| + | ===== AGL Demonstration Platform ===== | ||
| + | |||
| + | The version of Rygel found on AGL Demonstration Platform is customized to integrate the [[https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=715145|LightMediaScanner Plugin]], able to communicate via [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Bus|D-Bus]] with the embedded-oriented **[[LightMediaScanner]]** media indexer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | //(by default, LightMediaScanner is looking for media files in the **"///usr/share/media//"** directory)// | ||
| + | |||
| + | Both Rygel and LightMediaScanner are started automatically at system startup. Then, using a UPnP client such as [[http://www.videolan.org/vlc/|VLC]] or [[http://www.eezupnp.de/|eezUPnP]], you will be able to discover media just like in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQNBTJ0U5Mo|this video]]. | ||

| + | |||
| + | ---- | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==== Note : Switching back to default "Media-Export" plugin ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
| + | **LightMediaScanner** is able to do fast discovery and indexing, but it currently lacks the ability to initiate audio/video rendering using the [[http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org|GStreamer]] media engine. | ||
| + | If this is wanted, the default **Media-Export** plugin can be enabled back by changing the following sections in "///etc/rygel.conf//" : | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>[MediaExport] | ||
| + | enabled=true | ||
| + | ... | ||
| + | uris=/usr/share/media</code> | ||
| + | <code>[LightMediaScanner] | ||
| + | enabled=false</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | and restarting Rygel : | ||
| + | |||
| + | <code>$ systemctl restart rygel</code> | ||
| + | |||
| + | |||
