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

boilerjt:

I'm back after a few moths (my daughter was born, but it's offtopic now ). I'd like to give vlc and mediatomb an other chance to decode aac streams. I see there is a new build of mediatomb and I've found a new optware vlc 0.9.9a-1. I downloaded it, but it has the same old issue that it can't be run as root. Your last build of vlc 0.9.5 (that can be run as root) has the issue that I can't stop it. Simply it freezes (killall vlc or CTRL-C have no effect, vlc stays in the process list), I have to restart dns-323. Do you have a newer build of vlc?

hi
i have the new version up and running. But if i start the webgui interface there is nothing under the filesystem. I have done this with the old version and there was the whole tree of my VOLUME_1 under filesystem. What have i todo that this works?
thx for helping

boilerjt,

Can you please, please give us a detailed guide of how you compiled this for the DNS?


Thank You!

as you can read in page 6 of this thread:
1) Copy the tar.gz file to the Volume_1 directory.  You can do this using the Windows explorer.
2) Telnet (or ssh) into the DNS-323 (this requires a fun plug install)
3) cd /mnt/HD_a2
4) tar -xzf mediatomb-0.12.0-SVN2017-static-dns323.tar.gz
5) cd mediatomb12
6) ./mediatomb.sh

Hello,
im new to this forum. Just changed to this svn mediatomb cause 9k of musicfiles make the dns 323 unusable for several days while rescanning.

An autoscan event can be set in config.xml too, but jin told me that the ui event must be deleted before. I run in an ugly locking situation with this. I dont know a proper way to rescan by cron, i see a danger if scans are overleap than normally is checked by MT.

Hi all!

I just would like to as if is there any progress serving iso files from DNS-323 via mediatomb?
The mkv files can played on my WD TV Live well, but the dvd iso file support is still missing as I see.

Another question: is there a way to index the .ac3 files as well? Many of my HD movies has attached additional audio files with this extension. I know in upnp the audio and video streams are separated, but is there a way to serve these additional audio streams with the videos?

Many thanks!

Hi Guys!

First of all I'd like to thank Boilerjt for providing us with mediatomb 0.12 - it works like a charm on my device!
But compared to my ubuntu pc running mediatomb 0.11 there is one little thing missing.

When I browse my movies trough ps3, I can't see file attributes like length or resolution.
I guess this has something to do with mediatomb not "understanding" the content it is streaming because of some sort of missing codec on the NAS.
(the PS3 allways displays two lines of information for each movie in the overview where line 1 shows the title and line 2 only shows "- -" because of those missing infos, otherwise I wouldn't mind..)

So does anyone know a way to get this to work?


thanks from germany

You may simply use:
> killall mediatomb

or you create an ffp start script like mentioned a few pages earlier.
Then you could start/stop mediatomb with something like:
> /ffp/start/mediatomb12.sh start
> /ffp/start/mediatomb12.sh stop

Did anyone tried stream shoutcast radio using Media Tomb to wdtv live. I tried but I am unable to do it. If anyone had success kindly post how did you do it.

Thanks.

Did anyone ever manage to compile ogg123 on their dns-323?

What it does appear to be able to do is down sample flac to lpcm at a bitrate a dumb as crippled dlna device might be able to handle.
I may just have to by a device I can hook to my receiver that will transmit real sound rather than am radio noise.

thanks,
rf.

Could someone help to create a profile for a Sony Blu-Ray Player model S370, US version ?

By the way, how can I uninstall mediatomb from my DNS-323?


Best regards!

With setting the autoscan event in the config.xml, were you able to specify a time? The only way I've found to do it so far is to add the below code, which just replicates the autoscan set by the UI

    <autoscan use-inotify="auto">
        <directory location="/media" mode="timed" interval="3600"
                level="full" recursive="yes" hidden-files="no"/>
    </autoscan>

On that note, autoscan is failing for me - I have a folder which contains a folder with 6 files (...\torrents\top gear\).
I decode all of them from .mkv to .ts (so ps3 will read em), so have 12 files in there.
Auto scan is set to run every 3600 (for testing I made it run every 60 seconds) seconds on the 'torrent' folder (Recursive and Basic), but only finds 1 or 2 new files.

Any one had the same issue? It just isn't finding all the files =/

Hi. MediaTomb is working brilliantly to manage my video (especially the feature to "*" which files have been played).

Anyone else getting every single file marked with a * from the get go? Kinda makes the 'played' feature pointless...

I was trying to get Mediatomb to work on my dns-323. Therefore I installed the 0.12.0, I found the browsing worked on my Samsung, but I could not play anything. Then I uninstalled Mediatomb 0.12.0 and tried the 0.11.0 from fonz funplug with the same result, then I found a post that Samsung TVs need an additional entry and then everything worked fine. Then I wanted to change back to 0.12.0 and reinstalled the 0.12.0, but when I start mediatomb.sh from the mediatomb12 dir, the program tells me that the 0.11.0 is started. Could anybody help me on this? I am sure that at the first installation 0.12.0 was started correctly.

Edit:

First Problem solved, the wrong config.xml was used and the old mediatomb from ffp was used.

Now I have another Problem. When I added media to mediatomb, it works properly, all items are in the database and my Samsung TV plays them. But when I close mediatomb or restart my dns-323, the mediatomb.db is recreated and no data is available until I add something. Is that normal or do I have to close it in a certain way? Is there a "shutdown" script that could close mediatomb?

Edit:

Problem also solved, I activated the Backup function for the library, I don't think that was necesarry, but after that it worked well.

For the other users which have issues with the speed of building the database, I disabled the virtual layout with <virtual-layout type="disabled">, the scan for files is much faster and I prefer the directory view anyway.
