Howdy Folks

Been having issues with miniDLNA not updating database over the last few weeks, noticed from its web page http://www.amahi.org/apps/dlna it was updated 6 days ago so i un-installed and re-installed from dashboard, now its will not start.

checking the status i get this error.

[root@localhost /]# systemctl status minidlna.service

Might try uninstalling the app, then verify all files have been removed.

Code: Select all

rpm -ql minidlna

If not remove them before reinstall. Might not be a bad idea to reboot before the install as well just to be sure.

This is a new error that I have not seen.

Do you have Plex Media Server installed? If so, is it from Amahi and when did you install it?

There was an issue with conflicts with these two apps. We repackaged Plex Media Server RPM on our own instead of using the source to correct the problem.

The /lib/libavcodec.so appears to be the clue here. Not sure what it belongs to, but have to done a OS update recently? If not, might want to do so.

I do not have that file on my HDA and I have the DLNA app installed. So makes me think it's installed by something else and interfering with minidlna.

[bigfoot65]

Further investigation shows that ffmpeg and minidlna both have depends on libavcodec.so.52 and libavcodec.so.54.

I am speculating that these may be different build versions and that is the cause of the issues. Looking for a work around now, which may be to downgrade minidlna.

I have filed a bug report, so monitor it for further progress.
https://bugs.amahi.org/issues/1327

UPDATE: Subsonic is one LIVE app that uses ffmpeg. I am looking to see if there are others, but a solution still eludes me. Downgrade did not work.

Have you installed the latest OS updates?

I did a test and with the latest OS updates, the minidlna.service starts and restarts without error.

[wyldeone]

How do i install the latest OS updates?

I did have Plex installed a month or two ago just to see how it worked as i have a LG smart TV, but i un-installed it.

just check /lib/libavcodec.so.54 file is there and present, though maybe Plex removed it.
