[Owncloud] Integrating MediaTomb

[Frank Karlitschek]

Hi Mark,

thats a cool idea. This would be very helpful for ownCloud users to stream media via upnp and dlna.

The problem is that ownCloud is pure php and we don´t want to include any binary code into ownCloud itself.
But we could build an ownCloud "App" with php which acts as a bridge between ownCloud and MediaTomb which has to be installed on the system independently from ownCloud obviously. 
Or we could integrate it as an optional feature into the existing media app.

@Robin: What do you think?

Cheers
Frank
