Hi there,
Minidlna stopped working. I am in 18.2, bécame a donator and everything went well.
But now, ir says server si installed, server is installed (1.2.1#5)
but it says server si not running. I press start server , it says succesfull, but still shows server si not running…
Can you please help me Wish this issue? I restarted the NAS, but i got the same issue.
Thanks
Francisco

Hi

if you try to re-install minidlna (just click again on the Install button), what happens ?

Hi Jocko,
I tried, and the message I got is: Ok: install command successful (1.2.1#5)
However, it still says server is not running
I press start server and it says Ok: start command with rescan successfully
But in status it still says: server is not running
any ideas?
Thanks for your help

Also, just in case it helps, I pressed stop server and i got: Fail: Server was not running, server status adjusted (30)

I pressed start server, and i got the same…
Thanks!

Most if not all of the media servers available for FVDWSL are either inactive or proprietary.
It would be great if FVDWSL instead supported Jellyfin as it is active and open with good playback client support for all major platforms.

Hi galaberta,

So need to investigate.
Open a shell window (ssh access), and enable the debug mode

Code: Select all

debugon

return to minidlna menu and try to start. After getting a not running status, stop the debug mode and post the outputs

Code: Select all

debugoff
ps axf
cat /var/log/messages

Hi Jocko,
Here you are the outcome:

Thanks!

Hi

So nothing wrong on the firmware side, all steps run rightly. It seems minidlna stops immediately after starting. This may happen if minidlna conf file is corrupted or its database.

But it is not an issue on the database because the start command uses the option '-R' which means the data file is missing and we force to rebuild it. I believe the issue is on the conf file.

So an additional checks and new attempts. please to post the outputs

Code: Select all

ldd /usr/local/bin/minidlna       (check if there is no dependency issue)
ls -al /direct-usb/minidlna/database/files.db        (datafile exists ?)

Load minidlna menu and click on "Minidlna Configure". Restore the default settings and select again your media streaming. Save your change. This would repair the conf file.
Then try again to start minidlna and check a bit later if it is still running

Code: Select all

(no need the debug mode)

Hi Jocko,
no success... I press the "default settings" button and it says "Failed: restoring default configuration file failed"
