Linux equivalent of TVersity?

[PaulStat]

Hi Folks,

Is there a linux equivalent of TVersity, something my 360 will be able to 'see'.

Cheers,
Paul

Fuppes or MediaTomb.

If you don't need transcoding then uShare is good, although last time I used it it broke pidgin.

I use mediatomb for my ps3, its awesome!

Arista Transcoder may be worth a look.

Not used it myself though, I found it the other day not had chance to play with it yet.

I use MediaTomb as well, works fairly nicely on my PS3

Another vote for Mediatomb - PS3 sees it fine.

I'm not understanding how to install it I've tried running the following command

wget http://apt.mediatomb.cc/key.asc -O- -q | sudo apt-key add -(key id: A2DCDB57; fingerprint: F1A6 C581 6BC1 AD55 80E9 EEFE 48AD 7164 A2DC DB57)

As it says on the download page, but it keeps telling me

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('

You've copied a bit too much

wget http://apt.mediatomb.cc/key.asc -O- -q | sudo apt-key add -

Are you sure you need to add mediatomb's repository?

I guess you're running Ubuntu or Debian? I have Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) and the packages are already available for me in the universe repository without having to add mediatomb's. Looks to be the latest version too.

Try searching in Synaptic Package Manager*. You'll be wanting mediatomb or mediatomb-daemon depending how you plan to run it.

*there used to be an odd bug where not all packages are found when typing into the "quick search" box. Clicking on the "search" button and using the popped up search window finds everything. No idea if this is still the case

I use mediatomb, the only problem is I cant stream HD content like MKV. Also can seem to stream vob files.

Hmmm the documentation says mediatomb doesn't support the xbox 360?

I went with Fuppes in the end, which seems to work perfectly! Better than I ever got TVersity working in fact.
