SOLVED: minidlna difficulties
Posted: Sun Jan 26, 2020 8:05 pm
Hoping for some direction here please.
I had Amahi 7 with Fedora 24 working well for many years. Could see my pics, music, and video on my recently purchased LG Smart TV. Decided to update my server and installed Fedora 27 server and Amahi 11. I'm not really a linux person (more PC), but things went OK and was able to view my shares, install extra disks, and partition for my media and backups. Installed minidlna and followed the wiki to set up the config file to point to my media.
I can see the media folders and the files on my TV, but cannot access them. Changed permissions to 777 thinking it might be that, no luck. Saw one of the posts suggesting using command line to update, tried that, reinstalled minidlna, and still no luck. I have uninstalled minidlna, refreshed, rebooted and reinstalled. Tried making different shares for media, all to no avail. The minidlna server is running according to both the HDA GUI ans well as when I query with systemctl. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to access the log file; I'm not sure if it exists in the folder specified.
My HDA is set to be the DNS for my PC, but I let the router do DHCP. This was never a problem in the past with Amahi 7 install for me.
Many thanks in advance for any thoughts or directions.
