RN102 6.8.1 DLNA issues

Question

Hello,I have lately been having problems with the DLNA. I use the RN to store all my videos and watch them through my Samsung TV USING DLNA. I think all started after upgrading to 6.8.1. My setup is the same for years and I notished the issue after the upgrade. Now when I’m watching a video it will stop and the TV will through an error message “check your network connection” rendering impossible to watch videos. I tried restarting my router but with no lack. I also tried viewing a video from my mobile device and it will freeze. I will try to upgrade to the latest fw and check if the problem persists. Can you point the location for logs related to DLNA? There might be something there regarding the disconnects.Thx in advance

Download your logs using&nbsp; "System: Logs: Download Logs" using the GUI or use Raidar then open the zip file and open "upnp-av.log" to look for clues.

Hi, The main error log that is printed constantly is

Oct 18 00:34:46 big-show-nas minidlnad[2129]: process.c:91: warn: Exceeded max connections [50], not forking

and first occurrence is after upgrade to 6.8.1.

I could change

max_connections

in

/etc/minidlna.conf.local

but i cant understand why so many connections open.

I performed a reboot on the RN and now it seems is fixed. I assume that the open connections are closed.

Hello, My issues continue. I&nbsp;updated to 6.9.0, and restarted the RN. After all that, I&nbsp;don't get the error message any more, to check my network, but while I'm watching a movie, it will cut off abruptly. I checked the the upnp logs and there is nothing, not a single record of the incidents. Today i did the following test, installed Kodi in my laptop and watched a movie. Nothing happened. I wired my TV to the router, put a movie on and after three minutes boom. After these tests can i safely assume that the MiniDLNA in RN&nbsp;doesn't have any issues or my router&nbsp;doesn't cause any issues and is&nbsp;something with my Samsung TV that is causing it?

Hello, issue seems to be solved. Don’t ask me how. Probably the restarts fixed the connections problem and I believe the later problems are connected with the specific file I was trying to play.
