Mediatomb and UPnP

Puppy linux and Mediatomb Media Server for DLNA and UPnP

The following is for Mediatomb Version 12
I usually create .pets for easy removal if unwanted

autoconf > 2.6 is required
http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/
untar

./configure
make
make install DESTDIR=/root/test/autoconf-2.65

Download Mediatomb:
svn co http://svn.mediatomb.cc/svnroot/mediatomb/trunk/mediatomb mediatomb

cd to mediatomb directory and:
autoreconf -i
./configure
make
make install DESTDIR=/root/test/mediatomb

Install mediatomb.pet
make sure /root/.mediatomb/config.xml points to /usr/local/share/mediashare not /usr/share/mediatomb

in console:
mediatomb

it should tell you which port it's running on.

access with localhost:[port]/ in your browser
