Macast

GNOME built-in media server

MiniDLNA/Upnp

sudo apt-get install minidlna
sudo nano /etc/fstab
sudo nano /etc/minidlna.conf
sudo service minidlna restart
minidlna -R  # refresh database

The setup took only 5 minutes.

Note that each subfolders under media_dir has to have a mode 775.

On Android BubbleUPnP, Go to Library > Your DLNA. Media -> Pictures -> Folders or Media -> Video -> Folders. The streaming is smooth compared to using say VLC/ES File Explorer to play media files.

Minidlna can not sync media files automatically. We need to run cron jobs to achieve it.

If we want to remove minidlna, we run

sudo apt-get remove --auto-remove minidlna
