Media Servers for OS/2 ?

Hi Greggory

The dropdown arrow on the UMS download page did not seem to do anything when I tried it last time. This time I remembered to allow scripts on that page - NoScript is useful but sometimes I forget it is in use and blocking scripts that I may want to allow  :-)

Thanks for the tips.

Pete

Hi All

Where do I check/set a multicast value? - mediatomb is complaining about this:-

A hunt for multicast in local help files is not getting me very far and googling for "mulicast os/2" is no help...

Don't have either the readme at hand nor an os/2 machine. But I remember you have to start mediatomb with something like -ip statement pointing to the IP address of the server machine.

Good memory Michael !  Yes create a program object with the paramenter:  --ip your ip address

Hi guys

Yes, I am starting mediatomb with the --ip address parameter which generates the previously posted error. Hence the multicast question.

I managed to find some useful multicast information in the tcpip readme file \TCPIP\HELP\README.TXT


On the off chance that the information may be of use to anyone else having problems getting mediatomb running:-

I added the multibc parameter into the setup.cmd file ie

ifconfig lan0 192.168.1.110 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu 1500 multibc

Having saved the change I then opened a command window in \MPTN\BIN and ran

ifconfig lan0 down

to switch off tcpip followed by

setup.cmd

to restart tcpip with the new setting.

I then opened a command window in \mediatomb\bin and ran

mediatomb --ip 192.168.1.110


This seems to have been successful as the last few lines onscreen indicate all is working:-

ink:
2015-04-04 00:14:32    INFO: http://192.168.1.110:49152/

Entering the above url displays the mediatomb browser interface so now to setup some video files and see if I can view them from my TV  :-)


NOTE: if using the above to setup mediatomb change ip address to suit your system.

Pete
