Hi at all!
Now to the Problem, I've installed Arch on my Pogoplug and want to use it as a Minidlna/Samba/WEBDav server. Samba is working fine and the WEBDav server need more time for me for parctice.
But Minidlna, it drives me crazy. The server is obviously started correct:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'systemctl status minidlna -l
minidlna.service - minidlna server
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/minidlna.service; enabled)
Active: active (running) since Thu 1970-01-01 01:00:32 CET; 44 years 1 months ago
Process: 112 ExecStart=/usr/bin/minidlnad -P /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
Main PID: 230 (minidlnad)
CGroup: /system.slice/minidlna.service
└─230 /usr/bin/minidlnad -P /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid
Jan 01 01:00:32 pogoplug systemd[1]: PID file /run/minidlna/minidlna.pid not readable (yet?) after start.
Jan 01 01:00:32 pogoplug systemd[1]: Started minidlna server.
')
Checking the log file leads to:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'cat /var/log/minidlna.log | grep fatal

(I have no idea what they mean...)
Thats my minidlna.service:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[Unit]

WantedBy=multi-user.target')
and the minidlna.conf:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '# port for HTTP (descriptions, SOAP, media transfer) traffic

The most confusing fact is, that the server status page at http://ipblah:8200 is reachable and shows the correct values of the files in the database. Further, if I stop and start the server maually, all is working fine.
Hope someone can help.
Kind regards,
Jan.
