I would also recommend installing "ffmpeg" v3.x which is in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM) of Linux Mint 19 and available using a PPA for previous Linux Mint versions.Īs for your naming conventions for your multimedia files, it would help to provide some examples. can also add a UPnP/DLNA application for their app stores to access the content. You can also access their content from computers on the local network using a browser and their web interface address. I have smart Blu-Ray DVD player that automatically recognizes UMS or PS3 Media server with all my multimedia content and I can just use the players remote control to navigate the folders and files. If you want other features that a "home theater" package provides, then use Kodi, Plex, etc.

Good info "smurphos", what is the web address for accessing the web interface, and did you have to add a firewall rule for incoming, if so what port(s)?Īs I stated before, if all you want is to stream multimedia content then UMS or PS3 Media servers would be a great choice.

Plex is not in the Software Manager or Synaptic Package Manager (SPM), but it is easy to install.
