MediaTomb and port basics

English Multimedia
#1

Not having success with Mediatomb at the moment. Simple stuff like ports stumps me many times. Only a cursory understanding of the topic.

I have opened one port under Firewall / Advanced / Additional Allowed ports UDP 1900.
But research also indicates ports starting at 49152 for its web interface.
Do I put 49152 in the TCP ports section of my firewall setup page? Or does that go in the UDP port section with 1900?
Or does it need to be a range of numbers starting with 49152?
Or do I need to specify it at all?
Thanks for the push!

Linux 3.11.10-11-desktop x86_64
openSUSE 13.1 (x86_64)
KDE: 4.11.5
4 Linux boxes networked via Samba through a NetGear WNDR3700 router.

Yes, this is what you do. HTTP connections are always TCP, not UDP. :slight_smile:
