Public bug reported:
is this the right package for the media sharing UI in settings on ubuntu
21.10? i was just trying to set up a local network share and the UI for
"media sharing" made me think ubuntu thought "people want to share
music, video, and pictures folders, so we'll just have those preselected
as shareable directories on the network." i know what DLNA is, but it
never entered my mind that's what this was for. it should just say
something like "via DLNA to things like smart tv's" or something.
also, the box that music, videos, and pictures is in is exactly filled
up by those 3 buttons, and the "+" button below them is not visible, so
it is not apparent you can scroll down and it is there. put the '+'
button outside the box so it can't be scrolled away, and show the
directories just like normal directories in the file viewer, not as
buttons.
