Thank you DHGE, I'm a little confused now...

so based on your stockoverflow forum, should I set <inotify=yes> and all will be good?

Thanks

Glen

Edit 1: I tested the notify_interval=895 several times (with each change of the variable, I stopped and (re)started miniDLNA <sudo /etc/init.d/minidlna stop/start>)
whenever the number was 60 = no TV
whenever the number was 895 = TV

[SOLVED]

Thank you all for your help - especially Geaves

the solution I found is....

open>Shellinabox
pico /etc/minidlna.conf
[change] <notify_interval=60> to <notify_interval=895>

In searching around ubuntu and miniDLNA - aparently 895 is default.
my OMV default was 60

My TV found the server = very happy

Thank you all for your help!

disabling Docker made no difference

my config file.

Re-read skybird1980 msg above re: 172.17.0.1 + post above "my network starts at 192.168.1.1 (not 172.17.0.1)"

went to Docker and docker still enabled.
Settings Inside docker, referenced 172.17.0.1.

I've disabled Docker....I'll report back when the kids stop watching TV

192.168.1.4:8200 gives a report on MiniDLNA status

Oh, and thanks for your effort Geaves! I really appreciate the help

I've also found this site
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA

can I assume ubuntu has the exact same configuration structure as OMV (seeing as linux)?

Any advice on appropriate config actions would be hugely appreciated

Glen

Thanks Geaves.
Yes, on my other devices I can see the 'swirl' logo for OMV.

I have also installed shellinabox - and your instructions worked a treat...

DHGE, would you mind providing some instruction on how you " stopped the DLNA server, deleted the database and restarted. This also takes much time but is worth a try."
Deleted the database?

thanks

glen

for a complete nooby; could someone please help with step-by-step instructions on how to

https://notsofastgrasshopper.b…-between-smarttv-and.html
"Point the config file (/etc/minidlna.conf) to the NAS drive and bam! it has catalogued all my music in seconds! There is no UI or web access to this utility. It has a log file to tell you what has been done, so the best way to experience it is to see your music appears on the TV."

Thanks

Glen

Thank you All for your effort and answer.
I now feel like I'm not alone with this issue (not just the user, me )

as a beginner to Linux (especially command line); I think this is going to take a while to fix.

I will try as per DHGE with resetting databases etc, thanks
I will also try as per Geaves - I've opened the youtubes and about to watch
Skybird1980, I'm not sure about Docker (only because I don't know how it works - I need to research). I will delve in to take a look. thanks.

Geaves; from your link, this articulates the problem "it does not act as a DLNA server. In other words, it is not self-discoverable on the client side"

Thank you all for the direction.

I will report back

Any other suggestions gladly actioned.

Cheers

Glen

maybe related to my thread here
All LAN devices discover N54L OMV, except Smart (DLNA enabled) TV

bahahah (thanks for sticking the neck out yes, miniDLNA plugin installed.

Specs on my blu-ray player are DLNA and the blu-ray player can see and stream videos from OMV server.
With this as evidence, I assume the miniDLNA is working fine

I welcome any suggestion, no matter how beginner level the suggestion is.

I'm completely stumped!

Hi All,

I’m new to this forum, OMV, and Linux in general.

User experience:

• Microsoft and Windows – Advanced
• Networking, LAN, WLAN, WAN, VPN setups – intermediate to Advanced
• Linux – beginner (I often use my Ubuntu Live USB to get me out of trouble with windows HDDs etc)
• OMV - beginner

Situation:

• I’m replacing my old RAID 0 Medion Server (Linux based), with an N54L that has been sitting in my cupboard for the last 3years (needs an OS installed).

Key issue:

• The same TV discovered WHS 2011 OS straight out of the box (but not OMV OS)
• I've installed OMV successfully and have RAID10 with file structure discoverable on wireless laptops and various other devices - except my primary TV
• All my LAN devices discover the new N54L with OMV, except my new Hisense 55n6 Smart (DLNA enabled) TV.

What I’ve done to try resolve the issue:

• Installed Plex on OMV, and it worked on the Hisense TV, but don’t want to use plex (I will go back to WHS 2011 before plex – just another account and password)
• Played with all manner of settings in the router, used a mix of 2.4 and 5Ghz, ACL, DMZ, open ports, etc

What I’m thinking:

• Something to do with ports? 8200? 9001? (ports not changeable on Smart TV)
• Something to do with Upnp? SAMBA? DLNA combability? (my in-depth knowledge of these protocols is limited)
• Guest accounts in permissions? (Router's Guest account function turned off. with Guest function 'on', TV can't see any devices)

I want to migrate to OMV but now I am finally stumped! – I don’t really want to go back to WHS 2011 - but this is my last-ditch effort to use OMV.

Does anyone have suggestions before I go back to WHS 2011?

I’ve attached a graphic of my system to this post

Thanks in advance

Glen
