Installing the DLNA server

Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA), which is a group of organizations that have created an industry-wide standard, enables all DLNA devices to share media over a home network. Once a device is connected to a DLNA server, media content can be accessed with minimum hassle so that movies, music, or digital photos are available to be played on game consoles, tablets, mobile phones, and televisions.

This content will be loaded by remote machines using the Samba shares that have been mapped as part of their filesystem. Once the network and server is set up, content can be added and viewed at anytime, anywhere on the local network.

Now, the DLNA server will be installed with the following command:

sudo apt-get install minidlna

Installing the DLNA server will have extra packages that need to be installed in addition to the package you want to install. After reading the details of these packages, select y to continue, as shown in the following screenshot:

William Pretty

Bill Pretty began his career in electronics in the early 80s with a small telecom start-up company that would eventually become a large multinational. He left this company to pursue a career in commercial aviation in northern Canada. Next, he joined the Ontario Center for Microelectronics, a provincially funded research and development center. Bill left this for a career in the military as a civilian contractor at what was then called Defense Research Establishment Ottawa. Thus began a career that was to span the next 25 years and continues until today. Over the years, Bill acquired extensive knowledge in the field of technical security and started his own company in 2010. This company is called William Pretty Security Inc. and provides support in the form of research and development to various law enforcement and private security agencies. Bill has published and presented a number of white papers on the subject of technical security. For a number of years, he was also a guest presenter at the Western Canada Technical Conference, a law enforcement-only conference held every year in western Canada. A selection of these papers is available for download from his website.
