DSM-G600, DNS-3xx and NSA-220 Hack Forum

Hi.
I have the same problem with my two media clients. One Sees all folders twice, and the other can't se any. So I'm listening.
Hopefully someone knows what the problem is, maybe a new firmware would help?

I have been successful to use mediatomb on the dns 313 and even my freecom musicpal which wasn't able to play mp3 files is now working.
Debian has precompiled packages for mediatomb and an ARM architecture, but be prepared for a lot of additional library packages.
I preferred to compile it myself after i successfully built a crosscompile environment.

So if you are willing to invest some time i would recommend to disable the default upnp server and put in your own one.

Hi Naffarin, any chance of you sharing your Mediatomb deb?

Hi Naffarin,

Yesterday I tried to install and test your Mediatomb version (Thanks a lot for it) but, I found a problem in my DNS-313. I run Mediatomb and after it checks the configuration file OK, it stops with a mysterious message of “Killed” in the screen and no additional information.
Have you any idea about what can be happening?  Did you have any similar problem with your installation?

Trasgu.

Sure, no problem, if you want to take the risk

Many thanks Naffarin, I'll give it a try.

Yes it works for me too. Important to read how to start mediatomb. First I started like this:

./mediatomb -f .mediatomb -m /mnt/HD_a2/mediatomb

to create a .mediatomb directory in the mediatomb directory (doesn't have to be there, but I thought it was easist.) Don't know how necessary this was, but it worked for me :-)

Thereafter to start just

./mediatomb -m /mnt/HD_a2/mediatomb

Didn't get a complete configuration file so I had to mess with it. Here's mine. Don't know if all those mappings are necessary, but since file magic doesn't seem to work, inspite of me installing file magic files, thought it would be a good idea:

Works great for music and video on my Nokia N800. Thanks again naffarin!

Hmm, i can't follow you on not being able to fork mediatomb to a background process...that works fine here. Do you get an error message or something like that ?
You are right about the links in /lib vanishing after each reboot which is a "feature" of the dns313 to overwrite the root filesystem. Luckily you can get around that quite easily.

You can use the fun_plug mechanism, just create a file named fun_plug in the directory /mnt/HD_a2

My fun_plug for example looks like this:

# cat fun_plug
#!/bin/sh
#
# Simple fun_plug
#
#dmesg > /mnt/HD_a2/dmesg.out
# relink mediatomb libs 
/mnt/HD_a2/usr/bin/prepare_mt.sh
# start mediatomb
/mnt/HD_a2/usr/bin/mediatomb -c /mnt/HD_a2/usr/etc/config.xml -l /mnt/HD_a2/usr/share/mediatomb.log &

ln -s /bin/busybox /bin/cut

You actually only need these four lines :
# relink mediatomb libs
/mnt/HD_a2/usr/bin/prepare_mt.sh
# start mediatomb
/mnt/HD_a2/usr/bin/mediatomb -c /mnt/HD_a2/usr/etc/config.xml -l /mnt/HD_a2/usr/share/mediatomb.log &

The script that does the linking is named prepare_mt.sh and resides in the above example in /mnt/HD_a2/usr/bin/:

ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libexif.so.12.0.1 /lib/libexif.so.12
ln -sf /lib/libexif.so.12  /lib/libexif.so
ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libid3-3.8.so.3.0.0 /lib/libid3-3.8.so.3
ln -sf /lib/libid3-3.8.so.3 /lib/libid3-3.8.so
ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libmagic.so.1.0.0 /lib/libmagic.so.1
ln -sf /lib/libmagic.so.1 /lib/libmagic.so
#ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libsqlite3.so.0.8.6 /lib/libsqlite3.so.0
#ln -sf /lib/libsqlite3.so.0 /lib/libsqlite3.so
ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libstdc++.so.6.0.3  /lib/libstdc++.so.6
ln -sf /lib/libstdc++.so.6 /lib/libstdc++.so
#ln -sf /mnt/HD_a2/usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3 /lib/libz.so.1
#ln -sf /lib/libz.so.1 /lib/libz.so

Of course you have to change the paths according to your system .

There is another option using an environment variable named LDD_LIBRARY_PATH but the above version works fine, too.

oops,
mediatomb looks fine after installation, but...
when I placed 30 000 of MP3s into it, then DNS-313 is die away.
When tested with few MP3s, then PS3 is reporting DLNA or other timout errors after 5 to 10 mins of playing.
With 30k of MP3s Blue HDD led is changed to green (reporting that my 1TB is almost full) and NAS services (SAMBA) are death too.

I thing that this NAS isn't suitable for large mm library.

i have web radio  TERRATEC noxon

its work fine with my 313
