Introduction to GMediaServer

GMediaServer is a UPnP compatible media server for the GNU system. It is part of the GNU project.

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 Wireless-B Music System (WMLS11B), Wireless-B Media Link for Music (WML11B)
• Philips Streamium SL300i, Streamium RC9800i, Streamium SLA5520
• 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, NOXON 2 audio
• Pinnacle ShowCenter 200

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.
