I have just recently set up a DLNA server on my GNU/Linux desktop at home. I am using PS3 Media Server to do the job. I like it a lot so far, but I was curious about whether or not it is the best solution. To you, what is the best DLNA server for Linux?

I found Mediatomb to work with very little configuration. I now have replaced it with a Netgear ReadyNAS box. It is a bit pricey, but also very elegent. Iirc it is running a custom DLNA server, easily configurable through the FrontView web ui.
FWIW, I use mediatomb (SourceForge project page) and find it to work flawlessly, although it sure took some configuring.
It runs as a system service (started from /etc/init.d
on boot) and I've set it to auto-update indexes so I never need to touch it now.
I also set up a little IMDB lookup script that moves movies into directories based on their IMDB rating.
This post gives a pretty good breakdown of a lot of choices.

Thanks for the response, but I had already came across that one from Google. I was curious about what SuperUser members' thoughts were. Not to mention, its just information and not too much commentary about preference. The article is also from 2007.– kzhMar 7, 2010 at 2:34
