I use Rasbian Jessie on a Raspberry 3 Model B V1.2 and I have trouble with MiniDLNA, I want it to use a specific Folder on my external HDD.
Here's my config:
Code: Select all
# This is the configuration file for the MiniDLNA daemon, a DLNA/UPnP-AV media
# server.
#
# Unless otherwise noted, the commented out options show their default value.
#
# On Debian, you can also refer to the minidlna.conf(5) man page for
# documentation about this file.
# Specify the user name or uid to run as.
#user=pi
# Path to the directory you want scanned for media files.
#
# This option can be specified more than once if you want multiple directories
# scanned.
#
# If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can
# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),
# followed by a comma, as so:
# * "A" for audio (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music)
# * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures)
# * "V" for video (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos)
media_dir=/media/pi/FTP/FileCenter/Media
# Path to the directory that should hold the database and album art cache.
#db_dir=/var/cache/minidlna
# Path to the directory that should hold the log file.
#log_dir=/var/log
# Type and minimum level of importance of messages to be logged.
#
# The types are "artwork", "database", "general", "http", "inotify",
# "metadata", "scanner", "ssdp" and "tivo".
#
# The levels are "off", "fatal", "error", "warn", "info" or "debug".
# "off" turns of logging entirely, "fatal" is the highest level of importance
# and "debug" the lowest.
#
# The types are comma-separated, followed by an equal sign ("="), followed by a
# level that applies to the preceding types. This can be repeated, separating
# each of these constructs with a comma.
#
# The default is to log all types of messages at the "warn" level.
#log_level=general,artwork,database,inotify,scanner,metadata,http,ssdp,tivo=warn
# Use a different container as the root of the directory tree presented to
# clients. The possible values are:
# * "." - standard container
# * "B" - "Browse Directory"
# * "M" - "Music"
# * "P" - "Pictures"
# * "V" - "Video"
# If you specify "B" and the client device is audio-only then "Music/Folders"
# will be used as root.
#root_container=.
# Network interface(s) to bind to (e.g. eth0), comma delimited.
# This option can be specified more than once.
#network_interface=eth0
# IPv4 address to listen on (e.g. 192.0.2.1/24).
# If omitted, the mask defaults to 24. The IPs are added to those determined
# from the network_interface option above.
# This option can be specified more than once.
#listening_ip=
# Port number for HTTP traffic (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer).
# This option is mandatory (or it must be specified on the command-line using
# "-p").
port=8200
# URL presented to clients (e.g. http://example.com:80).
#presentation_url=/
# Name that the DLNA server presents to clients.
# Defaults to "hostname: username".
friendly_name=MediaPi
# Serial number the server reports to clients.
# Defaults to 00000000.
serial=681019810597110
# Model name the server reports to clients.
model_name=Raspberry Pi
# Model number the server reports to clients.
# Defaults to the version number of minidlna.
#model_number=
# Automatic discovery of new files in the media_dir directory.
#inotify=yes
# List of file names to look for when searching for album art.
# Names should be delimited with a forward slash ("/").
# This option can be specified more than once.
album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg
album_art_names=AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg
album_art_names=Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg
# Strictly adhere to DLNA standards.
# This allows server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images, which may
# decrease JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA products.
#strict_dlna=no
# Support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO.
#enable_tivo=no
# Notify interval, in seconds.
notify_interval=895
# Path to the MiniSSDPd socket, for MiniSSDPd support.
#minissdpdsocket=/run/minissdpd.sock
where FTP is my Ext-HDD, it doesn't work, it doesn't show/scan the files I put there
I thought when I installed MiniDLNA it will create a user as well and that user will not have access to the path above and here's what I tried so far:
Adding MiniDLNA to group: pi
and then
Code: Select all
sudo usermod -a -G pi minidlna
sudo chgrp -R pi /media/pi/FTP/FileCenter/Media
sudo chmod -R g+w /media/pi/FTP/FileCenter/Media
sudo find /media/pi/FTP/FileCenter/Media -type d -exec chmod 2775 {} \;
sudo find /media/pi/FTP/FileCenter/Media -type f -exec chmod ug+rw {} \;
sudo service minidlna restart
sudo service minidlna force-reload
