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

Thanks for the reply stealth. I would really like to have the inotify feature working since a db rebuilt on my box takes at least 1/2 hr to complete and I have to have to do this when I add/remove a few files. Can you point me in the right direction please? I have read the couple of threads on this topic but am still alittle lost.

I have a DNS-323 on fw1.08 and I do have the file /dev/inotify in my system. I also noted that there are files called inotify_itune, inotify_upnp and inotifybt in /usr/bin so I'm going to take a wild guess that I do have inotify on my box and it is working for the stock dlink apps. So is the issue with the minidlna binaries? Do I have to rebuild it using a modified inotify.h file as described in this post (http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic. … 775#p34775)?

Please try with minidlan-01-05-2011-cvs20110501-2.tgz

thanks for the quick turnaround but it still isnt' working for me. I'm getting the following errors:

[2011/05/02 17:44:07] inotify.c:652: error: inotify_init() failed!

Try
echo 16384 > /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches

my system doesn't have /inotify in /proc/sys/fs/. I'm trying to pin down if this is a problem with inotify in the kernel or is this a problem with the minidlna build. I downloaded the inotify-dev-0.1-1.tgz app from http://sites.google.com/site/sirmaxwiki/ and within in, in the folder /ffp/share, there is a inotify test app which ran fine on my box. (I've attached the app here if you want to try running on your box) Hence I'm going to have to assume that the problem lies with the minidlna build.

apparently the thread starter (i.e. fboulange) has built a version that has a working inotify (see http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic. … 562#p38562). Unfortunately, it is an older version and although it runs on my box, it doesn't seem to be doing anything and I am alittle embarrased to say that I can't find the log file! (I had to remove log_dir from conf for it to run and I can't the log in /var/log or /ffp/var/log or /tmp or /ffp/tmp!) I think I will drop him a PM to find out more.

I build minidlna myself (from the CVS trunk) and inotify is working for me.

I use a modified sys/inotify.h as well as a modified start script.

You might run into problems if you have very large music collections with lots and lots of (sub-)folders. Then max_user_watches might not be enough on the NAS.

@bfg100k Sorry i forgot this thread
I resolved my problem with inotify, i 'il publish the fun_plug tonight (you must install inotify-dev-0.1-1.tgz from http://sites.google.com/site/sirmaxwiki/)

@KyleK You know the limitation ? The /proc/sys/fs/inotify/max_user_watches is not accessible but maybe the limit is high. Anyway no problem for me with 500 GB of various data

Ok it's online

For ulimit, can you try with ulimit -n 4096 ? If ok i can modify the start script for add ulimit command in my package

It's not the number of files that is relevant, but the number of folders in your media library. (Internally, Linux doesn't differentiate between files and folders, everything is just a 'node').
minidlna adds a 'watch' to every subfolder of your library, so if you have a very hierarchical folder system (e.g. Music/artist name/album title), then it will reach the (artificial) limit of 1024 very fast.

In your case, it apparently isn't necessary to raise the limit, since you only have 218 folders in your library.

Kylek, Could you post the changes you did for inotify functionality... the links above don't seem to work. (Or is it this: http://dns323.kood.org/forum/viewtopic.php?id=6628 post? cheers -j

All I did was first replace the file /ffp/include/sys/inotify.h with the one I linked to above.

The link above is dead, any chance you could post it again? cheers -j

I have almost everything working
Does anyone know if there is a way to have the internal (in MKV for example) subtitles working ?

Nope this won't work with MKV's internal subtitles.
So far grab a SRT subtitles file from the web and put it in the same folder as your video with the exact same name (except the extension of course !).

That must be a Samsung issue though, because my Philips Bluray player recognized internal subtitles just fine (in fact, it only works with internal subs).
