You've got a handy comparison of DLNA servers here: http://www.rbgrn.net/content/21-how-to-choose-dlna-media-server-windows-mac-os-x-or-linux You could also have a look at Coherence: http://coherence.beebits.net/ I haven't tried installing any of those but it should give you some ideas.

Had a couple of minor issues, but these were unique to it being a Xen domain and having a quirky kernel rather than it being an LTS-LTS upgrade. Also had an issue with a php script used by the podcast half of the site, but all sorted thanks to google. Job done.

[ubuntu-uk] [ADMIN] ubuntu-uk.org site downtime
Hi, Just a quick note to say I'm upgrading the ubuntu-uk.org VPS from 8.04 to 10.04 today. There will be some disruption to the loco site, podcast site and the various bots we have from there that hang out in the IRC channel, and email forwarding setups. We have a snapshot from before I touch it so if it breaks we can roll back. Will report back when it's all done. Cheers, Al. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/

Thanks for the reply Rob, The PMS quite interesting although somewhat of a convoluted install on Linux from what I have read so far. My home server (headless) is a low power Via C7 device and I wonder if it has enough "grunt" for a JRE app. I'll do a bit more reading first and then perhaps give it a go.
