[coherence-dev] Fwd: Having issues getting coherence working...

[Phil Wild]

I'm googling now to try and find a client to try and test with... I
kind of thought there would be penty out there but not finding
anything yet.

mediatomb does not have a nice interface to manage playlists etc.
Ampache does but does not have inbuilt dlna support. coherence seemed
to be the perfect soln to bridge the gap...

I assume others have this working and my guess is I am doing something
wrong seeing as the pioneer works with a stock coherence config
(mediastore plugin) and mediatomb.

I will try the version thing again now that I know about the route and
can get them talking ok.

Cheers

Phil
