Stream content from Ubuntu to an Xbox360

Problem

I wanted to setup Ubuntu (11.04), so that I could access content from an Xbox360 using DLNA

Solution

  1. Open "Ubuntu Software Center" and install "rygel"
  2. Also install the additional "Tracker plugin" (only)
  3. Follow the steps under Helper Scripts (requires sqlite3)
Rygel can now be started from the terminal by executing "rygel".
    Movies/Pictures/Video's tagged in nautilius will be displayed (right click on the file and tag).
