DLNA Server
The toggle for the server is located in the System menu. It does not stay enabled, so it will need to be turned on after each boot when you want to use it. If you are comfortable with the terminal and want it enabled permanently, you can do so from TTY2.
sudo systemctl enable minidlna.service
The version of minidlna shipped with the Stormux Gaming Image has been patched to support opus files. It will serve music, videos, and pictures. Each media type is served from its corresponding folder in /home/stormux.
Currently music can be added from the upload server. Magic-wormhole is also available on the image. Videos and pictures that are uploaded through the server will be placed in ~/Downloads and must be moved to their folders manually.
For those who are unfamiliar with DLNA, it allows you to stream the media stored on the device with the server, in this case the Stormux Gaming image, to a DLNA compatible device such as a smart TV, a computer or phone with compatible software such as vlc, etc.
