minidlna - media

[sdinis87]

Hi,
i'm trying to configure minidlna.
I installed jail and minidlna and both of them are working, i have a mount point "source:/mnt/D_Externo/Media and Destination:/mnt/D_Externo/Jail/Software/media".
But the problem is, when i try to acess from vlc or kinsky minidlna, when i enter in the Library of minidlna i only have 3 folders, Music, Pictures and Video. But the folder "Media" doesn't have this 3 folders, and when i put a file on "media" i can't see it.
Resume: minidlna is working i can acess to the server form any dlna client but i can't scan files.
thanks

Take a look at this thread...

I was able to fix the same issue by changing the absolute path in the minidlna configuration options by changing it to the relative path of the mount point.

So if your mount point/media directory within the jail is /mnt/jail/plugins/mnt/video use /mnt/video in the Media Directory in the configuration options

I think is that what i have...
My volume is "mnt/D_Externo"
i have 3 dataset, "mnt/D_Externo/Jail", "mnt/D_Externo/Media" and "mnt/D_Externo/Software".
my mount point is: "source:/mnt/D_Externo/Media and Destination:/mnt/D_Externo/Jail/Software/media"
And the minidlna configuracion i have "/mnt/D_Externo/Media" in media directory but i still have this problem.

There is a bug in minidlna path selector... use "/media", it should be the path within the jail... and not "/mnt/D_Externo/Media"

Thanks, problem fixed.
I just changed the path selector to "/media" in minidlna and now its working. ;)
