dlna

Hi there, I'd appreciate an instruction for setting up VLC stream to my Sony 55X9500H TV. The TV supports DLNA. There are some instructions on internet but it seems no one cares to write a good one. My case is very simple. The FreeBSD host machine and TV are in the same LAN, 192.168.0.x. VLC...

Hi, I discovered an issue with minidlna. After a couple of days of running, minidlna is starting to listen on all of my network interfaces and using multiple ports although I configured to listen on only the internal network interface. I don't know what to do with it! I am thinking to...

Hello good people, I would like to have a file/entertainment server but headless. 1. Is this possible? I did some researches but nothing notable came up. 2. The server will house music and videos and serve them using minidlna. Is this possible? I know I can remote into FreeBSD machines from...

I am looking to build a very simple home media server. What I would like is to go to my laptop, open up my favourite music or video player, click "file -> open", see my storage as another drive, and play my stuff (stream it - without waiting for it to download first). This will not be a...

Hi, I'm running FreeBSD barracuda 12.1-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 12.1-RELEASE-p3 GENERIC amd64 as a desktop machine at home. Some months ago I bought a Seagate Expansion Portable Drive (1 TB SSD USB 3 external drive). It comes with an NTFS partition. I kept it like that as I use it, among other...

I've installed net/minidlna and am looking for a client to test it with. Any suggestions? Tried multimedia/vlc and multimedia/kodi but neither find my server. Is there anything available like a simple text mode dlna client?

FreeBSD with ZFS for Recording TV using HDHomeRun tuners Disclaimer: I can't make any promises that any of the included information is correct, just that it appears to be working for me. I've had this setup for about 2 months now, recording TV for approximately 18 hours a day, generally two...

Hi I am trying to run minidlna (v1.2.1,1) on a FreeBSD 11.1-RELEASE system with a GENERIC kernel. I am not using jails. The issue I am seeing is that clients do not see the server unless the server is restarted (or maybe a very high timeout is passed?). Once they "find" each other, everything...

Hi I'm trying to set up a miniDLNA server inside a jail. When it's inside a jail, my LAN clients cannot access it. But if miniDLNA is installed outside of the jail, my LAN clients can successfully access it. My jail has it's private IP (192.168.60.3) address on host's lo1 interface. I then...

I've been using multimedia/plexmediaserver for a few years and in the grand scheme of things it seems like a decent media server system. Although I guess like a lot of other good application programs, scope creep and the resultant bloat sets in. But that's fine we just buy more cpu and ram...

Hello When I do: root@server:~ # service minidlna stop Stopping minidlna. Waiting for PIDS: 31181 this won't exit minidlna only by ctrl+c and in top the service is still there: 31181 dlna 2 39 19 155M 17064K uwait 0:00 0.00% minidlnad I can stop it only by this: kill -KILL...

Hello everybody, I have just registered here because I am planning a project where I think FreeBSD could be the ideal OS. I am currently running a dual boot system with Arch Linux and Windows 10. Both systems have FDE, Linux with LUKS (LVM) and Windows with Bitlocker, so data can not be easily...

Hi, I was trying to find available options to stream to my apple tv. Firstly, if anyone found a way to do it please let me know :) Having said that, i came across this gem https://github.com/unused/airstream I tried to install it but I'm getting this error ERROR: Error installing...

Hello everyone, I'm new in the word of FreeBSD and more on firewall ... I'm struggle with building a good pf.conf in order to run plex media server inside a jail. I don't know if I'm in the right topic, but after many try I guess is due to pf rules. So here is my /etc/rc.conf...

So I stumbled upon this port: multimedia/tvheadend, and found a page with screenshot: https://tvheadend.org/boards/5/topics/10512?r=14541 Anyone have a nice setup going involving an OTA (Over The Air) HDTV tuner card, and have it streaming to remote devices? While web browsers are nice on the...

I am trying to install samba onto a FreeBSD box for a file server. but I am having a few issues. 1. I do not have nor want a domain controller, 2. when I installed samba43 I get no conf file. I have done hours of searching and the closest info that I have been able to find is several years old...

I have cut the cord to cable-tv, and replaced that with recording tv with an over the air recording device. I serve all that content with my FreeBSD/plex media server. AWESOME combination!! One thing is missing; the ability to extract the closed captioning information and make it available to...

I’m wondering if it's possible to use FreeBSD for home server purpose. And I want to know which is better for that purpose: FreeBSD vs RHEL 7 VS Oracle Solaris 11? Which one fits my purpose? And what are the steps and tools I need to do that? And if it's FreeBSD , I want to install Gnome! :D BTW...
