Media Network Demo ================== We're looking to have a section on the web site for the demo that explains what each use-case is and possibly how it can be replicated. I'm taking the approach of describing each image. Consider the following:
The Yocto Project launch event at ECLF 2010 featured a multi-architecture Media Network Demo. All the source for this demo is available in the meta-demo git repository as a layer for the poky build system.
The following images made up the demo: o poky-image-nas o poky-image-mediatomb o poky-image-rygel
poky-image-nas -------------- The poky-image-nas image boots your device as a network attached storage device. It provides a DHCP service and an NFS server. We used this image to store all our media.
poky-image-mediatomb -------------------- The poky-image-mediatomb image adds a UPnP content provider via the mediatomb package. This image mounts the media share from the NAS and makes it available to UPnP renderers.
poky-image-rygel ---------------- The poky-image-rygel image provides gupnp tools and the rygel media renderer along with the sato desktop. The renderer can be controlled locally or via any control point on the network. Several devices can run this image and stream media from the mediatomb device.
Open Questions -------------- o Is this more or less what we are looking for? o Should we modify the mediatomb image to: o automatically mount a specific share from the NAS? o add something to the config to automatically scan the media share? o The poky-image-rygel description needs to be updated as we finalize the package.
