MINIDLNA - Server not visible to clients

[heavenhated]

Team,

Freenas - FreeNAS-9.1.1-RELEASE-x64 (a752d35)

MinDLNA
Minidlna 1.1.0_1 minidlna-1.1.0_1-amd64
dlna_1


Need your help here. I have tried everything before posting this query.

My set up is such that my NAS is connected to my wireless router/modem and i am trying to access my NAS through devices connected to my wireless router(by wireless as well as lan to the wireless router/modem)

I am able to access all CIFS shares, copy files, move files and even delete files through the wireless using my phone or laptop.

I have installed the MiniDLNA as mentioned above. I have mapped storage and put two music files under the storage.

When i execute 192.168.X.X :8200 i am able to see that the files are scanned and displayed as attcahed.

My biggest problem is none of the DLNA clients are able to display the server.

Checklist of things i have done:-

- Able to ping(the DLNA Jail address) from any of the PC/Tablet/etc connected to the wireless
- Able to view CIFS folders and access files.


I am confused if i should set a port forwarding in my wireless modem router. I know its not a freenas issue but need some experts help to figure out if my router is blocking the DLNA server access.

I can ping the ip of the jail/media server and i can also see the files inside the shell under the mapped folder Media.

Biggest issues is inability to see the server from clients which will resolve my issue. I am a chemical engineer trying to make use of whatever knowledge i have.

Here is the log from MiniDlna

Can someone guide me if my router is the culprit or why the server is not visible as DLNA server to the clients through the wireless?

I am experiencing similar issues. The weird thing is that the Minidlna server will show up sporadically as a dlna device in other clients. It is not clear to me why this happens. Once I am streaming from the server, there is usually no issue, everything works great. It is really the discovery. Interestingly enough, the server does not show up in the upnp-inspector tool.

Here is my minidlna log (looks clean):

Unfortunately netstat does not run but yields the "netstat: no namelist" error, presumably because I am using a recent nightly build.

There were some posts I saw that were about issues with the avahi service not launching correctly in the jail? Can anyone help me out how to make sure all the services necessary for upnp are running correctly?

Thanks!

This is fixed. The issue is not with freenas and with Router. Changed router which had issues with IGMP Proxy settings. Now everything works fine.
