Well I'm stumped then... I've but 1834 files... it seems to be an issue adding them all at once... but if I don't, I don't get the nice directory structure I want.  Only running mediatomb and the standard daemons.  Maybe I'm just using MediaTomb incorrectly.

As I can see, memory usage is not depended from number of files, and insignificantly depended from number of directories. It is real to make mediatomb working on the very big file libraries.

How did you measure memory usage?  htop says 2.6% used, but top reports 40% of memory used by mediatomb.

Looks like top show total memory usage, and htop show real memory usage. Some part of memory can be swapped. Read manual for htop for help.
And this FAQ: http://htop.sourceforge.net/index.php?page=faq

512MB of swap still max'ing out.

Sorry, did not understand it.

SirMax would you be so kind as to post your config.xml as well, please.

Sorry, I can not for now, because I am on vacation, and left my NAS turned off. I can post it in 2 weeks.

Try to ask at MediaTomb forum. This forum is about DNS-232.

Hello together,

I installed mediatomb-0.12.1-3 on my CH3SNAS following the instructions at the first post of this thread. Everything is working fine and as long as the sqlite database is small, I can access with mediatomb web frontend, Kinskydesktop, XBMC on Windows 7 and with the upnp client of my enigma2 sat box. The strange thing is, when the database gets bigger (my one has more than 100MB), I can just access with mediatomb web frontend and Kinskydesktop. Trying to access with XBMC or emigma2 upnp client causes a sqlite I/O error in mediatomb log and afterwards no client can access anymore. After this happens, I cannot stop/kill mediatomb anymore and have to reboot the CH3SNAS.

Any ideas what the reason for this behavior is?
Would it be possible to post a build that has mySQL support so I can try another database?

hi sirmax,

this was really quick. I will try next weekend an post the results. Thank you!

It's because you installed newest version of MySQL. My package linked with MySQL package from FUN-PLUG 0.5 package collection (http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fun-plug/0.5/packages/), and mysql package have version 5.0.67.

You have two options.
First is more corrent, but more complicated - just install mysql from fun-plug.
Second is ugly hack, but easier, and also may work - try to make symlink to new library. Run in shell:

# ln -sf libmysqlclient_r.so.16 /ffp/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient_r.so.15

What error you have trying second option?

I think, no matter what version of MySQL you wil use on DNS-323. So just install 5.0.67, anyway you will not use new features of new version.

So much time and I still can't run mediatomb. I have to be stubborn if I'm still trying to do it.

I found out that maybe I can't run mediatomb just because inotify doesn't run.
I got result paste below when I tried to check inotify. How can I solve this issue?

root@DNS320 su nobody -c /ffp/share/inotify/inotify-test
inotify_init(): OK
inotify_add_watch(): .failed: /tmp/inotify-test/0 wd=-1 Permission denied

Today I changed over from boilerjt's mediatomb-0.12.0-SVN2017 to sirmax's to make use of inotify.
However I seem to be having an issue with the auto-update.

I have the root of both drives shared and only files added to the root are added.
This seem to be the behavior described below

After restarting MediaTomb, it rescan all directories, but did not add inotify watches. And Inotify working only in root folder. Strange behaviour, and I can see two reasons:
1. Inotify implementation in DNS323 kernel is different from  inotify implementation in current kernel, and cannot catch recurse changes.
2. It is a bug (or feature) in MediaTomb.

So was this ever followed up or is there a workaround to watch all directories recursively?

I am running FW 1.07, if it helps.

Hi.
Has someone tried to track this down further? My DNS-323 box is running 1.10b07, but the "no recursive inotify watch after deamon restart" still remains. Let me know if I can support you with environment information or any kind of logs!
Nevertheless, thank you for your work, sirmax!

Installed this last weekend and really pleased/impressed with the support for a large library. However, compared to miniDLNA, we find it takes a long time for the thumbnails to appear on screen (and this is a must for my three year old!). Any suggestions for speeding up thumbnails? thanks -james

Looks like you have no permissions accessing inotify device.

First of all, check executable flag for startup script /ffp/start/inotify_dev.sh.
If it have no executable flag, set it (chmod a+x /ffp/start/inotify_dev.sh) and reboot.
If this will not help, try to set a+rw permissions for inotify device (chmod a+w /dev/inotify).

I am also on a DNS320, and I get the same error as RobRoy with the above command. Furthermore, I get the following as root:

Code:

root@dlink-4C13E6:/mnt/HD/HD_a2/ffp/home/root# /ffp/share/inotify/inotify-test
inotify_init(): OK
inotify_add_watch(): .failed: /tmp/inotify-test/0 wd=-1 Inappropriate ioctl for device

Any ideas?

You must have something like this:

root@NAS:/# ls -l /ffp/start/inotify_dev.sh /ffp/bin/check-inotify-dev /dev/inotify
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      10,  63 Aug 31 23:06 /dev/inotify
-rwxr-xr-x    1 max      root         3744 Jan 28  2010 /ffp/bin/check-inotify-dev
-rwxr-xr-x    1 max      root          382 Sep  7  2010 /ffp/start/inotify_dev.sh

Also check your kernel version:

root@NAS:/# uname -a
Linux NAS 2.6.12.6-arm1 #47 Mon Nov 30 12:06:02 CST 2009 armv5tejl unknown

It is possoble, DNS320 have another kernel with another inotify implementation.

Sorry, I'd call myself a Linux novice at best. Is it possible to use inotify with this mediatomb configuration? Kernel is obviously different so any idea how to get this working? Thanks!

Read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inotify
"It has been included in the mainline Linux kernel from release 2.6.13 (June 18, 2005),[1] and could be compiled into 2.6.12 and possibly earlier releases by use of a patch."

My build was created specially for kernel 2.6.12 with inotify patch, and it will not work on other kernels, because methods how to work with inotify was changed.


Your kernel must have native inotify support, and you must search mediatomb build with native inotify support. Also you do not need to install inotify-dev package, because it is also work only on 2.6.12 kernel.

Hello together,

I bought an Sony Blueray player and found out, that it cannot connect to mediatomb. is seems that some people developed an patch for this problem:
http://www.2shared.com/file/sbJA_03p/me … ravia.html

I would be very grateful, if one could compile the same package like in post #56 including this patch.

Kind regards

Done.

MediaTomb with Sony Bravia TV patch (http://www.2shared.com/file/sbJA_03p/me … ravia.html) is available:

Depends: curl, bzip2, sqlite.

Hi sirmax,
I could not wait and started testing tonight. This is compiled for sqlite, but I need mysql. Could you please upload a mysql version? I would really appreciate it.
