Re: [Rhythmbox-devel] grilo plugin

[Jean Parpaillon <jean parpaillon free fr>]

Hi,
Just tried the plugin for upnp share.
With a rygel server, I can browse and listen to music. But rygel server
but I can't find any document to setup rygel on an headless server :(
With a Mediatomb server, I can browse but when I want to play a music,
rhythmbox crashes.

Investigating...


Regards,
Jean
