minidlna server icon missing in 376.47

[dlucks]

Hi Merlin,
I updated my AC66U to 376.47, mainly to get the latest security fixes but to also see if there were any improvements in the minidlna server. (I'm the author of the Roku Media Player app that runs on the Roku).
I've noticed that the icon for the RT-AC66U is coming back as:
http://192.168.1.1:8200/icons/lrg.png
http://192.168.1.1:8200/icons/lrg.jpg
http://192.168.1.1:8200/icons/sm.png
http://192.168.1.1:8200/icons/sm.jpg

None of these files exist when I try to read them. I get an http error.

When I ssh to the ac66u and do a find, there are no files in any directories with that name.

I believe icons existed on the previous release I had loaded over 6 months ago.
I'm not sure if the names were different though.
thanks

favicon is not the same thing. The support for a favicon is not standard in the DLNA specs.

The icon shows properly for me, both in Windows 8.1's Network Locations as well as within Plugplayer on my Nexus 4 phone. Let me know if 376.48 Beta does fix it for you, otherwise it could be a model-specific issue (I have an RT-AC87U here).

I don't think those files would be visible in the filesystem. If I remember correctly, Asus encoded them as binary data inside the minidlna source code.

EDIT: Yep, here they are: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/blob/master/release/src/router/minidlna/icons.c

The icon has been missing since at least 4 firmwares builds ago in the Rt-acc66u, i don't know about the other models.

376.48b beta 3 still does not show the icon, just a generic windows icon and a question mark on lg tv,samsung tv, tablets and phones.
Thanks.
