RN102 6.8.1 DLNA issues
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 ...
Download your logs using "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 updated to 6.9.0, and restarted the RN. After all that, I 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 doesn't have any issues or my router doesn't cause any issues and is 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.
