SSH to edit minidlna.confg
I'm having issues with my readynas duo v1 streaming over dlna.
To make it show on the ps3 i have to stop and restart the readydlna service.
I think I've found the solution here: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=22&t=55895&p=316546
but requires ssh access to edit a file. I've never done this before and was hoping someone could talk me through a few things:
- how to install Enable Root SSH
- how to access and edit minidlna.confg
I know what I'm doing (more or less) with windows, but never played with command line Linux stuff before. any help would be gratefully received.

- Ok, looks like installing the shh addon is easy.
But once I've done that I still need help with accessing and editing the minidlna.confg file - Use PuTTy (free Windows program), login as 'root', then use vi (google for MAN page which explains how to use it) to edit the config file

i installed ssh addon and gained access... then got a bit stuck! haha.
anyway - i figured i could do it an easier way. i backed up the config files for the services, edited the file, then restored my "backup".
all works now on both ps3 and xbox - they detect the nas instantly. i set the notify period to 5 seconds. it was on 900 before! the file says the default is 30, but when i set it to 30 i still felt it took to long for the nas to show up. - hmm, how did you find the config files for the services to back them up?
