Update minidlna samsung patch to 1.0.19

Postby ohplugapps » Thu May 19, 2011 11:18 pm

Hi,

There is supposedly a new samsung patch for minidlna 1.0.19, and I'm hoping it'll fix an issue I'm experiencing with seeing music folders instead of video folders when I'm trying to browse for videos on my SamSung blu ray player. Would it be possible to update the samsung minidlna package in the repo?

Patch is here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/download ... id=3148380

More info is here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph ... id=1121518

Thanks so much (for this and for all the great work so far)

I have done what you asked, it was not easy as cvs has moved on and patch no longer works, so I created a new 1.0.19 samsung version

Always backup /etc/minidlna.conf first, switching between types of minidlna will overwrite the file
Files are here-
http://myplugbox.com/minidlna-samsung/
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '/etc/rc.d/minidlna stop
pacman -Uf http://myplugbox.com/minidlna-samsung/minidlna-samsung-1.0.19-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz
now restore YOUR minidlna.conf file
/etc/rc.d/minidlna start')
I don't think I had an issue like you reported, but then I don't use it for music

Thanks! Alas, the patch didn't fix my issue after all. The patch looked like it included the fix, but I guess I was mistaken. Everything works fine for my Samsung tv but I can't watch videos with my Samsung Blu Ray player.

Thanks anyways. Maybe one day I'll pull down the source and try to play around with it myself.

I have a samsung be-c8500 player, and this and older version works fine.
Could this be a conf file issue?

I don't think it's a conf issue since it works fine with my Samsung C650 tv, but on my Samsung BD-C6500 blu ray player when I try to view my Videos folders, it displays the Music view instead.

User bagobones mentions the same problem on date 2011-02-20 04:41:57 UTC in the minidlna patch comments:

I put the files here http://myplugbox.com/minidlna-samsung6500/
I guess this is just for 6500 player only?????
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'pacman -Uf http://myplugbox.com/minidlna-samsung6500/minidlna-samsung6500-1.0.19-1-arm.pkg.tar.xz')
Don't know if your TV will like it, I haven't tried this.
From what I read, your model of player can't be updated? Is that right?

Don't forget, stop minidlna before upgrade, and delete db files (for me it's /var/cache/minidlna)

omg it works! On both my tv and blu ray player! The only weirdness I saw was when I started minidlna up, it said "samsung_external_mta_files: command not found" but that doesn't matter to me since I always had that disabled anyways. Thank you so much for this!

Did you see an update for the player lately? On mine it removed sorting on dlna which caused freezing

Didn't want to start a new thread about the same topic. My Samsung BD-C6900 player is almost the same as yours BD-C6500 model. Are you still using the patched MiniDLNA 1.0.19 ? Is it possible to integrate the patch into current MiniDLNA 1.0.25 ? As I understand, it adds audio track and subtitles selection, BD chapters, content sorting and other features that are not working on Samsung devices with miniDLNA.

I know, the patch may require some update before integration. Btw, where the patched version stores .mta files usually added to the disk by Samsung AllShare - in miniDLNA DB or also on disk? I'd do it myself, but unfortunately not a programmer. Every Samsung smart TV or BD player owner using the Plugs for media streaming will appreciate this. :)
