start mediatomb again - db tables will be created in mysql

add any files you want to share in the UI (http://<host>:49152/)

shut down mediatomb and disable the UI so everyone won't have access to see every file on your host

  <server>
    <ui enabled="no">

Note: may also build with libjs, libmagic, id3lib, taglib in the future
