Freemi Upnp Installation Instructions
After the 1.80 FW last Friday I trawled the intertubes looking for a UPnP/dlna media server to install
A quick demonstration of sharing a library between XBMC devices using UPnP. These instructions should.
on my Linux box. The only one I could get working, streaming music to my PS3 was the commercial
TwonkyVision MediaServer, and commercial just ain't good enough for me. I want open source!
Luckily after a few days the guys maintaining MediaTomb released an update supporting the PS3.
To install (Ubuntu, Intel platform) just open a terminal and cut and paste the following:
$ wget http://apt.mediatomb.cc/key.asc -O- -q sudo apt-key add -
Then edit your sources list e.g. with nano:
$ sudo nano /etc/sources.list
and add the following line to the bottom:
deb http://apt.mediatomb.cc/ feisty main
Press Ctrl-O to save, and Ctrl-X to exit.

Then install it with the following command:
$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install mediatomb
First run mediatomb to create standard database and config file:
$ mediatomb
Press Ctrl-C to exit.
To configure mediatomb, edit the config file with (standing in your home directory):
$ sudo nano .mediatomb/config.xml
Just below the <server> add this line of code:
<protocolInfo extend='yes'/>
Copy the config file to a more usable directory:
$ sudo cp ./mediatomb/config.xml /etc/mediatomb/config.xml
You are now ready to test mediatomb with the PS3.
Run mediatomb as a daemon:
$ mediatomb -d -c /etc/mediatomb/config.xml
Open the web interface (usually) at http://localhost:49152/, and hit the 'filesystem' link in the upper
left corner to add media to the server.
At the time of writing MediaTomb only supports the PS3-native mpeg4 video-format, so you'll
probably be better of just adding your music and pictures.
As observant reader humiliator pointed out, to enable mediatomb to start at boot, edit /etc/default/
mediatomb with nano:
$ sudo nano /etc/default/mediatomb
and change the lines containing:
# set this to ' if you want to start the MediaTomb daemon
NO_START='yes'
#NO_START='
to the following:
# set this to ' if you want to start the MediaTomb daemon
#NO_START='yes'
NO_START='
you would also want to edit the init-script to use the config-file we just made:
$ sudo nano /etc/init.d/mediatomb
The line starting with D_ARGS should look like this:
D_ARGS='-c /etc/mediatomb/config.xml -d -u $USER -g $GROUP -P $PIDFILE -l
$LOGFILE'
Now you can test the init-script with the following commands:
$ sudo /etc/init.d/mediatomb start stop restart
