The ThinkPad was replaced with a MacBook Pro, so the ThinkPad was sitting on the sidelines, doing nothing. It suddenly occurred to me today that I had more than one device in my hand, so I might as well get the ThinkPad into a media server dedicated to storing AV (Audio/video), and then other devices read through the client.
The experiment was done on the MacBook + ThinkPad, and the software involved was:
MEDIATOMB–UPNP Media Server
VLC for MAC OS X
Environment:
Thinkpad–opensuse 13.2 Bits
Macbook–osx Yosimite 10.10.2
Note: If there is a VPN, agent, etc., please temporarily shutdown, and the firewall is temporarily closed.
Install Mediatomb
In the OpenSUSE terminal window, execute the following command:
sudo zypper ar-f Http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_13.2/packman
This step adds a Packman library.
Refreshing the source of a software library
sudo zypper ref
Install Mediatomb
sudo zypper in Mediatomb
In this way, we will be on the OpenSUSE loaded good mediatomb.
Run Mediatomb
In the second step, we will start the Mediatomb on the OpenSUSE.
Open the terminal window and execute the command:
Mediatomb
Mediatomb will bind a ip:port, such as 10.10.10.35:49152. But this URL of our other devices is inaccessible, so we need to modify it.
Assume that the IP address assigned to the OpenSUSE system by route is 192.168.0.104. We pass an IP parameter to it when the Mediatomb is started:
Mediatomb--ip 192.168.0.104
After it starts, we can access its Web UI interface through this ip:port-this is a visual management interface, you can add video files, folders, and so on, so that we do not deal with the command line, screenshots are as follows:
Download and install VLC from VLC website, then open VLC, as shown below:
Double-click the video to open it, and drag it very smoothly:
- OpenSUSE system binding static IP, not every time the IP is changing
- Mediatomb with OpenSUSE system boot, background run, do not manually open every time
- Let's see how IOS connects.
