DLNA renderer on server?

[Sergio 4]

I'm working on a testing emby installation for a music pub. It has several music listening rooms that we have to be independant and a central one with an already mounted sound system.

The fact is that in that central place it's where the emby server could be mounted, and I tought it could be nice if some media could be directly reproduced on the server, so we could save for a dlna receiver there.

 

Anyone knows if it is possible to install a dlna renderer service on the headless ubuntu server and make emby see it so it could play music on the server itself?

Thanks.

I haven't tried it yet, but it should be possible to let a headless dlna renderer run on the server and control whats played through the web client. You could give this a shot: http://www.westernwillow.com/cms/blog/franco/create-headless-upnpdlna-renderer-ubuntu-1404

Thanks @@gsnerf. That worked nicely. I was trying to make rygel work for two days and didn't try that.

Now I only need to run it at boot as a service.

Uhmmmm... That was too nice to be true.

EDIT: Seems that I may had ran out of disk space during the installation. So I'll try to do all from scratch, as I don't want to mess with emby dependencies.
