I'm trying to figure out why miniDLNA (1.0.25) is not showing all my mp4 files. I've tried different dlna viewers but with the same result.
I thought maybe it's a codec that's not included with minidlna and I did the following on a mp4 that does show in miniDLNA and one that does not and I get the same information:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

')
But the two files show the same results.
I also checked my permissions on each file and they all have the same permissions and the same owner and group.
These files are stored on a USB drive that is connected directory to the RPi.
I've been trying to figure out the log_level syntax in the minidlna.log file to see if I can see why it's not showing these mp4 files but I have yet to figure out the syntax of log_level.
Any thoughts on what else I could try to check to see why this is happening?
