Been trying to set up a uPnP/DLNA server on my old iMac-G5.
Previously been sharing the media files with SMB. Ushare didn't work
out, kept getting bus errors, so assumed that it was too big for the
machine. Building MediatTomb right now and trying that.
Any recommendations for something like this? miniupmp, mediatomb,
something I haven't thought of yet?
MythTV? Myth includes video library management* and a UPNP server
although I don't personally use these features. When you configure
Myth you tell it a list of directories that include videos and have
it scan through them to create/update the listing and retrieve
metadata. More info on the Myth wiki:
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Video_Library
http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/UPnP
NOTE that building Myth (mythtv-core.25) on a G5 may take *many
hours* and has not been extensively tested (I know of one user
running it successfully). Also, I expect it will be confusing to
work through the configuration since most people use Myth as a PVR
and a lot of the steps relate to configuring the capture device and
the source of program listings.

* Prior to Myth 0.25, the video functions resided in a plugin to
MythTV. Some older bits of the wiki haven't caught up to that change.
