    You need to install the package totem-plugins-extra. You can find it in the Software Centre or just use:

    sudo apt-get install totem-plugins-extra

    from the command line.

    Now open Totem, go to Edit -> Plugin, check that the coherence plugin is installed.

    In the dropbox of the sidebar select Coherence DLNA/UPnP Client. You should be able to browse your server from there.

    You can find more info in the totem plug-ins webpage.
