Asuswrt-Merlin 378.54_2 is now available

[d4tum]

Hi Merlin, thanks for the ace firmware.
DLNA in .54 is only picking up the 1st of 2 folders. I tried many fixes to no avail.
Reverted to .53 and in an instant finds my 2 folders

Hi merlin
Not running download master
How do i check the logfile in /tmp

Over SSH, you can check the size of the files there with:

ls -lh /tmp

See if anything takes up megabytes of space.

One moore thing i noticed in the tools system info bootloader cfe is unknown and driver version is none?!?
reinstall the firmware?

Are you running a modified bootloader? The only Asus model that does not support the bootloader report is the RT-N16.

While on that page, check also how much RAM is free.

There's been no code change in minidlna for months. Make sure you don't have a corrupted media file causing the minidlna scanner to crash.

The bootloader has nothing to do with the firmware. Since it stops working after a while, the most likely reason is you have something on your router that's eating up all your RAM. After a while, it runs out of RAM for running certain core services, or executing operations such as extracting your boot loader version.

99 MB free is definitely abnormal. Disable the media server if it's enabled, it might be misconfigured.

Nothing left to turn off.
In the system status cpu
Core 1 is allways around 40% and core 2 at 2%

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bloody share/cloud disk was off turned it on off on off now the memory is at 200mb +/- 10mb weeeeeee so happy
tnx Merlin for all the help and your patience

Maybe looking at what is causing the 40% cpu will tell us what process is a runaway (it should be virtually 0 at idle)...

via telnet/ssh enter 'top' (no quotes) and see what process is at the top of the list.

for 2.4 GHz i have set channel 13,

but in Wireles log i see 9l.

it's a bug ?

9l means it's using channel 9+11 (l = lower).

The Wireless Log is the actual report coming straight from the wireless driver, so it reports what it's actually using.

BTW, channel 13 is only available in very few regions, such as Japan...

When setting samba shares there's a option to hide the disk names (like when you have only one share for instance) but didn't change the share behaviour. Anyone else notice the same?

ALL: I'm doing a "soft release" for 378.54_2, so you guys can have a shot at them. If all goes well, I will "officially" publish them in their usual location a day or two.

Grab them from here for now: http://www.mediafire.com/?bj94sbhrh7e49

Changes:

• FIXED: The exported opvn config for clients had the incorrect port value.
• FIXED: Busybox's zcip was missing a patch from 378_4950, preventing it from working (and in turn preventing igmpproxy from working for people with PPPoE connections where their modem does not provide any DHCP lease to the physical WAN interface)

IPTV now working on PPPoE , RT-N66U / Plusnet TV (UK BT)

I can also confirm IPTV (IGMPPROXY) now working on RT-AC87U with Plusnet TV in UK

Thanks Merlin for the fix, all your efforts and a great firmware.

THX for reply.
About channel 13. I live in Poland and i can select this channel without problems. I use this becouse other channel is busy.

I like the new Firmware, snappy and good. yay

i have set "Simpler share naming (without the disk name)" and for me work ok, i not see disk name

Thanks Vant, oddly still showing sda1 to me.

I'm not able to upload... I get a message that the file format is invalid (378.54_1). I have a RC-AC87U and I'm upgrading from 378.53

Any ideas? I downloaded with Firefox... and the ZIP file seems intact. The firmware file used:

RT-AC87U_378.54_1.trx

Hi Merlin, and thanks for another great fix coming from you. Is this for RT-AC68U as well?
