miniDLNA not showing contents

[Skyfox]

Using FreeNAS 9.1 - FreeNAS-9.1.0-RELEASE-x64 (dff7d13)

I have set up miniDLNA and it is viewable on devices on the network however no videos are found.

I set up a STORAGE in the jail that pointed the source from my MEDIA folder to the MEDIA folder in the jail.

However still nothing is displayed. Any idea what I could be doing wrong?

I created another storage and then attempted to delete the storage in the 'View Jail' options and it seems to throw up an error. So I now I have two storage options and I seem to be unable to delete any.

Help would be greatly appreciated!

Were you using the storage tab to try to create and delete the storage? If so, do you still get errors if you use the Storage folder in the tree menu for the jail?

I couldn't see a way to delete the storage via the tree menu, only seemed to be an option to create.

In the end, I downloaded the plugin via the FreeNAS website. I attempted to create my own Jail then selected 'upload' to install the pbi. It still seemed to create it's own template though.

The miniDLNA plugin works perfectly now. Created a storage for it (in the same way i did in the automatically installed version) and it finds all the files first time.

I'm reluctant to start deleting storage now seeing as I have it working ok :D

Cheers!

I have just about got all this working - except that I need to chmod -R 777 /media to get MiniDLNA to index. If I chmod -R 774 and restart, no files are presented to the client. So: what should I set the owner to so that I can avoid write access for everyone?

Cheers!

My media is all under one group, and my dataset with perms rwx on group 'home'. Mine was not showing any media found at all, and minidlna log showed;

scanner.c:766: warn: Scanning /media/Video finished (0 files)!

So I saw that the jail had my user and groups within it, so I;

jls
jexec X /bin/csh
pw groupmod home -m dlna


Then I had to stop the jail and start it and it came up and I could see all the files in /media with the right permissions within the jail. Scan worked.

It's ususally permissions that cause the scanning issues with MiniDLNA..
