minidlna problem

[sloppy]

Hi

Just installed archlinuxarm and minidlna to pogoplug v3.... everything worked fine

Then switched the usb ports of the linux partition and external hdd and it stopped working....

any ideas?

EDIT: my bad.... everything working well now... guess it was rescanning media or something

Hey, did you have to name the folders under the media directory to make dlna work?

I don't know why, but I have to name the directories as
/storage/shared/media/[tv]
/storage/shared/media/[movies]
/storage/shared/media/[anime]
/storage/shared/media/[.....]

My /etc/minidlna.conf has this:
media_dir=V,/storage/shared/media

I am able to play video only if I name the directories like that. If I rename the directories without the bracket, it will show the directory, but not show any files inside.

it would be useful if you pasted yout minidlna.conf setup here...

try putting / after the folder name

for example: media_dir=V,/storage/shared/media/

reboot and give it time to rebuild the index
