What DLNA server program should I choose and how do I set it up? It is an absolute requirement that it doesn't take a lot of resources since it will be running on a 500 MHz machine. There seems to be quite a few server programs and I don't have any experience with these userfriendly auto-detecet protocols/services. Btw, the server doesn't have a GUI... |

Quite popular and only a web interface to speak of. It also does on-the-fly transcoding but you may need to disable that or your little 500mhz server might explode. |

I've recently switched from MediaTomb (which has been crashing all over the place recently) to MiniDLNA. It's lighter, no interface at all and hasn't crashed on me yet. Scans fast too. |

I'm pretty pleased with PS3MediaServer on Ubuntu 11.10. Ubuntu has a help page for it at Ubuntu Documentation - Ps3MediaServer. Installation is easy, adding files is easy and it works great. Don't let the name fool you, you don't have to have a PS3 to enjoy this. And best of all, it's all handled through a graphical GUI. |

Plex recently appeared in the Ubuntu Software Center. I have used their server for two years and recommend it. |
