+Serviio DNLA Server is a free media server. It allows you to stream
+your media files (music, video or images) to renderer devices (e.g. a
+TV set, Bluray player, games console or mobile phone) on your connected
+home network.
+
+There is also a paid for Pro edition which further enhances the
+possibilities of sharing content in your connected household. If you
+don't buy a Pro edition licence, Serviio automatically will turn to
+Free version after 14 days. This SlackBuild provides no Pro edition
+licence.
+
+Serviio works with many devices from your connected home (TV,
+Playstation 3, XBox 360, smart phones, tablets, etc.). It supports
+profiles for particular devices so that it can be tuned to maximise the
+device's potential and/or minimize lack of media format playback
+support (via transcoding).
+
+Serviio needs a serviio user and a serviio group with GID=337 and
+UID=337 to work properly. Run these commands:
+
+ groupadd -g 337 serviio
+ useradd -d /opt/serviio -g 337 -u 337 -U serviio
+
+This SlackBuild also provides a /etc/rc.d/rc.serviio file. If you want
+to start Serviio at boot time, add these lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local:
+
+ # start Serviio DNLA Server:
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.serviio] ; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.serviio start
+ fi
+
+Also, add to rc.local_shutdown
+
+ # stop Serviio DNLA Server
+ if [ -x /etc/rc.d/rc.serviio] ; then
+ /etc/rc.d/rc.serviio start
+ fi
