How to install Samsung AllShare or recommendations for other DNLA Server options?

Question

How can I install Samsung Allshare ( a windows app) on ubuntu 11.04?

I have tried unsuccessfully using Wine.

Alternatively, can you recommend other DNLA server options?

Solution

You cannot install AllShare on linux without wine but I would not recommend that at all.

Why don't you try using a better DLNA server like Serviio?

It's free, works great with my Samsung TV, has more file format support then AllShare and does the job on the background not bothering you.

I mentioned Serviio but there are a bunch of free DLNA servers out there. Do a Google search on DLNA servers and choose one. Start with Serviio tough, it's recommended.

Why cant you do it via wine - what is the installation issue that you are battling with? The requirement says you need .net3.5 - so have you installed .net3.5 via winetricks? Please edit your question with any responses. Thanks.
