hi all i have a osx 10.7 server, have loaded xbmc on as advised by imediashare to help me use my iphoto and itunes albums better across the air for beaming and reviewing. however i cannot get the xbmc server to broadcast, i can see it from xbmc remote for ipad, i can see it from constellation think these both use http. i have te upnp setting checked in settings along with broadcast through zeroconf. i have been able to airplay from my ipad through imediashare and onto my xbmc server on the imac. but i cannot see the server at all on any other dlna device. i have previously run twonky and have disabled it but not uninstalled it. twonky worked fine but it doesnt show iphoto info correctly so want to try and get xbmc working . any ideas please help . all running on the same wireless lan and no issues with connectivity other than this

You have to enable System -> Services -> UPnP -> "Share video and music libraries through UPnP"
It will expose your movies and music (not sure about pictures - i think this is not supported yet). So for using XBMC as an UPnP Server you need to scrape your media into the database (search our wiki - its described there).
