Thanks for the elaboration, Jens. Unfortunately, rygel is still not autostarting for me in 12.10 (see also Thomas Hood's similar experience in comment #13 above).
I performed the following steps: 1. Install rygel in Ubuntu 12.10. 2. Check that "Make local sound devices available as DNLA/UPnP Media Server" is ticked in paprefs. 3. Check that "Share media through DLNA" is ticked in rygel-preferences. 4. Log out and back in. rygel is not running. As for point b), that's a perfectly good point. If rygel should be started automatically as a result of configuring sharing, there's no need in any case to make it available as a user-visible service. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/827030 Title: Rygel does not autostart To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rygel/+bug/827030/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
