Many thanks for your kind help,
Installed xargs,Now got this:

ASUSWRT-Merlin RT-AC68U_3.0.0.4 Fri Jan 31 05:21:52 UTC 2014
wei@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian start
Chroot'ed services seems to be already started, exiting...
wei@RT-AC68U:/tmp/home/root# /opt/etc/init.d/S99debian stop
Stopping chroot'ed Debian services...
[FAIL] Stopping minidlna: failed!

I wrote Service-start was:
#!/bin/sh
sleep 10
mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda1/debian/dev/
mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/sda1/debian/proc/
mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sda1/debian/sys/
/mnt/sda1/debian/utils/chroot /mnt/sda1/debian service lighttpd start

May be it is no good??

Wait, you don't have xargs installed from point 5
Outside debian install findutils

ipkg install nano http://goo.gl/5Ltmig

/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian stop
One more time
/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian stop
And start
/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian start

Or just reboot router and go to 192.168.1.1:8200

Many thanks!! got it working! Deleted mount command from /jffs/scripts/services-start.
Add Lighttpd to /opt/etc/chroot-services.list get owncloud start.
Everything is working fine.

Everything works fine without:

mount -o bind /dev/ /mnt/sda1/debian/dev/
mount -o bind /proc/ /mnt/sda1/debian/proc/
mount -o bind /sys/ /mnt/sda1/debian/sys/

Why is this needed?

 

[TeHashX]

to install other packages inside debian or to modify some options like I wroted in the first post, ex.
apt-get install lighttpd
apt-get install transmission

How is Twonky server compared to minidlna?

 

[RAZRus]

minidlna.conf

TeHashX, please tell where I can find minidlna.conf and log files?

Sry for stupid question but what is debian?
I have transmission install through optware, is the debian version better?
Does debian high memory/cpu/hdd usage?

Sry for stupid question but what is debian?

Is a version of linux running on router without all services like a full distribution, read here first lines http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=10558&highlight=debian

I have transmission install through optware, is the debian version better?

For beginners optware version is better

Does debian high memory/cpu/hdd usage?

Memory usage is very low

How is Twonky server compared to minidlna?

Only tested Twonky briefly, but it's awesome. You can configure through the web interface and it has many virtual folders such as 'recently added', 'last played', etc. Only problem is my new Samsung TV does not conform to DLNA standards and I get no thumbnails or resume. Everything works fine on my old 2010 C series Samsung though.

I just tried Serviio and man I'm sold. It has all the Twonky features and then some (android app, pulls in movie metadata like xbmc, online rss video sources) and most importantly, everything works on my new Samsung. To date, only minidlna has worked. The issue is that I wanted to keep things simple and have everything running on the router, since it's on 24/7 anyways, but Serviio won't run on the router...not enough memory. It also requires purchasing license.

I installed twonky server and it has some nice features but unfortunately no bookmarks and resume support for my E 2013 series tv.

 

[hpp8140]

Yeah all Samsung compliance issues. Every server I've tried works with BubbleUpnP Android client.

Unfortunately twonky server is not free, maybe someone knows a version that I'm not aware, please post it here.
Installation is very easy, I setup v6 and v7, see screenhots

Back to minidlna, is there any way to add subtitle support?
With the stock media player I was able to have subtitles

Subtitles works fine here, witch is your dlna player?

I'm using an LG smart tv.
I'm also trying with VLC, but it crashes as soon as I try to browser for DLNA servers

VLC crashes? Is built in media server stopped?

Try to rebuild minidlna database:

/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian stop
rm -r /mnt/[COLOR="Red"]sda1[/COLOR]/debian/opt/minidlna
/opt/etc/init.d/S99debian start
