Minidlna

[diagdave]

Hi just wanted to announce that i have compiled minidlna for SnakeOS:

Details are here:
http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/MiniDLNA

Download here:
http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/downloads/list

Edit the minidlna.conf file to match your needs. I recommend setting
the cache folder to a usb drive.

Any troubles let me know!
David

[Duncan McQueen]

Hello,

As I am trying to work on the package manager for snakeos - can you
give a brief overview of how you compiled it?

Thanks,

Duncan

Hi,

just some more information on the snake site:

In the wikipage I made a page for Mini DLNA:
http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/MiniDLNA

and put this Great feature in the feature list here :
http://code.google.com/p/snake-os/wiki/Feature_List

Regards,
Robert

[Chem]

Thanks David, great work!
I tried it briefly with my Samsung C650 TV and it works well. It plays
1080p mkv files, mediatomb does that too, but it also shows srt
subtitles with avi files and that mediatomb won't do.

Hi  diagdave:

                       I´m a linux newbie. Would you mind to tell me how to install minidlna, step by step? I can get into console snake by ssh with putty, and to transfer files with filezilla or winscp.

 Thanks.

Hi robert:

              What´s that it mean:

                                        {FILENAME.EXT}.cover.jpg works as well as all those in the config file.

                                         Static Libs: vorbis ogg sqlite3 exif jpeg FLAC id3tag avformat avutil avcodec

Does static libs inside the file or Snake Os? Have i copy them from somewhere?

thanks

Hi David,

Thank you for posting miniDLNA binary. I'm not so sure but I thing
this must be a static lib built in binary considering its size. It's
worked on my NS-K330.

However I could not solve the subtitle problem and thumbnails of my
movies. I want to use them with my PS3.

I've found a very good guide for those who want to understand how
miniDLNA works:
http://www.openstora.com/wiki/index.php?title=MiniDLNA_How-To_%28with_guide_to_updating%29
It explains how it uses the SQLite3 for mapping media shared folders,
how to minimal configure it and how to use it (not necessarily use
initialization scripts i.e start/stop if you don't want to).

As far the above guide pointed, miniDLNA does not transcode
differentely of Mediatomb that uses mencoder (mplayer encoder)or
ffmpeg, which I've also tried to use as a transcode profile of
Mediatomb config for SRT types and a script for catching correspondent
video file with same name and use it transcoding on the flyght for
script output with the command (besides other flags) like "ffmpeg -i
original.avi -newsubtitle original.srt $script_output" but no success
due memory and cpu lack.

Reading miniDLNA project page, srt subtitle support and thumbnails are
not features of original source and a PATCH must be applied.
David, could you please confirm whether this binary was compiled with
some featured patch for subtitles or transcode? I found this patch
below:
(http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?
func=detail&aid=2854215&group_id=243163&atid=1121519)

Since transcode it's not a option and following UPnP protocol, it must
be client("player") side responsability to ask for the RAW data. Thus,
"players" must ask for the media and subtitle (txt, srt) like two
requests simultaneously and gather them while video showing like VLC
and other players do (TVs too - XML files). Am I right?

I could not test the srt suppport on my Samsung TV player yet. But
could this be a problem with PS3?
Or should miniDLNA maybe map also my srt files at its database to be
requested? Only my avi files can be seen on my PS3.

I'm testing with a movie avi file and srt file with same file name at
my shared folder. This folder is in my external HD, ext3 formated and
mounted on debian chrooted enviroment at my NAS running SnakeOS.
Also I've configured an opened port on my router (DLINK DIR-600),
added on my /etc/minidlna.conf file and rebuilt the database using -R
option.

I don't know if ther are any other configurations I'm missing.

Could somebody succeed on this issue?

I will try to log a test running miniDLNA with -d option later.


Thank you Robert to point me to this thread.

With many thanks.

[diagdave]

No patches just latest source. didn't try it with subs on my ps3 but
if a patch needs adding I can recompile. I have another binary with a
small change to increase thumbnails to 320x320 as I know this works on
ps3 but not other upnp devices,if you want that. My wife just gave
birth tonight so won't be for a few days.

Tired to install on new usb stick and get a segmentation Fault
issue !!!

Anyone have a straight forward way to install.... as I may be doing
something wrong !!

thanks

[diagdave]

Have you tried to redownload?
What Nas are you using? How much free ram before you start?

David

[Chem]

MiniDLNA works perfectly for me, much better than Mediatomb, thanks
again David (and congratulations on your newborn).
I have one question though, how can I make MiniDLNA autostart when the
NAS reboots? I have tried it the same way as I did with Mediatomb, but
I can't get it to work. What I've tried is, I've put the line "/usb/
sda1/minidlna/start.sh &" in the file "/etc/init.d/syslog" like this:


case "$1" in
start)
start
/usb/sda1/minidlna/start.sh &
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
/usb/sda1/minidlna/start.sh &
;;


And the start.sh script looks as follows:


#!/bin/sh

LAUNCHDIR=/usb/sda1/minidlna/

$LAUNCHDIR/minidlna -f minidlna.conf -d &


But it doesn't work. I don't know much about Linux unfortunately.

[diagdave]

You shouldn't need -d unless you want it not to run as a daemon try to
remove "-d &"

[Chem]

I noticed that without the -d, the inotify doesn't work, even while
it's set to yes in the conf file. The start.sh script works fine when
I run it myself, but not when the NAS reboots, maybe it's not far
enough in the boot process when it tries to start miniDLNA and it work
run... don't know, I'll keep looking.

If all else fails I'll make a cron job. I let my NAS reboot every
night, if the cron job runs start.sh every night as well, a couple
minutes after the NAS rebooted it should work too.

[Valtoir]

try this:

#!/bin/sh
LAUNCHDIR=/usb/sda1/minidlna

$LAUNCHDIR/minidlna -f minidlna.conf -d &

Note that no have "/" at end of 2nd line.
Regards,

Valtoir

2011/7/29 Chem <ivo...@yahoo.com>:

[Chem]

Thanks for your suggestion, I just tried it, but that didn't make it
autostart either.

[Valtoir]

Absolute path of minidlna is really "/usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna"?

2011/7/29 Chem <ivo...@yahoo.com>:

> Thanks for your suggestion, I just tried it, but that didn't make it

[Chem]

Yes the path is correct, the second "minidlna" is the file in the
folder "/usb/sda1/minidlna"
The script runs fine when I execute it manually.

[Valtoir]

And directly:

case "$1" in
start)
start

/usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna -f /usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna.conf -d &
;;
stop)
stop
;;
restart)
restart
/usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna -f /usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna.conf -d &
;;

Looking now, i think the error is relative path of minidlna.conf, but
you dont need a script only for one command line.

2011/7/29 Valtoir <valtoi...@gmail.com>:

[diagdave]

Just to avoid confusion just place it under start(){
and before PID=$(pgrep -f "syslogd")
that way you don't need it under start & restart as restart just runs
start.

Thats how i have it in my samba init.

Hi David,

Congrats about your newborn.

I confirm: I've tested on my Samsung TV UN55C8000 and Avi movie file
worked with SRT external file (same file at same folder). So, it must
be a problem with PS3 player or maybe an specific feature miniDLNA
does not support yet required by PS3 (http://tomatousb.org/forum/
t-329255).

However, even playing with my TV, I can't see thumbnails and from a
specific point of my movie, it's stopped streaming. I've checked the
movie and srt files, both runing ok at VLC player on Windows (not
corrupted).
I've attached a log file usind minidlna -d option at link below:
(http://sharex.xpg.com.br/files/2796371955/minidlna.log.html)


As you mentioned your binary doesn't have any patches, I'd like to ask
you when possible to compile with Samsung TV patches.
Looking at minidlna project page, I think theses patches were not
integrate to main code since some of them can invalidate other feature
according to discussions forums
I'll try to compile too but my cross-compilation enviroment is not
100% ok.. I'll try set things up this weekend.
I didn't see any feature requests at project page until yesterday for
PS3 support.

It would be nice also try uShare. I could compile it without libdlna
support. Although I could not run it because of share libs.
Could somebody succeed to run it? A static binary would be nice too.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

[Chem]

I'm sorry, I don't understand where and how to put the command now.
Could you post your samba init script, or the part that's relevant for
starting miniDLNA?

[diagdave]

chem: my samba http://pastebin.com/AmXBfJw0
bruno: isnt there a ushare already available. Do you have a link to
the patches?

David

[wayne holly]

When I look to see if minidlna is running vi ps uaxf I get the
following output.


924 root 12800 S ./minidlna -f minidlna.conf
925 root 12800 S ./minidlna -f minidlna.conf
926 root 12800 S N ./minidlna -f minidlna.conf

It looks like it is running 3 instances ?????

I start it via the start.sh script

Secondly, I can't see the minidlna server in my WMP12, but I can see
my TVMobili DLNA server.

Any ideas why ???? Maybe firewall etc on the NAS unit??

[diagdave]

Multiple instances are normal. Seperate instances are used to index
files and serve files to devices. Have you tried to run it in debug
mode or view the log when using wmp12.
Check your config for log location.
David

[Chem]

Thank you David, now it works.

The autostart now works, but strangest thing happens though, MiniDLNA
is agonizingly slow when started by the lines in samba init. So slow
that accessing a folder with lots of files makes my TV crash. Then
when I killall minidlna with Putty and run start.sh manually also with
Putty, which basically executes the same command, it is very fast, no
problem at all accessing the same folder. How can this be?

> > David- Hide quoted text -

[diagdave]

odd when running slow was it a clean reboot? if you run ps how many
instances of minidlna are running?
David

[Angel]

Hi:

    Does minidlna play mkv files? When i run it, my TV just can see one folder with one file inside. Rest of folders and files are missing. The minidlna.conf file are correctly setup.

Thanks

2011/7/30 diagdave <diag...@googlemail.com>

[diagdave]

minidlna doesn't 'play' anything, it can't transcode media. So its
upto the client i.e. your tv for supported file types.

Thanks diagdave:

                                My TV support mkv files, but i just can see one of them in a folder. The other folders and files are missing when i search on TV or  mediaplayer, so i think it´s not a issue of tv or mediaplayer but minidlna. Does anybody have this issue?

                                The path of the movies is corretly setup in minidlna.conf.

Thanks

@David

Yes it was a clean boot with miniDLNA started by the line "/usb/sda1/
minidlna/minidlna -f /usb/sda1/minidlna/minidlna.conf -d" in the samba
init script. And after I killed miniDLNA and started it again
manually, it's started by start.sh which has the line "/usb/sda1/
minidlna/minidlna -f minidlna.conf -d". So the commands to start it
are slightly different but I don't know if that's relevant.

Here are print screens of when I do ps:
When started by line in samba: http://i51.tinypic.com/334k6x0.jpg
When started manually: http://i55.tinypic.com/15f1vfq.jpg

I see now that some text fell off my print screens, but I think it's
clear what it's saying. I have no idea what all of it means though.

[diagdave]

Running with -d? Are you sure? As this forces it to run in the
foreground. I can't test it as I have bricked my nas while working on
a package manager. So maybe a even longer delay for any work.
ANGEL if you add you minidlna.conference to pastebin ill take a look.

David

[Chem]

Yes like I said before, if I don't run it with -d the inotify doesn't
work. With -d new files added to the shared folders immediately show
up on my TV, I don't have to rebuild the database.
Too bad you've bricked your NAS, I suppose you've tried the method to
revive it by pushing the reset button and then plugging in the power
and keeping the reset button pressed for about a minute right?

David,

The patches are at souceforge page:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?group_id=243163&atid=1121518

I've checked the source and it's seems PS3 is supported on miniDLNA.
Although, depending on the client UA (user-agent), miniDLNA uses
different MIME types. I could not setup my compilation environment to
work and analyzing log file, I would like to be able to compile it and
test some changes or patches too. But I'm still stuck with compilers
parameters.

David,
Could you please help with this?
I'll give it a try later.

With many thanks and best regards,

[diagdave]

Bruno: If its easier i can upload all the dependancy libs and my make
file. Add me in google if you want and ill talk you through it.

Chem: Yea tried that and also tried a serial connection via a
development board, although not sure if that is working so trying to
get hold of a phone usb data cable like the guide. ,
https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/8740 looks like the same issue you are
having. A modified version of minidlna.2.init might work for you.

Hi David

             This is the link to pastebin:  http://pastebin.com/hzM5zEX6

          The issue was that i just can see one folder and a file inside that folder, but the other folders, at the same path that this one, are missing. I think is not a problem from TV, so mediaplayer doesn´t found them too.


Thanks

Angel have you tried a full rescan by running minidlna -d -f

Its offical my NAS is dead. I will have to buy a replacement. If any

They must be running a modified version of minidlna our art size is

notice you cache/db folder is still set /var/cache/minidlna I had
issues and had to set this to an external drive, might wana try that

Hello David,

Thanks for the compile, I found minidlna far better than mediatomb.

I saw that minidlna just committed to add thumbnail support on
folders, since it is a features that I find really useful I would like
to know if you could compile minidlna again for snake os 1.3 with this
added support?

Thanks again

Getting stuck on /usb/MovieDisk/Peliculas/Ci Fi?

Any chance you could move all folders out and try one at a time?
Or move just that one out?
Or add those ones directly to your config?

Hello David,

I tried your new compile version and it worked like the last one but I
couldn't quite find how to make folders appear as pictures. Maybe the
PS3 doesn't support pic on folder.

Anyway, when I first tested miniDLNA it was with a USB key containing
only some video and it worked perfectly I could see the folder that I
want and put a picture on movie thumbs. While testing your new compile
version I’ve connected my 2T disk to try my whole library.
My NAS crashed like 20 min after starting miniDLNA while slowly
scanning the disk. Everything else seems to work but it's like the NAS
or miniDLNA can't handle so many files. (By the way I can see all my
library with mediatomb but I don’t like the way you navigate between
folders)

Do others have the same problem with a library over 500gb of video?

[diagdave]

Where is your database stored in minidlna.conference?

[diagdave]

Sorry minidlna.conf

[Kevin]

In minidlna.conf

db_dir=/usb/CleUSB/minidlna/cache

CleUSB is my sda1 on snake os (usb key)

And my librairy is on sdb1 (2T seagate disk)

[diagdave]

I assume plenty of free space on cleusb? The only time I have had a
crash is when I ran out of space. You could.run the logging command I
sent angle and see what happens just before it crashes. Although might
want to log to an external drive rather than /tmp

[Kevin]

There is 1.4 GB left on CleUSB is that enough? 

I started miniDLNA with the command you asked angel, miniDLNA started for like 5 min scanning directory and file that was slowly appearing on my PS3 than it crashed again, media server was no more accessible with PS3 nor can I connect to my NAS with a browser or go to it in My Network. Only way to restart was unplug and plug again the NAS. 

Here is the log.

Hi Dave,

I've try again with my video librairy only and my NAS haven't crashe but miniDLNA stoped scaning my files half the way. I could see half of my file on my PS3 but the rest never came to the screen. I don't know what to try next it seems like miniDLNA just stop scaning...

Another issue that I have is that when I start mediatomb or miniDLNA and let them run for some time, when I try to copy a file to the same disk used by mediatomb or miniDLNA by a fileshare it says that the disk is write protected even tough I set up my share to be write/read and that I can write on it when mediatom or miniDLNA is not running. It not really related to miniDLNA but if you have an idea what may cause that please tell me.

Thanks alot

Hi all bad news, I decided not to get another nas box but rather a
belkin play Max router and run dd-wrt with minidlna. I will no longer
be able to support or develop this further
