minidnla was not indexing all files

[gonk]

Problem 1
The minidnla server doesn't seem to look into subfolders in

• /home/storage/music
• /home/storage/pictures
• /home/storage/video

It's the same result no matter if I use a Playstation 3, Windows Media Player or the Android client SKifta - i see the videos, songs and pictures on the first lefel but no sub folders or media files in such sub folders.

Solution
After renaming the sub folders under /home/storage/pictures and /home/storage/video the media files are shown in the clients and presumably will that be true also for the music files but there are more files to process and curently the processes forked-daapd and minidnla are working hard on the B3.


Problem 2
In the case of pictures it is even stranger since the list presented by B3 includes 20 files that are not at all in the /home/storage/pictures folder. The files are reported as 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc. up to 10.jpg with two copies of each.

Doing the following

Code: Select all

find . -print | grep "/10.jpg"

I found those files located in /usr/share/bubba-album/samples/ but that folder is never referred to in my totally vanilla standard config in /etc/minidnla.conf

Code: Select all

# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic
port=8200

# network interface to bind to (this is the only interface that will serve files)
network_interface=br0

# set this to the directory you want scanned.
# * if have multiple directories, you can have multiple media_dir= lines
# * if you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you
#   can prepend the type, followed by a comma, to the directory:
#   + "A" for audio  (eg. media_dir=A,/home/jmaggard/Music)
#   + "V" for video  (eg. media_dir=V,/home/jmaggard/Videos)
#   + "P" for images (eg. media_dir=P,/home/jmaggard/Pictures)
media_dir=A,/home/storage/music
media_dir=V,/home/storage/video
media_dir=P,/home/storage/pictures

# set this if you want to customize the name that shows up on your clients
friendly_name=Excito DLNA Server

# set this if you would like to specify the directory where you want MiniDLNA to store its database and album art cache
#db_dir=/var/cache/minidlna

# set this if you would like to specify the directory where you want MiniDLNA to store its log file
#log_dir=/var/log

# this should be a list of file names to check for when searching for album art
# note: names should be delimited with a forward slash ("/")
album_art_names=Cover.jpg/cover.jpg/AlbumArtSmall.jpg/albumartsmall.jpg/AlbumArt.jpg/albumart.jpg/Album.jpg/album.jpg/Folder.jpg/folder.jpg/
Thumb.jpg/thumb.jpg

# set this to no to disable inotify monitoring to automatically discover new files
# note: the default is yes
inotify=yes

# set this to yes to enable support for streaming .jpg and .mp3 files to a TiVo supporting HMO
enable_tivo=no

# set this to strictly adhere to DLNA standards.
# * This will allow server-side downscaling of very large JPEG images,
#   which may hurt JPEG serving performance on (at least) Sony DLNA products.
strict_dlna=no

# default presentation url is http address on port 80
presentation_url=http://excito.com

# notify interval in seconds. default is 895 seconds.
notify_interval=900

# serial and model number the daemon will report to clients
# in its XML description
serial=31337
model_number=1

That you're Using serial=31337 is fun and geeky to see but the problem persists.

Anyone having aclue?
