<pre wrap="">It is automatic these days as long as you did not use 127.0.0.1 as the
backend address. If you did use 127.0.0.1 the all "external" networking
functionality (including DLNA) is disabled.
And you can't just change to the real address either, as that value is stored
in the database.
I'm sure there is a procedure to do it though.

Thank you, that looks to be my problem. During install, there is a
question about using external access, and I always answer yes to that,
but it insists on setting things up as 127.0.0.1 anyway, so that is
what I have at the moment. So now I have to find out how to change
the IP address - last time I attempted it, I got nowhere. This time I
know more about SQL so I should be able to track down all the places
where 127.0.0.1 is currently used.

<pre wrap="">Nope, there are some good DLNA servers out there but they have a major issue.
They use inotify to find out changes to the file system, usually with a 3
minute delay. Which means that after 3 minutes of a file showing up it is
listed in DLNA.
The problem with that is that all new MythTV recordings show up as 3 minutes
long, and the PS3 for example will just stop playing the file after 3 minutes.
PS: I have tried
- PMS - Good for transcoding
- Coherence - abysmal memory utilisation (1.3Gb of memory on my server)
- minidlna - pure DLNA file server, brilliant if you don't need transcoding.
(12Mb memory utilisation)

I too am interested, could you post an update showing how you
(hopefully) achieved it?<br>
