Can t switch off dlna

[thetisane]

Hi.I wan t to switch off minidlna to update the media list. but the button always remain on on position. Any idea ? thanks

Sounds like abnormal behaviour. Do you even get an error message? I'm noticing that the minidlna plugin suffers from a lot of bugs.

I have no error message. That is weird. And so it cant use it as a server because i cant see files on my storage.... Do you know an other dlna device for freenas ?

No I have the opposite problem. I can't turn miniDLNA on, on my freeNAS 9.2 for x86!!!

Same now... i delete it and reinstall it and now I cant switch it on, on my freeNAS 9.2 for x86 also

Plugins are expected te work for ZFS file systems, not for UFS. But even with ZFS I get this same error.

I have the same problem but got around it by clicking on Jails --> dlna_1, then go to the bottom icons, click on Stop and Start. Media list updated. I would really like to see dlna to update (or scan) the list after a new file is uploaded after some minutes as configured. Then I don't have to stop and start the service.

Try rechecking your media directory path.

Ok thanks for advice

I thought I have the DLNA set up correctly, my TV can see and play the video files. Only problem is I cannot start/stop DLNA from the GUI plugins and the auto rescan feature doesn't work. Not sure what you mean by rechecking the media directory path? Another question is: how do I find out the dlna user? I ran the ps -ef command but did not see the user. Pardon my limited UNIX knowledge!
