MediaTomb PS3

Scenario:
PS3 does not detect mediatomb hosted on ubuntu desktop even though we followed the manual here, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MediaTomb


Solution:
1. Make sure mediatomb is started correctly on ubuntu. For e.g. a sample command is "mediatomb -e wlan0" to start media tomb using wireless lan network interface.


2. Browse to the url provided in terminal and share content.


3. Make sure firestarter (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=129911) is installed and policy is added to allow inbound traffic from PS3 IP address.


4. Open PS3, under Video -> Search for media servers.
