    AX56U traffic log questions.

    I use the standard process to save the traffic monitor file to USB every hour. I prefer to keep the daily traffic data for the long term, though, so I run a "copy_logs" script every morning as a scheduled cron job. It performs a number of housekeeping functions, including archiving the system...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    I'm running a media server on RT-AC68U with 386.14 - no issues. If I recall correctly, the 386 branch is still on version 1.2 of minidlna, which has been unchanged for some time. As others have said, suggest removing minidlna.postconf temporarily and see if it builds a db based only on the...

    Help! Unable to get Asus RT-AX86U Working

    Double-check your PC's ethernet adapter settings to confirm your ipv4 protocol is not set to anything other than to obtain an IP and DNS server address automatically. Then check details... IP should be 192.168.50.xxx If it's anything else, reboot the PC. Is the ethernet port on the pc...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 386.14 is now available for AC models

    Noted on RT-AC68U: The startup sysdate (before time is updated from the internet) has changed from 5/4/18 to 12/31/23 (technically 1/1/24 00:00 GMT). If you have any scripts that loop pending the setting of the date and time, check your logic. source: 388.8: #define RC_BUILDTIME...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    No, 94% available. /dev/mtdblock9 48128 2792 45336 6% /jffs Since it's happened a few times, now, I'm going to have to keep a close eye on it and see if I can determine what triggers it. In troubleshooting, I've tried deactivating and reactivating OpenVPN, and the...

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Just completed a second reboot and passwords survived this time. Can't explain it. Passwords were there yesterday, gone after one reboot this morning, but present after a second one. Going to have to research further to replicate the issue.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    Current release (3004.388.8) on RT-AX86U. I've seen the passwords disappear 3-4x, but didn't associate it with a reboot until today, so the problem has probably existed for a few releases.

    Bug with corrupted passwords in OpenVPN Server

    I'm experiencing this same issue... OpenVPN passwords other than the admin account are lost on reboot. Curious if anyone has developed a scripted solution to his issue.

    Flash Drive was getting pretty hot

    If plugged in directly, they do get noticeably hot. I use extender cables. The vast majority of the heat seems to be conducted in from the router and not generated in the flash drive.

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    You're going to have to have a directory structure that you can set up in the GUI, and that can only be a USB. You may be able to go around the GUI and define something independently, but that's territory I haven't explored. I trigger my setup script in service-event-end and I look for $1 to...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    There is an active watch process when miniDLNA is running that processes changes to files/directories as they occur. Every time a file/directory is added/modified/deleted, the change is reflected to the SQL database. The .nfo format is like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    FYI, I was able to mount and remove a remote Samba share on my RT-AX86U with the following commands: mkdir /tmp/mnt/(your mount point) mount -t cifs //192.168.50.xxx/(folder) /tmp/mnt/(your mount point) -o username=(your username),password=(your password) umount -l /tmp/mnt/(your mount point)...

    Need help setting up DLNA server

    As others have said, the difficult part is going to find a way to create a mount point on the router. If you're able to successfully do that, you may or may not be able to add that remote file system to the index list. If not, you'll need to have a folder structure on the router's storage...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.7 is now available

    Dirty upgrade from 388.5. No issues. WAN aggregation, cron job scheduling, dnsmasq setup, startup scripting, usb drive mounting all worked as expected. Media server indexing, logging and playback all worked as expected. Had to re-export and reload SSL certificate to Windows (expected).

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Check your dnsmasq.conf file. I can't remember which version made the change, but there were some changes made to basic .conf files within the last several months where keywords that were previously defaulted and not in the basic .conf file were now included. I saw it in minidlna.conf. If...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    I saw a similar problem with the minidlna.conf file. The system-generated default version had a "log_dir=" line in it that was not there in the previous release. I had been redirecting the log file with a "pc_append" command in minidlna.postconf and that resulted in the conf file having two...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    No locale error in /jffs/minidlna.log? and log entries are not dated 1969? Concerned that the timestamp error may be carrying into the watch process... I'll need to load it again and test further. Web status page was working fine for me.

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    I use a post-config script to modify minidlna.conf, but only to change the location of the log file and similar items. So nothing at all in /jffs/.minidlna/minidlna.log? Odd. Definitely not starting, then. Mine builds the database, and even seems to broadcast ok, but the transition to the...

    Release Asuswrt-Merlin 3004.388.6 is now available

    Is your minidlna.log clean (lacking the "unset locale" error) and showing the correct date?
