I'm looking for a DLNA server what runs on my old Synology DS211+ (ARMv5TE compliant CPU) what provides Album based on tags, time periods etc. I haven't found a server yet what can do that. A stand-alone DLNA Server feeded by digiKam would be ideal and enormous powerful combination.

WARNING : with digiKam 6.0.0 and later, we will not support kipi interface anymore. All tools are now located in digiKam core as well for a plan to provide a more power-full integration with Batch Queue Manager and to be able to export a workflow on a web-service. All export tools are now available everywhere : album view, Image editor, Light table, and Showfoto. Previously, only album view from digiKam core was able to deal with export tools through libkipi. All export tools are now located here : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/webservices All export tools use now a dedicated interface to communicate with the application : - digiKam (database) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/libs/database/utils/ifaces/dbinfoiface.h - Showfoto (files metadata) : https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/core/utilities/assistants/common/dmetainfoiface.h There is not direct use of digiKam database for compatibility with Showfoto. We plan later to provide a dynamic loading of export tools using a plugins mechanism. This will reduce overloading of the internal core libraries. A dedicated devel branch have been created for that, but it's not yet complete: https://cgit.kde.org/digikam.git/tree/?h=development/dplugins But take a care, digiKam export tools as plugins will not be shared with another external application. API will still private and only shared between Showfoto and digiKam core. The experience with libkipi was bad and complex to maintain/extend in time. Gilles Caulier
A new project from my github account was created with UPNP sdk used in digiKam core and a simple CLI tool to share contents on DLNA compatible devices. https://github.com/cgilles/digikam-mediaserver-standalone I close this file now... Gilles Caulier
