Sure.

It is attached, only mildly tested.
Install it using 'ipkg install /path/to/minidlna_1.1.0_arm.ipk'

As the minor release number has increased, there might exists some issues, that's why I don't release it until I have a confirmation that it works fine.
Please test it and report if you needed to do *anything* to make it run.
It should now run under user 'minidlna', the install script changes the /var/lib/minidlna ownership to minidlna.

Joao

1.1.0 - Released 04-April-2013
--------------------------------
- Add support for other operating systems.
- Switch to autoconf from our handcrafted genconfig.sh.
- Add configuration option for UUID.
- Add configuration option to specify the user to run as.
- Add support for limiting a media dir to multiple media types.
- Force a rescan if we detect a new or missing media_dir entry.
- Fix crash caused by certain TiVo clients.
- Fix crash bug on video files with some ffmpeg library versions.
- Add support for TiVo MPEG-TS files.
- Add some logging and forking tweaks to work better with systemd.
- Validate or escape user input to prevent SQL injection.
- Add forced sorting support for Panasonic devices.

 ipkg install /root/minidlna_1.1.0_arm.ipk
Installing minidlna (1.1.0) to root...
Nothing to be done
An error ocurred, return value: 1.

What is to do?

I always get an Error : "UPnP SOAP response cut short, to not exceed the max response size" 
I also have really a lot of files
This Error can be fixed with a self compiled package.
Can i do this with the box ?

the minidlna author says that the culprit is the client...

No, only recompiling minidlna.
Please fill-in a bug  report in sourceforge, with a link to this topic.

Hi, can you do little hack for me.
Make minidlna to include rmvb file in scanning. I checked few chinese forum, minidlna infact support rmvb file just it does not include in the scanning process.

Please search the net on this subject, see if it is possible and how to do it, and post the relevant links.
Then I will see what I can do.

It does not applies to minidlna-1.1.0.
The upnpsoap.c file has a different structure, can't apply even manually; the other patches can be applied, some manually.

source
http://www.pppei.net/blog/post/589

It seems to be for minidlna-1.0.24.
OpenWRT, the patch source, is using minidlna-1.0.25, and the above patch is not available for it


Can you dig a bit more?

I gone thru the source for 1.0.24 and 1.1.0 for upnpsoap.c the patch can be skip for 1.1.0.

Let me know it cannot be compile. then it is beyond outside my knowledge of minidlna.

Again.. i would like to thanks you for all the effort for this... ALT-f has been great

OK, I skipped the  upnpsoap.c patch hunk and recompiled, you can find it attached.

As it is untested, and I don't know if the patch solves your issue, I'm not releasing it until you confirm that it works as expected.
So you have to download it to the box and install it manually yourself using the 'ipkg install minidlna_1.1.0-1_arm.ipk' command when logged in as the 'root' user.

Please report-back.

Starting next Monday (July the 1st), and during the next month, I will have limited net and box availability and I will not be readily available.

Lua? Alt-F don't use 'lua'.

Are you sure that you are on the right forum? D-Link DNS-323 NAS

Seems to be solved after update the packages list.
My router is Dlink DIR-825, with open wrt "Barrier Braker"

Now i have another issue: if i want to add more files, have to delete the db file and restart minidlna.
