GMediaServer - Summary

This software is part of the GNU Project.

GMediaServer is a UPnP compatible media server for the GNU system.

GMediaServer serves audio and video files to certain network connected media players. Most hardware media players only play music and/or video--they don't provide the media themselves. Those media files have to come from a device on the network. GMediaServer is a server for such UPnP compatible media players, including:

   * NETGEAR Wireless Digital Music Player (MP101)
   * Linksys(R) Wireless-B Music System (WMLS11B)
   * Linksys(R) Wireless-B Media Link for Music (WML11B)
   * Philips Streamium SL300i
   * Philips Streamium RC9800i
   * Omnifi DMS1
   * SMC EZ Stream 11Mbps Wireless Audio Adaptor (SMCWAA-B)
   * D-Link DSM-520 Wireless HD Media Player
   * Roku SoundBridge Network Music Player M1000
   * Terratec NOXON audio
   * Terratec NOXON 2 audio

Other UPnP media players (including software based) may work as well--see the manual for a more complete list.

GMediaServer is written in C by Oskar Liljeblad. It should compile and run on any modern POSIX compatible system such as GNU/Linux. GMediaServer is a console based application which is usually run in the background. It is free software, licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html).
