    minidlna config unsuccessful

    Interesting ... usually malloc errrors are solved by a swapfile, but perhaps that code around "strict_dlna=yes" is just buggy. I've never tried it, so can't confirm. Just by being discussed here will probably cover it, as I believe Rmerlin (Eric) usually peruses most of these threads. But if...

    USB unmount error

    Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware of that tool, but could be very useful. For others wondering, it's available via Entware ('opkg install lsof').

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    So it looks like you confirmed one of the 3 minidlna processes is dying when adding a new file to the media library, whether you do it via Samba or directly. Good bit of detective work. I'm afraid your only option at this point is to downgrade the firmware to a previous version unless you're...

    USB unmount error

    Kalo, Thanks for the feedback. The 'entware' in $1/entware is whatever you chose to name the "entware" directory in your setup. It can be any legal Linux directory name as that is the only direct reference to it. I chose to name it "opt" in my setup, so it would be same name whether I'm...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    Any errors in the minidlna.log file related to the "add a file and it goes away" failure? (The log file should be in the db_dir '/opt/app/minidlna' for you I believe.) When I run the ps command (when minidlna is running properly), I see 3 processes (not including the 'grep' line you show)...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    Great! So glad you got through the issues. But now I'm curious about the problem you're seeing with minidlna failing when adding a file to your library, which appears to be specific to the *66* line of routers on the latest firmware. When it fails, are there any messages in the system log or...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    First, I can visually see 2 problems in your minidlna.postconf file: 1) The first line of the file should be the '#!/bin/sh', and then you can make the second line the extra logger you added. A shell script should always start with the '#!/bin/sh' as it tells the OS what interpreter to load to...

    Restricting access to dlna(mini)/UPnP Media Server

    I don't think there is any config option in minidlna to restrict access like you want. There is the 'network_interface' option that restricts access to specific network interfaces, but I don't think it'll help. Here's an idea: are your neighbors connecting to your network strictly via...

    USB unmount error

    When you say 'Entware doesn't work' I'm going to assume you mean the services run under Entware are no longer running. If you're using the standard setup with Entware services started by the wait loop in 'services-start', you simply need to manually rerun that script...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    I think we're discussing 2 different issues here. Lajos is having problems getting a specific setup working (one that I recommend in a Wiki article I wrote). He's not yet at the point where it is successfully launching minidlna as intended. The issues being reported relative to 380.65 seem to...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    Glad to see you're making progress, but it still seems like you have a problem with the minidlna.postconf script. 1) After running it manually, look at '/etc/minidlna.conf'. Does it look like the correct merged version then? 2) The quoted log entries in your post I assume are from the...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    I'm not seeing the minidlna problems described with 380.65 on my RT-AC68U, so I'm wondering if they are specific to the *66* line of routers which are MIPS based (rather than ARM as on the AC68). I also noticed this comment in the git repository for inotify.c: RMerl Merged with GPL 380_4180...

    [Release] Asuswrt-Merlin 380.65 is now available

    I noticed in 380.65 inotify watches added by minidlna are now elevated to the 'WARN' level in the minidlna log, which means I now have >1000 extra (rather worthless) warnings in my minidlna log on every media server restart. In the previous release, they were at the 'INFO' level, so the...

    USB unmount error

    Another option is to run your fsck at boot before anything can get started on it. Rmerlin suggests this in https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/User-scripts under 'pre-mount', and I went ahead and wrote a detailed Wiki article on how to do it here...

    minidlna config unsuccessful

    Hi Lajos, Glad to see someone is trying this scheme I'm recommending, but also sorry you're having difficulty. Based on the symptoms you describe, it looks like the custom minidlna.postconf isn't running since the 'mv' command you reference is the first thing that happens in that script...

    [SOLVED] Media Server's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) FIXED

    I agree with @Makaveli, it's correct as is. On my Win10 PCs, the device properties dialogue has 3 tabs: it's showing port 80 on the 'UPnP' tab, but port 8200 on the 'Hardware' tab. I think the port 80 reference points to the Web GUI for configuration (which is indeed the http URL for the...

    [SOLVED] Media Server's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) FIXED

    Well, if you do indeed already have a 1-line file named minidlna.conf under /jffs/configs with the 'uuid=' line in it, all you need to do is rename it to minidlna.conf.add. cd /jffs/configs mv minidlna.conf minidlna.conf.add That's it. Reboot (or just restart minidlna via the GUI), and it...

    [SOLVED] Media Server's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) FIXED

    Could you share exactly how and what you modded? All the extra changes you show are separate entries in the minidlna.conf file, so it appears you inadvertently whacked several lines in there when adding the uuid line. By chance did you add the line to /jffs/configs/minidlna.conf instead of...

    [SOLVED] Media Server's UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) FIXED

    Fitz, genius! Thanks for sharing. I didn't even know I had this problem until I opened 'Devices and Printers' on a couple of Win10 PCs and OMG saw all the phantom media servers! I'm running the built-in minidlna, so my fix had to go into my config under /jffs, but the change was trivial with...

    Entware broken after reboot on 380.64_2

    The partition must be unmounted (umount /dev/sda) before you can run e2fsck. And 'umount' will fail if there is anything active on the drive, such as entware applications started from rc.unslung. So kill anything running from entware on that drive, then umount it, then run e2fsck. Edit: you...
