Hi,
I think its best to use a DLNA server talking to your mediabox rather than 
using an exported file-system via samba.
There are two DLNA servers that I have used - mediatomb and currently minidlna 
(which appears to conform more strictly to the dlna spec).
minidlna happily talks to my SONY smart TV and playstation, iphone, ipad .....
Both are available in the fedora repositories.
You may need to open port 8200/tcp on you firewall (in order for minidlna to 
broadcast its existence to your mediabox and other clients).
Regards
Andyp
