where to install from and completed that process. But now what - it says installed but how do open the WUI.

I run mediatomb on my linux box. Like it was said before, it doesn't have an icon, it runs in the background. It's actually very nice like that.

Here's what I did after installing

Code: Select all

#rc-update add mediatomb default
#/etc/init.d/mediatomb start

The first command makes it start when you restart your computer. You'll never have to start it again, yay!
The second one makes it start right now (much easier than rebooting).

Mediatomb's default port is 49152. So, from the computer you are hosting it from, open up your browser and go to:
localhost:49152

From there, you can add directories and stuff for files to be shared.

Oh...well. So I use it to stream to my ps3. Apparently mediatomb can't stream to the xbox 360 for some reason.

From http://mediatomb.cc/pages/documentation

Code: Select all

--enable-mrreg-service

Default:

    disabled

This option will enable the compilation and support of the X_MS_MediaReceiverRegistrar UPnP service, this was implemented for future Xbox 360 support. If you have a renderer that requires this service, you can safely enable it. It will always return true to IsValidated and IsAuthorized requests.

Note:

    eventhough this service is implemented there is still no Xbox 360 support in MediaTomb, more work needs to be done.

So it doesn't sound like mediatomb is what you're going to want for streaming to your 360. Sorry about that.

Asked few days ago for adding ps3mediaserver to Sabayon

[greendave8]

I am running ps3mediaserver at the moment. Just download it to a folder and hit the "sh" icon. Stream from your linux box to the ps3.

I also use mediatomb, and it only runs from the command line.
