Hi Guys,
I have been assigned to writing a DLNA Media server for linux
and trying to figure out the start point. I am totally new to this and
really have very little idea about it. I have always recieved best
advice from this group so I thought of asking here. Can someone please
point me to any documentation and source code which can help me
understand what I need to do ?

Thanks,

Strange… where I live, one can’t get such job
being totally new, or at least, without having a clue.

I don’t think that this is that uncommon (assigning someone new). A company
that has Windows products might want to do a Linux product. The company then
assigns the existing development team to do the Linux product. This is not
the same as hiring someone new to do the job.

Ajitabh ,

Frankly I’m lost about what you actually looking for?

You know better than anyone else where to start!!. It’s based on what you
know, how you can align with your other expertize and knowledge etc., etc.

If you are new to linux, then you sure know what to do !

If you are new to Media server, again you sure know … !

Just for the heck of it, I searched your ‘DLNA’ and found a heck of a lot
of informations on the net…

Download them, and starting playing with it. Also lot of documents there.

“Rome was not built in a day”. ( Yes it was built at night :slight_smile: ).

That is true, proven engineers are always blessed with more and different
type of work.

Can anyone help ??

Absolutely. I have already downloaded the documents and have started going through them. The problem is that there is a lot of information there which I “might” not need for my application. So my idea of posting here was that someone could point me to only the “required info”. But I guess that I will have to figure out myself :).

– Thanks anyway.

Well, I don’t know where you live, but, judging from NUMEROUS questions in this NG, this situation seems to be incredibly common, especially when it comes to outsourcing locations. Judging from the OP’s name and particularly from the way he had presented his question (i.e point me to source and docs), he happens to be from one of these locations. Therefore, don’t be surprised to find out that he is expected to present a workable code for his project by the end of next week…

Well Anton, I am not in an “outsourcing” location. I am in Silicon Valley (Broadcom Corporation) and our group has just moved to a new project and hence we are all learning. As always, deadlines are tight and not time to learn throughly. So trying to bring the blocks together.
