Minidlna not seeing any files after latest patch

Software SW help
1

Hi all, the latest patch once again wrecked my config. My Omnia stopped properly mounting my NTFS disk via my initscript Fixed that, but I still have a persistent issue with MiniDLNA not being able to see any of the files on the mounted disk.

I have checked the file permissions on the NAS, they are all set to 777.
tried rebuilding the DB file via minidlna -R
minidlna log is full of “upnphttp.c:1052: warn: HTTP Connection closed unexpectedly” which I think is just my LG TV trying to grab all the data. No other relevant info there.

Posting the config if you could please check it for anything I might have overlooked:

config minidlna ‘config’
option enabled ‘1’
option interface ‘br-lan’
option friendly_name ‘OpenWrt DLNA Server’
option db_dir ‘/var/run/minidlna’
option log_dir ‘/var/log’
option inotify ‘1’
option serial ‘12345678’
option model_number ‘1’
option album_art_names ‘Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg’
option notify_interval ‘300’
option port ‘8200’
option root_container ‘.’
list media_dir ‘/mnt/nas/Media’

Any help would be appreciated!

looks like mine - i have my db_dir on my ext hd though

option db_dir '/mnt/sda1/minidlna'

i also have my media dirs with the media type like

list media_dir 'V,/mnt/sda1/video'

but i don’t think that would make much difference. have you tried just restarting the minidlna service?

Yup, tried restarting both the service and the router itself

So I manually deleted the DB file and forced it to recreate one (first by stopping the service, then minidlna -R) and it seems to be working now. Which is slightly weird, as I tried the same thing yesterday and it didn’t make a difference.

Why you do this to me :angry:

I had another issue, my minidlna service was disabled by last update. At least I think it was caused by last update, because I didn’t changed anything.

try to change how miniDLNA treat the content (i have option root_container 'B' for “Browsing” and having no issues"
Also another stuff is if the ext drive is ntfs or/and you have incorrect access rights/owner(group).

Ad_update: there were several services disabled by latest update, you have to check your config and re-enable it.
