Show HN: ZeroConfigDNLA – Easy to run media server in Python

Run one command, serve media to your TV!

Clone/download this repo and run:
python app.py

(By default it will serve media from the current directory)

If you want to serve files from another directory, use the -d flag, e.g:
python app.py -d ~/Downloads

This project uses features from the Python standard library. No other packages/setup is required to run.

I wanted something quick and easy that would let me share videos from my laptop to my TV. The DLNA/media server implementations I tried seemed to be extremely over-complicated, needed tons of configuration, or were heavyweight with various other features bolted on.

By contrast, ZeroConfigDLNA has nothing to configure. You simply run it and it appears as a media server on your TV.

So far I've tested this on my Sony TV. It works! Feel free to open an issue with the log output if you run into problems and I'll see if I can fix it.
