I'm wondering whether we perhaps should package ps3mediaserver instead. I haven't looked deeply into it, but it seems mediatomb doesn't support fastforward/back and ps3mediaserver does - that's a pretty relevant feature imho :). Any of you experienced with this? (there was already some work on that but it seems that got abandoned due to lack of upstream response... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=551645) Kind regards, Arnout ___ pkg-multimedia-maintainers mailing list pkg-multimedia-maintainers@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pkg-multimedia-maintainers

Afaics mediatomb is currently the only UPnP/DLNA server in Debian with transcoding capabilities. I think we should either try to keep mediatomb or package another similar piece of software - I don't know which are any good though :). I have an interest in this kind of software (as I recently got a TV with DLNA capabilities ;) ), so I might be able to help out here and there, but I don't have much experience with it yet.

I'm still catching up on various tasks, but I can try to take this over (would still like to keep it under pkg-multimedia if that's ok). The problem is that I don't personally use it.

I rarely have time for mediatomb development (I'm one of the upstream developers), so I'm sorry but I have currently no time for the Debian package.

I had been using Mediatomb occasionally, but not on a Debian system. So to make a long story short: I don't care much for the Debian package. If it gets removed, that is OK with me.

Debian's mediatomb package is in bad shape
Hi, I've CC'ed both Sven and Leonard explicitly, because both do not seem to be subscribed to pkg-multimedia. Sven, Leonard, are you (still?) interested in participating in pkg-multimedia [2]? I notice that the mediatomb package in debian is in a rather bad shape. [1] currently lists 3 RC and 5 important bugs. Moreover, there hasn't been a new upstream release for over a year. I know that I did the last upload of the package, but since I don't really use it, getting the package in shape is not really my priority. For the team, I ask you what to do about it. Do we have volunteers to get it in shape or shall we rather orphan/remove it from Debian?
