azatoth / minidlna Goto Github PK

Have been using minidlna for years on a raspi 3 and now rpi4 w/o any issues.
It works well on access from remote unix or win pc.

However, once I want to stream from a Panasonic TV, it doesn't find any dlna server in my intranet.
What makes the matter even more obscure, a restart of the minidlna server solves the problem and all streams as expected.

Do I switch off/on the TV, I need to restart the minidlna service again.

It worked for years with this Panasonic TV.
A reinstallation of the minidlna package didnt changed anything.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Thanks
V.

I have a directory with 2377 mp3 files, but minidlna will only index 799 of them. There are no errors in the log for specific files (log level warn). There is this SQL error but I am not sure if it is related, since it is shown after scanning has finished:

sql.c:117: warn: sql_get_int_field: step failed: SQL logic error or missing database
SELECT (select count(distinct DETAIL_ID) from OBJECTS o left join DETAILS d on (o.DETAIL_ID = d.ID) where (OBJECT_ID glob '*$*') and (o.CLASS like "item.audioItem%" and REF_ID is NULL)) + (select count(*) from OBJECTS o left join DETAILS d on (o.DETAIL_ID = d.ID) where (OBJECT_ID = '*') and (o.CLASS like "item.audioItem%" and REF_ID is NULL))

All files and directories are readable by the minidlna user.
The problem occures in 1.1.5 and 1.2.1.

Any idea how to find out why these files are ignored (and how to fix it)?

I have a firewall on a debian machine preventing internet traffic through anything other than the TUN I have set up through openpvp, EXCLUDING local network traffic, so I can still SSH the box and theoretically should be able to access MiniDLNA:

#Allow loopback device (internal communication)
iptables -A INPUT -i lo -j ACCEPT
iptables -A OUTPUT -o lo -j ACCEPT

#Allow all local traffic.

#Allow traffic to PIA DNS

iptables -A OUTPUT -d 209.222.18.222 -j ACCEPT

#Accept all TUN connections (tun = VPN tunnel)
iptables -A OUTPUT -o tun+ -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -i tun+ -j ACCEPT

#Set default policies to drop all communication unless specifically allowed
iptables -P INPUT DROP
iptables -P OUTPUT DROP
iptables -P FORWARD DROP

That script works great, I fire it on the servers bootup via /etc/rc.local (it's a debian system). But when I run DLNA that's in the sources.list, I can't connect to the server from other devices. Upon inspection of the logfile, I see something that I can readily make sense of.

[2014/10/18 19:53:29] minissdp.c:335: error: sendto(udp_notify=7, 192.168.1.2): Operation not permitted

I tried compiling but can't get things to work with the init script for some reason. Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions?

After upgrade to DSM 7.0-41890 version the miniDLNA package failed to start, not gets installed. I hope many people would be needing this package back in working condition and hence request Mr. Justin Maggard to look at fixing this

Hi,

was the -u option omitted intentionally?

Hi,

My minidlna.conf have a few media_dir options something like this

media_dir=V,/opt/Torrents
media_dir=V,/home/anton/Downloads

But i want exclude few folders from /home/anton/Downloads and I suggest add exclude_folder options to config file. Full path, or mask, or regexp - not important..

exclude_folder=/home/anton/Downloads/TempVideo
or
exclude_folder=/home/anton/Downloads/temp*

I appreciate the "just the facts" approach of the web UI, but think it would benefit from an HTML / CSS update. I have another issue posting regarding the UI providing file names in files.db. Should that be implemented, an HTML / CSS update could keep a page having additional content more manageable.

I have seen a couple of other projects that do this or add restart, rescan functionality to the UI. I'm wondering if at least some of this could / should be native to the MiniDLNA app. If not, I'm happy to contribute to those projects or perhaps attempt a new direction.

Thanks!

It user=nobody set in the config files, minidlnad fails to start.
To fix, as far as I can tell, the directories / files:
/var/run/minidlnad.pid
/var/log/minidlna
/var/log/minidlna/*
/var/cache/minidlna
/var/cache/minidlna/*
all need ownership nobody:root & group read (or read+execute for directories)

I found bug in SQL statement in method check_for_captions in metadata.c file. If subtitle filename is for example:
How.I.Met.Your.Mother.S07E07.HDTV.XviD-LOL.[VTV].avi
There won't be any result in database, because glob function which is use in sql statment will interpret [VTV] as range pattern and glob function in sqlite hasn't escape character.

The README suggest to look into INSTALL for instructions; unfortunately there is none.

However - configure always fails for me with
configure: error: Could not find libavformat - part of ffmpeg

I installed libavformat-dev, I even built it myself, still this error persists. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Hi,
It seems that there exists a potential integer overflow. Please find the following description:

1. n can be an arbitrary large number
   

   minidlna/upnphttp.c

   Line 1042 in eff7761

   n = recv(h->socket, buf, 2048, 0);

2. h->req_buflen is added to n
   

   minidlna/upnphttp.c

   Line 1060 in eff7761

   h->req_buflen += n;

3. Process_upnphttp(...) is called again
   

   minidlna/minidlna.c

   Line 1180 in eff7761

   Process_upnphttp(e);

4. Call to realloc with the large integer can cause a memory allocation with an overflowed size
   

   minidlna/upnphttp.c

   Line 1088 in eff7761

   h->req_buf = (char *)realloc(h->req_buf, n + h->req_buflen);

Would it be possible to update minidlna from the current 1.3.0 to the latest 1.3.3?

Hi there. I have an issue where MiniDLNA reads NFO files that I've created for KODI, but it ignores the episode number, thus it lists all TV-Shows episodes in alphabetical order rather than by episode number.

Is there a way I can force MiniDLNA to also read the episode number and display correctly?

Alternatively, and probably easier, can I force MiniDLNA to ignore NFO files?

Hi, i was try install minidlna on mac, but it's seem not seeing any files from my Videos Folders. So i want to remove to hide it from tv. because it will be installed on debian as media server .

What can i do with this sutiation?

The web ui is great for providing the number of video, audio, and photo files. It would be excellent to see a listing of these files and perhaps metadata, album art, and the like. The file list information would be great for confirming the discovery and usage of specific files.

I think you want to check that WhereIs("msgfmt") in tools/gettext.py doesn't return None and provide a more helpful error if it does.

The readme refers to an INSTALL file which doesn't seem to be included in this repo. That should be added to the repository if it's still around. Alternatively I jotted up my steps for installing prerequisites and then compiling and installing the package which are available for inclusion via a pull request, #10. I had trouble actually starting the server though, so my instructions are missing something, possibly a step listed in the notorious INSTALL file?

Embedded artwork in FLAC files breaks the whole import of the file ("unable to read metadata" or something like it). I guess there are two steps to this:

1. Fix parsing of FLAC metadata so it skips sections it doesn't understand/support. The file should still import correctly but without the cover image
2. Add feature so the code supports embedded artwork in the FLAC metadata.

chdir (executable) access should be sufficient for all directories leading up to the media dir itself.

The problematic line is: https://github.com/azatoth/minidlna/blob/master/minidlna.c#L475

Other invokations of realpath follow this pattern:

				path = realpath(x, y);
				if( !path )
					path = x

… which tackles the issue and we should probably follow here as well?
