Kernels (VPN,uPNP, DLNA support)

[sverbanic]

With the various kernels out there for the gTablet, I have found it odd that none seem to support uPnP/DLNA. I'm running TNT Lite 4.22 on my primary tablet and experiment daily with other ROM's on my test tablet. Both are Viewsonic gTablets. What I find very interesting is that the port of NI's Adam to the gtab supports VPN and DLNA built-in. No modified kernels are required and DLNA works great.

Maybe some of the dev's (Roebeet, Clemsyn, Pershoot) that know a lot more than me could help figure out how to get DLNA working in TNT Lite with a custom kernel using the gAdam port as a guide. My favorite ROM is by far TNT Lite with Clemsyn's kernel, by the way.

I am willing to offer any help I can provide but I'm not a dev. but can certainly supply files from both systems.

I didnt have any problem at all using DNLA or upnp with any of the roms. And Im pretty sure that clemsyn and pershoot support vpn.

Wow that's great. I tried using a few DLNA server programs on my tablet but none of them got picked up by any of my TV's. Using the gAdam port, they both (iMedia Share and Skifta) got picked up like a charm. Maybe I am missing something on the TNT Lite installs? On the gAdam, I just installed the App. Would you mind sharing what program you used and what other steps you might have done?

I think i installed upnpplay and it picked up both my upnp and dlna stream. There were a couple other programs as well but tha one seemed to work the best.

uPnP should work OOTB, even with TnT (Lite). But CIFS / SMB access does not.

The gADAM port actually uses pershoot's kernel, which might explain the differences you see. I did that as I could not get the stock Adam kernel working on the GTAB without making partition changes via nvflash, and I didn't really want to do that. So I opted to using pershoot's kernel and also the CIFS module.

I don't do this for TnT Lite as I prefer to keep that "close to stock" - users are welcome to use whatever custom ROM they want after-the-fact, but that's up to them.
