Can someone suggest a dnla server to use? I have intel macs with movies on them. Ideally it would be a commandline program I could start to serve any ofthe files in a directory or in a simple to create with the output of find playlist file.
I use it daily on an Arch Linux server as well as occasionally threw an Ubuntu VM on Windows 7. Works seamlessly in either case, and better than most other DLNA servers I've tried in terms of file format support and reliability.

with media_dir=..., this exactly what I was looking for, thanks again.
