Dockstar app
Mediatomb seems to prefer ID3 v1 tags over ID3 v2 tags.In this case you should remove the old database and restart mediatomb

Sometimes after having added a lot of new music, mediatomb's indexing database doesn't get updated properly.Don't try to stream music until mediatomb is finished indexing your stuff. After first start Mediatomb needs time to index your music.You don't need to do it all the time, since by default mediatomb is automatically started after each reboot. It's important that you music directory is owned by the mediatomb account.Ĭhown -R mediatomb:mediatomb /media/USB/music Mediatomb documentation is also very comprehensive so be sure to check it out Although it might be too restrictive for your needs, you still can use it as a minimal working config. For convenience I post my own config.xml under this post. Since it contains the path to your music directory. Now it's time to edit the mediatomb config file
#Dockstar app install

In this HOWTO I assume that your music directory is located in /media/USB/music. Just make up your mind now and follow the relevant part of this HOWTO. Which, of course, doesn't mean that you should also run both of them simultaneously.

Both are quite good and capable to do a lot of stuff so it's perhaps a matter of taste which one you should choose. There are many UPnP/DLNA servers for Linux out there, but probably the most famous ones are Mediatomb and MiniDLNA. What you basically have to do is setup a UPnP/DLNA server on your GoFlex/Dockstar and install a UPnP/DLNA client app on your iOS device.

In fact, to enable streaming you don't need stuff like AirPlay, AirVideo, iTunes Server etc. Unaware of the fact that it's very easy to stream your music from a GoFlex/Dockstar to an iOS device. After having performed a brief search on this forum, I believe that many people who own a Dockstar or GoFlex are fully
