Free upnp media server software for linux

PyMediaServer is a barebones UPnP-based Media Server for use with a Netgear MP101 Digital Music Player.
PyMediaServer currently:
- supports the Netgear MP101 and has not been tested with any other UPnP client devices
- Supports browsing MP3s (only MP3s at this point) via the UPnP ContentDirectory service, but only provides organization by directories (that is, it does not support an Artist category, Genre category, etc.)
- Supports ordering MP3s found in a given folder via track number if those track numbers are available via ID3v2
- Supports playing MP3s via RTSP and RTP/UDP to the MP101
Development is currently in progress to add support for organization by Artist, Genre, and Alblum. Additional features Id like to include are:
- Playlist support
- Internet Radio support
- PyGTK Interface
- Improved Installer
- WMA support
- Additional Media Player support
Installing and Running
The installation process at the moment is straightforward, though there are some noted issues with it.
In a nutshell I recommend downloading the source to /usr/src or /usr/local/src and then running install.sh in the pymediaserver directory. This merely creates a link from /usr/bin/pymediaserver to the MediaServer.py file. You will have to edit install.sh if you want the link created in a different bin directory.
Running should be straightforward:
pymediaserver /path/to/mp3s/ to load a new set of content
Note that /path/to/mp3s/ is an absolute path and should be readable by the user from which pymediaserver is launched (robustness isnt supported yet).
If no arguments are presented to pymediaserver it will try to load a stored dictionary in $HOME/.pymediaserver/. If one doesnt exist it will fail (probably with a nasty traceback).
Enhancements:
- The non-graphical version no longer requires GTK+ or X in any fashion, allowing it to be started as a daemon.
- The Media Directory is now read directly from the Amarok database if available using a SQLite interface.
- Error handling when encountering malformed ID3 tags was improved along with the handling of character encoding of MP3 titles.

Poisson Media Recovery project can be used to retrieve slightly damaged files from CD-ROM media.

It sequentially mounts and umounts the device, and on each mount it tries to read as many new 512 byte sectors as possible.

I was able to use this tool to save some files from old CDs.

pDonkeyS is Perl implementation of an eDonkey server. The main goal of the server is to provide framework for further eDonkey protocol exploration, but it could be useful in testing of client software, since the server can be configured to output very detailed debugging info about eDonkey traffic.

GNOME media is a collection of utilities for simple multimedia handling on the GNOME desktop.
It contains a volume control application, a control application for selecting your sound and video card to be used by media players, a CD player, a sound recorder, a CDDB configuration utility and more.

The GNOME media utilities provide simple applications for basic multimedia tasks, such as CD playback, volume control or audio recording.
Main features:
- It includes a CD player, which will retrieve audio CD metadata from CDDB-servers on internet.
- It includes a basic application for volume handling. It will control both playback and capture volumes (e.g. microphone, line-in, etc.). You can hide tracks that you dont use. The volume control will use either ALSA or OSS, depending on what your sound card driver is using.
- It includes an audio recording application. It will record audio from your microphone, line-in or audio-CD in MP3, FLAC or Ogg/Vorbis.
- Part of the GNOME desktop.

Clicking one of the displayed programs will start your default browser and navigate to appropriate additional info page of the program.
