Hi,

I can see in the forum, many problems with the installation of miniDLNA.
One thing that can be done is to install the server from deb-multimedia.org. This repo is quickly up to date for many debian multimedia packages.

- Add deb-multimedia.org to your list of repositories (see site).

deb http://www.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free
deb ftp://ftp.deb-multimedia.org squeeze main non-free

The first package to install is deb-multimedia-keyring.

- Refresh the repo list

apt-get update

- Install minidlna

apt-get install minidlna

- Install the plugin from OMV-plugins.org, minidlna would not be downloaded from here because it's already installed

Plus, you have now access to all multimedia librairies (ffmpeg, etc...) if you need it on your OMV server.

Hope this help.

Check your minidlna config file, and put the database to /var/lib/minidlna instead of /var/log/minidlna

Does MiniDLNA transcode? I want to stream some MKV files to my PS3 but i need transcoding similar to ps3 media server. Has anyone done this?

On a side not, i would be nice to have a ps3 media server plugin!

Thanks

Unfortunatly, minidlna does not transcode your files.
If your really need transcode, I would recommand you Serviio (works great) which run on a Java VM.

Hi all,

It's been discussed for monthes now.
If some have some skills in PHP, I think that the best way to go is to integrate ExtPlorer src (availaible) into a OMV plugin. Shouldn't be long for a good dev, and really usefull.
The main difficulties are in managing users/files rights I think.

Really a must go for OMV I think...

You can open a request on GitHub (https://github.com/OMV-Plugins).

Cheers,

You can ask Marcel, who manage the repo, by PM...

no -thanks for the hint. I will try that first (on my opensuse-desktop all codecs are available, so there must be the packages somewhere out in the wild

I will try this this weekend.

Have you tried deb-multimedia.org ?

Hi Dave,

As a previous WHS user too, I have switch to Greyhole with a really good success. It does almost the same things as WHS Drive Extender. (see http://www.greyhole.net)

You can check the plugins from omv-plugins.org to install it and give it a try.

Hi,

You can try to add the rootdelay option (in seconds) this in /etc/default/grub

...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rootdelay=15 quiet"
...

then save and run

# update-grub2

Should do the tricks.

Could be useful I think...

Hi,

Welcome on board

Unfortunatly for you, OMV is not designed to share disks from the root level. I think the best way to go for you is your second choice.

Greetings
