Push picture on to a DLNA device

Some javascript/style in this post has been disabled (why?)
Hi,

I am trying to get a simple picture pushed from a fixed location ( stored in any directory where the Coherence server is installed) on to a DLNA device ( eg a DLNA Media renderer like Sony Bravia TV) which is in a home network.

I want to achieve this without manual intervention that is my script should take the file from the fixed location and push it on to the DLNA device.

I have installed Coherence and trying to figure out how the backends work to achieve this ? (I am not even sure if this the thing which I am looking for ) I am trying out the example telling how to create your own backend.


Am I going in the right direction?How do I access the DLNA device ?
Any suggestions would be of great help as I am completely naive to this. I am looking up the documentation at the same time.



Regards,
Nikhil

Hello,

if I understand your problem properly, you should use the filesystem backend
(FSStore).
The section in the config file has to look as follows:

[[FSStore]]
        content = /path/to/the/directory/containing/your/picture          
        name = A name of your choise

This publishes all files in the directory - so if you only want one picture you
have to remove all the others, use symlinks or something similar.
Hope this works, since I've tried this but I do not have the tools  to test
it.  It did not show up in totem, but that's a video/music player only.

Good luck
Flows

I'm assuming that with push you mean to start "playback" of the
picture on the TV without using the TV's own remote control or
similar.

For that you need Media Controller functionality (DMC in DLNA speak).
Coherence is perfectly suited for this.

Read up on the AV Architecture on upnp.org: http://upnp.org/specs/av/default.asp
Don't bother with the DLNA requirements, they are not available for
the general public. UPnP is all you need.
