====== mediatomb ======
  * download source from http://mediatomb.cc/
  * install [[mysql]], and make sure to build with **%%--enable-thread-safe-client%%**
  * install [[spidermonkey]], and make sure to copy header file into js/src
  * build mediatomb<code>
./configure \
--prefix=/usr/local \
--mandir=/usr/local/man \
--infodir=/usr/local/info \
--enable-mysql \
--with-mysql=/usr/local/mysql \
--enable-libjs \
--with-js-h=/Users/billh/builds/js/src

make

sudo make install
</code>
  * setup mysql database to only allow local connections from mediatomb<code>
<login to mysql>
create database mediatomb;
grant all on mediatomb.* to 'mediatomb'@'localhost';
</code>
  * start mediatomb (allow it to create ~/.mediatomb/<files>)
  * after it sets up files and is running, type ctrl-c to shutdown mediatomb
  * edit ~/.mediatomb/config.xml<code>

</code>
  * start mediatomb again - db tables will be created in mysql
  * add any files you want to share in the web based UI at %%http://<host>:49152/%%

===== Permanent Configuration =====
After completing the above steps, do the following to have mediatomb run securely on startup:
  * shut down mediatomb
  * edit config.xml
    * disable the UI so everyone won't have access to see every file on your host<code>
  <server>
    <ui enabled="no">
</code>
    * remove the <home> reference line<code>
<!-- delete or comment out this line entirely -->
<home>/your/home/dir/.mediatomb</home>
</code>
  * move the .mediatomb directory out of your home folder to /usr/local/mediatomb (no dot)
  * change the permissions to nobody<code>
sudo chown -R nobody:nobody /usr/local/mediatomb
</code>
  * create a Mac StartupItem, using the following<code bash>
#!/bin/sh

##
# Configure MediaTomb Server
##

. /etc/rc.common

StartService ()
{
    if [ "${MEDIATOMB:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then

		now=`date +%s`
		let "limit = $now + 60"

		/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -s -u root --password=rootpass status > /dev/null
		while [ $? -ne 0 ] && [ $now -lt $limit ]
		do
				let "now = `date +%s`"
				if [ $now -ge $limit ]; then
					ConsoleMessage "MediaTomb could not be started because MySQL was not running after the timeout limit"
					exit 1
				fi

				/usr/local/mysql/bin/mysqladmin -s -u root --password=rootpass status > /dev/null
		done

		sudo -u nobody /usr/local/bin/mediatomb --daemon --home /usr/local --cfgdir mediatomb --logfile /usr/local/var/mediatomb.log
	fi

}

StopService ()
{
	ConsoleMessage "Stopping MediaTomb Server"
	sudo killall -15 mediatomb
}

RestartService ()
{
    if [ "${MEDIATOMB:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
		ConsoleMessage "Restarting MediaTomb Server"
		sudo killall -1 mediatomb
    else
        StopService
    fi

}
