Rygel - ArchWiki

# Rygel

From ArchWiki

Rygel is a streaming media server compatible with many DLNA/UPnP clients including the Sony PlayStation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, smart televisions, DLNA speakers and many smartphones. Rygel will automatically transcode media to a format compatible with the client device. It can also utilise published media hierarchies from external applications like Rhythmbox and DVB Daemon through the D-Bus MediaServer specification. It is under active development and is a part of the GNOME project.

## Installation

Install the rygel package.

## Configuration

After having installed Rygel on a GNOME environment, the "Share media" option will be available along the Sharing settings.

Rygel can be configured globally (`/etc/rygel.conf`) or per-user (`~/.config/rygel.conf`). The default `/etc/rygel.conf` is well documented.

More information on these and other configuration options can be found with rygel.conf(5).

## Troubleshooting

When starting Rygel from the command line, there are several options that might help you troubleshoot any strange behaviour. Find out more about these options with rygel(1).
