Is there any way to set up a SLES server to be accessed from specified DLNA enabled devices such as satellite receives and smart TVs? I’ve been searching everywhere and about the only thing I can seem to find is VLC and I cannot get it to install on SLES. I don’t care about being able to actually play any media on the server just access my flies that are stored there. ---

Well VLC from videolan should work fine on SLE, if you have the packman version installed, then that needs removing; ```auto zypper ar -f http://download.videolan.org/SuSE/SLE11/ zypper in vlc-noX ``` The configure the noX version to stream as required. – Cheers Malcolm °¿° SUSE Knowledge Partner (Linux Counter #276890) openSUSE 13.1 (Bottle) (x86\_64) GNOME 3.10.1 Kernel 3.11.10-7-desktop If you find this post helpful and are logged into the web interface, please show your appreciation and click on the star below… Thanks! ---

Similar problem with that installation as with everything else I’ve tried. ```auto Problem: nothing provides libz.so.1(ZLIB_1.2.0.2)(64bit) needed by vlc-noX-2.0.9-2.11.x86_64 ``` ---
