Can we have Digital Media Server support for piratebox?

It would be nice if we could tap into the piratebox as if it was a media server as well. The standards is shown here [en.wikipedia.org]

With DLNA standards, I would be able to use my android phone and access the songlist without needing to download each song individually.

I think this would be very useful for a piratebox to have. It might be as easy as spawning an extra daemon service. Essentally what I would like, is for piratebox to also support NAS mode.

it is on my todo list to add an install option for that. David already tried it on a openwrt device

Yes, it worked for David.
The only thing todo is writing a small installer and a default-config file, that the piratebox-people can use it easily.
