Hello joeschmuck,
thanks a lot for writing this guide!
I was trying to stream my data with PLEX in my home-nework, which was working- but miniDLNA is the way I want to access my data. Just simple and clever, and not lock out for some files.
I really happy with this guide.
But I was getting an error, when I want to install minidlna in the jail. First of all, with FreeNAS 9.10 in the jail itself a file called "FreeNAS-10.3-Stable" or something like that was downloading. Not sure if this is important, but I was not able to install minidlna with pkg
Error:
Code:
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/meta.txz: No such file or directory
pkg: repository local has no meta file, using default settings
pkg: file:///usr/ports/packages/digests.txz: No such file or directory
pkg: Unable to update repository local
All repositories are up-to-date.
So I just looked into this thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/freenas/comments/2s5q7f/help_pkg_install_nano/
Maybe this is helping someone.
I need to install gettext first, then everything works fine, like you have documented it.
Code:
pkg install gettext
Hit a few times YES than and voila ;)
But I have another question: Is it possible to add more than one folder, just like one share from FreeNAS "Movies" and "TV Shows"? I think its simple, maybe adding another directory in the conf?
Another question is, is it possible to acess the mediaserver with a password? When I access the built-in DLNA client from my router, I have to put in a username and password.
Thanks a lot.
