That's an excellent suggestion.

How about ReadyMedia (minidlna)?

https://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/

Roku has a built in DLNA app (Roku Media Player) that can pull video
and audio streams from a DLNA media server. It is CLI only, but simple.
 I use it to expose a movie directory on an external USB drive to a Roku
stick.  You have to make sure your files are in the right format, and
the interface is a bit dated, but it works.


Roku Media Player file types:

Video —
H.264/AVC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), on Roku 4 only: H.265/HEVC (.MKV, .MP4,
.MOV); VP9 (.MKV)

Audio –
AAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV); MP3(.MP3, .MKV); WMA (.ASF, .WMA, .MKV), FLAC
(.FLAC, .MKV), PCM (.WAV, .MKV, .MP4, .MOV), AC3/EAC3 (.MKV,.MP4. .MOV,
.AC3), DTS (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV), ALAC (.MKV, .MP4, .MOV, .M4A)

Re: [PLUG] Gmail says we are sending spam

2016-03-13 Thread Michael Rasmussen 
After some poking around, I see the domain mindfulcooking.org seems to be hostd
on a Linode machine.  This implies you've a full Linux install. Considering
the blank To:, 191 BCC: field (sure smells spammy) nature of what you're doing
I'll now second Rich's suggestion to set up Mailman, establish an email list
and send the announcements that way.

Re: [PLUG] Gmail says we are sending spam

2016-03-13 Thread Richard Owlett 
Have you asked whoever hosts the site for suggestions?
You might already be paying for an appropriate service.
I personally avoid "free" services (especially Google) as being 
too expensive.
YMMV ;/
