ReadyDLNA stuck scanning files have debug installed

I highly recommend that if you are not familiar with using ssh stay away from it and try to install the new addon I posted above if that still does not work then try ssh.

ssh will not show up as a addon in the addon pages.

To ssh into you box you need a ssh program most use putty. Google putty it is easy to download.
After you install it and run it fill out the appropriate information:

Host name: loacl ip address of nas ( you can use the external ip but that involves setting up your router to port forward and if you are not managing a farm of nas or clients the local will do, it also opens up a host of security issues.

port: 22
connection type: ssh

Your user id will be: root
Your password will be: what ever your admin password is at the current time you installed ssh.

Good luck be careful on what you type, it is also case sensitive too.

You will also need an SSH client

Putty is a good free client to use for SSH

for whatever reason, minidlna is rebuilding my entire database. i have no idea why. i see that in the logs. something about a version mismatch. before i use ssh, i'll just let it run overnight and see if it finishes rebuilding.

thanks

i installed the debug. does it create a log file?

If running the debug addon there should be more verbose logging in the log file. It's one of the logs in the zip file downloaded via Status > Logs > Download all logs in Frontview.

Don't think it does....you're supposed to watch the output go by and it will tell you which files it's having a problem with....it will basically stop there

there are many log files, i looked in upnp-av.log, but i'm not seeing verbose results. where would i watch the output go by?

You've found the log file to look at. You can re-download the logs to get an update or if you have shell access use that to read the log file.

I probably would use 1.0.19.3 rather than the debug add-on personally as the debug add-on is fairly old now.

i'm using 1.0.19.3. the scan never ends. i appears it's recreating the database, although i don't know why. i imagine that would take a bit, but it's been hours. frustrating.

Are you running RAIDiator 4.1.7? If not, please update to 4.1.7 then install 1.0.19.3 again and see if the scan works.
