bretto69 :
Looks great and I have followed it but I get an error in my browser "no items for file tags found". Any ideas?

I continued to get that message after a new m3u playlist was loaded in. Just reload mediatomb and/or the host box.

To include support for custom Javascript virtual-directories; you need to install Mozilla's SpiderMonkey. Do this before before running ./configure. apt-get install libmozjs-dev libmozjs1d And then to use the custom virtual-directories, change to . You can grab my custom import.js and common.js files: http://vraidsys.com/article-includes/mediatomb/ Finally copy these files into the /usr/local/share/mediatomb/js/ directory, after backing up the previous copies.

@Alan Yeah the installation help on mediatomb.cc was getting me nowhere, so I just decided to cut my losses and start from square one. Although I did use the built-in ffmpeg version and just transcode to Mpeg-1.

This was super helpful thanks!

There are two things I came across that you may want to add.
1. The installation of mediainfo in order for the scripts on the mediatomb.cc site to work
2. The native version of FFMPEG on Deb 5 didn’t support the mpegts codec an is generally lame compared to the versions found on debian-multimedia.org
