Hey guys, long time, no chat.
I've just upgraded my 8.0.3 install to 9.1.1, and let me just say, that was awesome. Since I hate optical media with a passion that burns like a thousand stars, I elected to install from the ISO directly to the thumb drive, and then put the thumb drive in the NAS box. Worked without a hitch. I will do that in the future.
However, I'm playing with plugins. Specifically MiniDLNA. I was very frustrated last night because whatever I did, I could not get videos to show up. I could get pictures working properly, but not videos. I was going to test some more tonight, and then post my configs here, however one of the things that I did had MiniDLNA working using the configuration file I created in the FreeNAS interface.
So now where I stand is I can get MiniDLNA working if I go in to the jail and use the command,
I forget where in my Internet search I found that as a recommendation, but I found it, I ran it, and everything works like a charm. I verified that configuration file, and it is the one that FreeNAS is writing to.
If I try to start the service via the FreeNAS Plugins GUI, it starts, but will never ever present videos. So here is my configuration.
Friendly Name: NetworkMedia
Media Directory: /media/
Port: 8200
Discover Interval: 895
Strict DLNA: Unchecked
Model Number: 1
Serial Number: 12345678
Rescan Restart: Checked
Aux Parameters: media_dir=V,/media/videos
Config according to cat /usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/etc/minidlna.conf
media_dir=/media/
port=8200
inotify=yes
enable_tivo=no
strict_dlna=no
notify_interval=895
friendly_name=NetworkMedia
model_number=1
serial=12345678
media_dir=V,/media/videos
I have verified that this is the configuration file that the FreeNAS GUI is modifying. I used the friendly_name field to test this. So started in FreeNAS, this configuration presents me with nothing (thought if I had the pictures directory specified, I would see the pictures), started in the jail, this configuration works fine (and would also show me pictures if it were configured to do so).
I'm not getting any errors on the FreeNAS side. I'm not getting any errors in the jail side. It's running, it's just borked. Thoughts and opinions?
