I'd like to make a hard drive containing various media files available 
to various devices around my house.

The various devices include 2 Samsung TVs, an iPhone, an N900 phone, an 
Asus Infinity Android tablet, a couple Windows laptops and a few Linux 
laptops and PCs.

I'd like the files to be served from a Linux (Fedora 17) server.

Right now I am trying to share the media drive using uShare or XBMC.  I 
get the same results with both.

On the Android tablet I can see the shared folders using the Bubble 
UPNP  player, but they appear empty.   On a Fedora laptop I can mount 
the server using djmount and can see the folders as well, but they 
appear empty as well.  If I attempt to ls the folders, I get an 
"endpoint disconnected" error.

Upnp-Inspector displays the server as a valid UPNP server running both 
server packages.

I have the firewalls disabled on all devices, except the Android tablet.

Several forum posts indicate that one must add a route to the server's 
iptables to allow UPNP multicasting as follows.

route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0

How do I add this to my system when using system-config-firewall and 
system-config-network with devices managed by NetworkManager  ?

Please do.   I was going to try minidlna next, but it doesn't seem like 
the UPNP server software is the problem.

FYI, I am very disappointed to find that KDE as shipped in Fedora 
doesn't directly support UPNP sharing and that none of the popular Linux 
media players (VLC, Totem, Amarok, etc) have UPNP support built into 
them via plug ins from a Fedora repository.  It takes much mucking 
around to add UPNP functionality to these applications.

Thanks
