Title: Mediatomb or Twonky?
Post by: shabuboy on February 27, 2012, 04:45:21 PM: Hello,

Just wondering if anyone has any preference or recommendations for mentioned UPnP software available for the DNS-320.

:)

You are right Albert! Thank you.

Funny thing, Uli's procedure does not mention $$. But then, the link has not been updated lately.

Works like a charm on my device and a LG TV (subtitles and whatnot). The downside of using Debian Squeeze is that your network/FTP shares will disappear every time your device restarts. Me - I can live with that :)

Like to know before I dive in.

Thanks!

Post by: baltzatu on March 03, 2012, 10:46:15 PM: I mean all shares defined in Management - Account Management - Network Shares (network and FTP), including Volume_1 (I only have one disk installed). As I said, it doesn't bother me too much (being a home user and having an UPS), but, if you use it as a file/FTP server and you have a lot of shares, it might be unpleasant (restoring saved settings doesn't work). Your defined users/groups are not affected.

Something similar happened when I had FFP installed (at reboot, only Volume_1 share remained untouched). Maybe it's only my device... I really don't know (didn't had another one available to verify).

You're welcome. Anytime :)

Hi, baltzatu!
Did you have some problems installing miniDLNA? When i try to run it with "service minidlna start
" i get: "Starting minidlna: minidlna/usr/sbin/minidlna: error while loading shared libraries: libexif.so.12: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
failed!"
