Prog Media Server For Small Network

Serviio is a free media server. It allows you to stream your media files (music, video or images) to renderer devices (e.g. A TV set, Bluray player, games console or mobile phone) on your connected home network. There is also a paid for Pro edition which further enhances the possibilities of sharing content in your connected household.

Motivation

Looking for a simple DLNA server that I could just fire up in some directory, watch some files on my TV and then be done with it, I came up empty. There are some decent servers out there, like Serviio and friends, but none that fit my requirements. Also there wasn't really a decent enough and uncomplicated enough open source implementation that I could borrow. The Coherence python project seemed to be a good starting point, but was already to complex for what I was trying to achieve. Also, python dealing with Unicode paths on Windows pretty much sucks. Then there is Mono.UPnP, which didn't really work, and the Intel(?) Developer Tools for UPnP, which seemed kinda nice at first, but turned out to be coming straight out of over-engineering hell, in my humble opinion.

https://willlisfeichar1983.mystrikingly.com/blog/doom-2-wad-1-9-download. And so I decided to write my own server, borrowing some ideas from Coherence, reading some of the UPnP specs and reverse engineering the various protocols involved (yuck, SOAP :p) by watching my TV interact with Coherence and Serviio under Wireshark.

Install it right away once you find the WiseView Windows app.#4. https://willlisfeichar1983.mystrikingly.com/blog/wiseview-app-for-mac. Method 2: Install WiseView on PC Using NoxPlayer!#1. Let us now move on the next method which includes NoxPlayer. Once installed, launch the app and start using it on your Windows 10, 8, & 7 based PC or laptop.Pro Tip: If you don't find the app in the built-in Play Store of Bluestacks, you can also sideload the within the emulator to make it work.This completes the process of installing WiseView desktop app using Bluestacks.

And since I was at it and this is supposed to be an educational and 'fun' project, I decided to do what you shouldn't normally do: Re-invent the wheel by writing my own small http server implementation insead of using the framework one.

Basic use

• sdlna.exe / mono sdlna.exe
  Serve videos from current directory and subdirectories
• sdlna.exe -t image -t audio -v bytitle
  Serve images and audio files from the current directory and subdirectories, organizing files by title.
• sdlna.exe -c cache.sqlite dir1 dir2
  Serve videos from dir1 and dir2 (and subdirectories), storing meta data and thumbnails in the persistent cache store cache.sqlite.
• sdlna.exe --help
  Display usage help.
• SimpleDLNA.exe
  Or just use the WinForms GUI. (This probably won't work too well on non-Windows platforms ;)
• Your front-end here Feel free to contribute something that works better for your preferred platform.

Also, you'll want to have a working ffmpeg binary somewhere within your $PATH, so that video thumbnailing and information gathering works.

Features

• Zero-config DLNA Server without persistent state (optional cache)
• Written in C# (See FAQ)
• Thumbnailing support for images and videos - if ffmpeg is found in the search path -, using any stream as input.
• Meta data as provided by TagLib#
• Serving of any and all file-system addressable files, incl. some views (transformations)
• Should be relatively easy to code up additional media sources, like podcasts

Non-Features, maybe TODO

• Media transcoding
  • Although it should be easy enough to come up with something based on ffmpeg and the various freely available image libraries
• Full DLNA support - only browsing/playing supported at the moment
• Complete SSDP support. Because SSDP makes me cringe, I stopped after getting the basics working
• No Unit testing or test suite.. Yeah, laziness is your enemy
• ..

Run requirements

• Some .Net 4 Client Profile compatible implementation to run the app
  • Tested on .Net 4 and Fedora17 + mono, OSX Lion + mono
• File system and networking :p
• Some DLNA renderer (e.g. TV) to actually display the served media.
  • Tested with: Samsung C-Series TV, Kinsky

External dependencies

The external dependencies are nuget managed and can be auto-restored (except for Sqlite maybe.. Just reinstall it using nuget into the fsserver project).

Design

The thing wasn't formally designed, but more written as I went along. However, the individual components are only loosely coupled and interact through some real, generic interfaces that allow for extensibility.

Gta 4 download for android apk obb. Now go to download manager where you have downloaded the file. Then download Zarchiver from play store.

Most of the IO is asynchronous, as per .Net Stream.BeginRead/.BeginWrite. No forking (D'OH), no explicit thread management.

Mini FAQ

Prog Media Server For Small Network Design

• Q: Does it work in my network/with my TV?
• A: At the moment, if you got a somewhat recent Samsung TV, then probably yes. Otherwise probably not. Why don't you just try?
• Q: This thing does not work with my setup?!
• A: Either provide me with the setup (i.e. buy me that TV) or whip out your debugger and Wireshark and read Contributing ;)
• Q: Are you planning to support Podcasts, RTMP streaming, insert name here?
• A: Maybe, but probably not. See Contributing
• Q: Why .Net and C#? I'm on Linux and/or Mac!
• A: Yeah, well.. Other languages have their own set of problems. C# is reasonably portable, managed and garbage collected, statically typed and comes with a huge stdlib. And actually quite nice to use. If only it wasn't for Microsoft having invented this stuff and holding various patents..
  Maybe I'll get bored and rewrite this stuff in C++11 or as a Firefox add-on in JavaScript :p

Thanks

To Microsoft, the UPnP(-AV) folks and Samsung and DLNA gurus for designing such a set of specs and protocols, that includes HTTP-alike over multicast UDP sockets, SOAP and XML, dozens of poorly documented namespaces used in SOAP responses, the contentFeatures.dlna.org HTTP header and other fancy tech. Also a big kudos to software engineers for messing up even the most basic things like http header field names are usually case insensitive or the Reason-Phrase of http status lines is purely informal.

Changelog

For any small business, it is important to have an effective way to store data and share it among workers. Thus, any network with more than 2 or 3 users who need to access the same data should be implementing some sort of client-server relationship. It is common to see small businesses who aren't operating with this setup because they simply don't realize the benefits that a NAS or server can bring. When it comes to choosing between a NAS or server, the choice depends on several factors.

What is a server?

Prog Media Server For Small Network Box

A server is not dramatically different from a regular personal computer, but it serves a different purpose. The main role of a server is to manage resources on the network. The server will be using a server operating system such as Windows Server or Mac OS X Server. A server can fill a number of different roles, all of which manage resources and clients on the network. Potential server capabilities include:

• Active directory domain controller --> authenticates and authorizes all users and computers on the network
• DHCP Server - dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on the network
• DNS Server - associates IP addresses with domain names
• Printing and Document Services
• File storage, sharing and collaboration tools
• User or Device Specific Permissions
• Applications - applications installed on server that are accessible to clients (accounting software, e-commerce software, etc.)

What is a NAS?

NAS stands for network-attached storage. As you can derive from the name, a NAS is attached to a network and stores data. It's a device that is specialized to provide data storage and make it easily accessible. A NAS provides a central location to allow for synced folders that can be accessed and modified by others on the network. It is also useful for backing up data. In addition to file storage and sharing, NAS devices offer many of the same services that an application server can, but with more basic settings and less customization. It also requires you to use its own compatible applications, rather than choosing from any third party software.

Which device suits your small business?

To decide whether a NAS or server will best suit your small business, break down the benefits of each in the following categories:

Prog Media Server For Small Network Solutions

Functionality and Ease of Use

As was discussed earlier in this post, application servers are more powerful than NAS, as they offer more functionality. Application servers allow you to install third-party software. With a NAS, you are limited to applications you can download on the NAS operating system. For example, to make a Synology NAS into a mail server, you'll need to download the Synology Mail Server app. Servers are more capable and offer more advanced controls over your network services and applications, but also require more management. The NAS offers less advanced functionality, but will not require as much maintenance or configuration. Businesses with a dedicated IT staff need not worry about the configuration and maintenance aspect, but those businesses without IT may opt for the simpler NAS.

Sharing Capabilities

Both file servers and NAS provide a great way to share files across devices on the network with the use of shared folders. Both a server and NAS allow for control over user permissions. User groups can be created that make files only accessible to those who should have access. The server will arguably offer more configuration options in terms of access control and security than a NAS will.

A NAS is also great for sharing folders with clients outside of the network. Using software like Synology's Cloud Station, you can easily create a link to the shared folder and send it to clients so that they can access the folder or even configure a syncing relationship as they make changes. A server does not offer this ability. If you are frequently collaborating with clients, you should consider a NAS for its ability to allow outside access to shared folders via the internet. If you only need to collaborate among colleagues, the server will meet all of your needs.

Cost

With the difference in functionality, comes a difference in cost. A server contains more powerful hardware and offers more functionality. The tradeoff is that it will cost more than a NAS. An application server will almost always cost more than a NAS. Server operating systems also drive up the price because they often require purchasing licenses for the server, and in some cases, licenses (or CALs) for each user or device connecting to the server. On the other hand, most NAS software comes with the NAS device and does not require user licensing.

For those seeking higher functionality and can handle the more complicated configuration, maintenance, and higher cost, an application server is the best choice. For those whose are looking for a good file storage and sharing solution, with other basic applications, a NAS is a more affordable option.
