dlna - beandog's mostly dvds multimedia wiki

====== DLNA ======

  * [[x264]]
  * [[Matroska]]
  * [[MP4]]
  * [[minidlna]] - best DLNA server, evar! :D

=== What works ===

  * MP4: baseline, medium, high profile; levels 3.1+; title tag
  * MKV: baseline, medium, high profile; levels 3.1+; VOBSUB, closed captioning, AC3 audio, chapters
  * Resume playback on titles, during same power session
  * On MP4 and MKV, Sony Blu-ray players will drop the extension, so you can have some kind of a naming scheme.

==== What doesn't work ====

  * MKV: title tags :(
  * Resume playback on titles (after power-cycle) :(

==== Matroska title tags ====

I tried tagging the title in these places:

  * Movie name
  * Title tag
  * Track name

None of them worked, sadly. :(

==== minidlna hacking to do ====

  * Store more details in SQLite database -- number of times played, which media device is requesting, etc.
  * Figure out how resume-playback works -- I'm guessing that the DLNA server makes a request for a starting point
