-====== Mediaserver ====== 
  
-The Raspberry Pi is extremely suitable to serve all kinds of handy things on your home network that usually would require a server. This is mainly due to its very low power consumption, but also because it is very small and can be hidden in a lot of places. I installed a huge USB stick and the DLNA server [[http://mediatomb.cc/|MediaTomb]]. Usually, for embedded use [[http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/|minidlna]] is recommended. But the Raspberry Pi (at least model B) is more than capable of running the webinterface of MediaTomb as well.

-On my (Samsung) SmartTV I can now run my media of off the Raspberry Pi, in MKV even with subtitle support and everything you need :) 
- 
-If you have more Media Servers running MediaTomb in your network, you should edit the name that is advertised on the network to distinguish them. Edit ''/etc/mediatomb/config.xml'' and find the line ''<name>MediaTomb</name>''. Just put your name between ''<name'' and ''</name'' and restart MediaTomb.
