mini_DLNA for serving a PS3.....Less hair on my head....Wait, I was already bald.....

[Noob Josh]

Good afternoon all,
Next to no xp with Linux. Trying to set up miniDLNA on FreeNAS 8.2 to serve my media library to a PS3.
I can see the miniDLNA (BatCave_miniDLNA) from my PS3. Can see Videos, Pictures & Music. There are no files, or “There are no titles” as the PS3 likes to spit out at me. All settings were setup with the GUI. Do I need to edit the miniDLNA config file, and how? Where the H*** are the Video, Music, Pictures directories for mini_DLNA? I thought you just pointed at it with the mount point. Do I need to work magic with the Shell? I already had to chmod 777 the mnt/Tank1 to set permissons and allow me to transfer files over the network. Let me know where my wanderings have gone wrong!! Thanks in advance.

Config as follows:

Mount Point

Source
:/mnt/Tank1/MYmedia/ps3

Destination
: /usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/MYmedia

Media Directory
: /mnt/Tank1/jail/software/usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/MYmedia

Minidlna-amd64
Friendly Name: BatCave_miniDLNA

Following protosd's video, I created a file to see if it is via=sable within the jail. I get this when I run jls

[root@freenas ~]# cd /mnt/Tank1/Media
[root@freenas /mnt/Tank1/Media]# ls
TESTfile
[root@freenas /mnt/Tank1/Media]# jls
JID IP Address Hostname Path
3 - software /mnt/Tank1/jail/software
[root@freenas /mnt/Tank1/Media]#


I take it that NOT having an IP show up could be bad?? I need to goo over things again, as the TEST file is not visible within the jail.

This is wrong and a known bug with 8.2 minidlna. Search better next time. It should be:

Code:

/usr/pbi/minidlna-amd64/MYmedia

Or whatever you have the mountpoint set to now.

RTFM, it mentions this specifically. ;)
