That being said, I am far from able to assert, that this functions as intended; apparently, there should be more settings[1], and those that we do have don't seem to work either. The currently available settings depend on gnome-user-share(1) and rygel(2). (1) should be accessible via dav://$HOSTNAME, where $HOSTNAME is the host name you've configured in /etc/config.scm plus ".local" in most cases. It seems to rely on apache or httpd; either way, starting it manually doesn't work and changing the settings doesn't seem to do anything. Attempting to connect to this server (that isn't spawned) yields an "invalid argument" error. (2) can be started manually, but is not started automatically through the settings dialog. It seems like rygel actively listens to changes on $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/rygel.conf, however, which is where GNOME stores those settings. In other words it would be possible to circumvent this issue through a shepherd user service. To access the media, a UPnP-capable media player such as VLC or device is required. I fear we don't ship anything like that with our gnome- desktop-service. On a related note, the tracker service, which is required by GNOME Music and optional for rygel seems to be missing and manually starting it while having tracker enabled in (2) leads to a trap instruction.
