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

Thank you boilerjt - this recommendation and instructions are exactly what I was looking for. I will report back this weekend after trying it out.
Thanks!

I've gotten mediatomb installed - how do I get the other files installed? The instructions mentioned "place them in /ffp/pkg/additional.  Use funpkg -i to install them" - I don't have a /ffp/pkg folder.
Thanks.

You need ffp 0.5 installed to installed the transcoding files.  If you have ffp 0.5, you can create this directory if it is not present.

Okay, I installed the files and have added files to my library. Mp3s are streaming well, not yet have FLAC working (made the changes above in the config file) - will keep investigating.
Is there a way to make Mediatomb autostart when the box boots up?
Thanks for all your help.

This is from a post that expains how to autostart:

Quick update that this version has been absolutely fine for me now so I have managed to modify the scipt from fonz's package to stop and start this version. No expert but the below seems to work fine when run from /ffp/start :-

#!/ffp/bin/sh

# PROVIDE: mediatomb
# REQUIRE: LOGIN

. /ffp/etc/ffp.subr

media_dir="/mnt/HD_a2/Media/Video"
LAUNCHDIR=/mnt/HD_a2/mediatomb12

I made the changes to config.xml for FLAC, but after I add files to mediatomb, when I'm browsing from my PS3 says there are no files in the folder. Is there something else I need to do so mediatomb will recognize the FLAC files?

Here are some other things to check:

1) I am running PS3 2.60 firmware.  I don't think this would matter, but you never know...
2) From the Web UI, choose a flac song and click the edit icon.  The mimetype should be audio/x-flac.
3) From the command line, type flac to make sure the flac binary is found.
4) FYI, here is my entire config.xml for you to compare:

One other annoyance I have found with the PS3.  If I try to access the DNS-323 when the drives are spun down, the PS3 sometimes doesn't have the patience to wait for the drives to spin up.  I then also get the no files in folder.  I hope this info helps.

Shouldn't you have changed this line as commented:

One other annoyance I have found with the PS3.  If I try to access the DNS-323 when the drives are spun down, the PS3 sometimes doesn't have the patience to wait for the drives to spin up.  I then also get the no files in folder.  I hope this info helps.

Shouldn't you have changed this line as commented:

<protocolInfo extend="no"/><!-- For PS3 support change to "yes" -->

With PS3 version 2.60, this setting is not needed anymore.  Also with 2.60, the PS3 recognizes the mimetype video/x-msvideo so the map from avi to video/divx is not needed anymore.

boilerjt - I reformatted, retraced all the steps, and guess what... it works. I've got the FLAC files showing up in the database and streaming nicely. Thanks for all your help getting this bad boy working! I'll try to break it from here.

Nice!   At least all of this is documented and might help others as well.
