better compile the apps you need yourself. optware wastes a lot of memory cause of its on libc.
besides this, the error you are getting is because inotify is only enabled on recent fw revisions. upgrade or if it's possible disable inotify. sendfile should work i think.

You mean compile directly on the DNS-323 ?

Thanks,

Pete

I have unpacked your compiled minidlna and libraries - but still missing jpeg lib:

/mnt/HD_a2 # ffp/start/minidlna.sh start
Starting /ffp/sbin/minidlna -f /ffp/etc/minidlna.conf
/ffp/sbin/minidlna: can't load library 'libjpeg.so.62'

where can this library be downloaded?

Great job - have heard that Minidlna is a great piece of software.

FYI, I've managed to (manually) build the dependencies of minidlna and minidla itself on my DNS-323.  So far its looking good :-)

I say manually because I've not attempted to make this reproducible - I've simply written some little shell scripts which builds each component and creates a funpkg file.

I've copied what I have here http://www.plord.co.uk/funplug/0.5/ but it needs work ....

Hi plord,

could you please describe me how you did that?

I tried it myself, but none of my builds runs in normal (daemon) mode on my DNS-323.

The log only says:

[2010/02/18 14:17:36] minidlna.c:709: warn: Starting MiniDLNA version 1.0.17 [SQLite 3.6.20].

and ps shows me, that minidlna is running, but nothing is happening.
Running it with the -d parameter works fine.
Your version from http://www.plord.co.uk/funplug/0.5/ runs fine with and without -d.

Did you build all the dependencies yourself, or did you use some precompiled packages and if so, which one did you use?

I would really appreciate some help, because I'm trying to add a workaround for inotify, which is not working on DNS-323. But without being able to build it, it's  pretty useless.

Great, glad you found it (sorry for the late reply).

Getting inotify to work is also on my to-do list ... I would be very interested in any progress you make!

Pete

Great!  Many thanks for digging this up.

I've rebuilt my package with this addition - I added the mknod/chmod into the startup script (instead of using a binary to do that - I couldn't find the source).

A quick test adding one file and then removing it worked great :-)

Guys, I would like to ask you for help.

As original AV uPnP AV media server did not show any video on my TV P42G20E, I installed ffp as described here http://dns323.kood.org/howto:ffp

and Twokny 5.1 as described here http://dns323.kood.org/howto:twonkyupnpserver

But I am not satisfied with Twonky (in FOLDER view I need to have sorted the files according the name, not randomly ) and would like to try minidlna.

I am familiar with LINUX at very low level, i.e. I was able to follow the instructions above and on a FRESH DNS323 install telnet and Twonky, but I do not know how to uninstall or disable it now so that I could install minidlna.

And one more thing, When accessing by telnet, after login, dns323 stops replying, as seen on attached picture.


Any help would be much appreciated.


Best Regards

Hi,

I new in this forum, but i'd like to give an answer : on plord link  "http://www.plord.co.uk/funplug/0.5/" the package libexif is ready to install.
Others packages are ready and had to be installed to start minidlna.

With my DNS-323+Fun-Plug 0.5, MiniDLNA is fully functionnal : MP3 / JPG / MPG on my Sony TV but i noticed some error messages in minidlna.log :
- "inotify.c:189: warn: WARNING: Could not read inotify max_user_watches!  Hopefully it is enough to cover 655 current directories plus any new ones added."
- "sql.c:85: error: prepare failed: near "s": syntax error"

Any ideas ?

Christophe

update:

minidlna is working fine, it seems that minidlna can only recognise ext2 file system, and the main hdd is formated with jbod.

I have managed to get round this by adding a symbolic link to the hdd photo 'share' in the ffp folder and hey presto it works!

BUT, I have done the same with the video folder and I can now see the video folder structure, but cannot get to see any vids.  I have a variety of content on there including some mpeg2 stuff, but the TV is just reporting the folder as empty......... although a computer shows the content, from the shared library.

Still stumped, TV is a brand new Sony Bravia KDL-32ex403, which I have already flashed to the latest firmware.

Any ideas?

ok found your build script!

(thank you plord)

cant use it though get error, MyMain not recognised.......

so doing stages from script bit by bit on an extracted source copied to ffp/minidlna folder

make runs ok, just the next bit that doesnt,

getting there, any help still appreciated!!!!!!!

cheers

Jonny

I've not touched this build for a while ... did you install libexif-0.6.19-1.tgz ?

I just built the latest cvs - see http://plord.co.uk/funplug/0.5/minidlna … 0926-2.tgz

Its still indexing, but seems to work.

Thanks a lot plord, indeed it looks good.
