[SOLVED] MiniDLNA 0.5 plugin (BETA)

Forgive me, as I'm a noob with OMV. How do I get the 0.5 MiniDLNA plugin? Should it just populate in my plugin list when I click Check? If that is the case, does that mean that I need to wait for my machine to catch up and add it to the list?
Thanks!
Ted

Hey Ted!

Noob? Everyone is a noob...

You've to add a Plugin called "OMV-Extras" first. See: http://forums.openmediavault.o…ic.php?f=13&t=2524#p16250
After that click "Check" at plugins and you're good to go...

I thought that I had done that back when I upgraded to OMV 0.5, but I'm not 100% on that. Now when I either try to download the OMV-Extras plugin or do it thru a Putty session, I am getting 404 errors.

No worries, it's installing now. However, it has been sitting on "Setting up libid3tag0 (0.15.1b-10) ..." for a while. I am guessing that this is based on the number of titles that I have in my library?

Nope, it's been sitting at the same spot for a few hours now. I've been a little afraid to exit out and try again.

That appears to be the case. I refreshed the page and it is installed.
However, after setting it up, I can not see it from my new LG tv, nor from my old Sony. With the older version (I was running 0.2 up until recently), the Sony could see the MiniDNLA on OMV, it just couldn't play any content. I am guessing that is because it doesn't transcode like Serviio does. The LG was just picked up two weeks ago, which was after I upgraded the OMV box to 0.5, but I figured that it should work with this.

Oh, and I did click the green button.

With DLNA servers they need to have a proper profile, or a generic profile, that will work with your TV. If there is a profile on a different version of MiniDLNA that works for any of your TVs you can probably copy that profile over to any version of MiniDLNA.

Ryeco, did you package the latest version of ReadyMedia???

I think if you did it would help on the profiles for a lot for newer TVs. WD TV Live's work great but for people trying to use just their tvs they need a good profile.

Ok, so, where do we get the profiles and where in OMV do we put them?

The profiles are contained in a file installed with MiniDLNA. The original developer of MiniDLNA is no long working on the project. Someone else is continuing it and calls it ReadMedia.

If you want to understand DLNA profiles better you can read some of these topics on the Plex forum.

Hey guys!
I've been having issues with minidlna in that it doesn't seem to start.
I'll set everything up, save the settings then apply it through the yellow bar that comes up, but then I won't see minidlna anywhere in the process list. When I then go back to the settings page, none of the settings have been saved and the enabled box is off.

run this command and tell me if it says it's installed:

dpkg -s minidlna

if it is not do this and then try in omv web-gui:

apt-get install minidlna
