Hi, I want to install a upnp server on my linux box for use with my 2 xboxes with xbmc. I tried media tomb but have had to reinstall evenrything since a hard drive crash, and I struggled to place things in my own containers. I wondered if anyone had any recommendations as to which one is the 'best' for playing movies and music? My linux box does not have a gui installed so it would need a web admin system.

Thanks,

Dave

for linux, i would recommend mediatomb. it has a web based admin. and its very flexible -- it can transcode, and you can create your own javascript virtual objects. though, it is a lot more work to use those advanced features.

uShare is suppose to be good too (not tried either myself):
