[SOLVED] DLNA does not list video\images

[musiclistmk2]

Moode works great for my purpose as an audio player.

I am trying to get the DLNA to also support video & image files. They get listed as 0. What could be the reason. How can I get DLNA show the video or images as well?

If you mean the DLNA server in moOde, then edit /etc/minidlna.conf, you will see this:

Code:

# If you want to restrict a media_dir to a specific content type, you can
# prepend the directory name with a letter representing the type (A, P or V),
# followed by a comma, as so:
#   * "A" for audio    (eg. media_dir=A,/var/lib/minidlna/music)
#   * "P" for pictures (eg. media_dir=P,/var/lib/minidlna/pictures)
#   * "V" for video    (eg. media_dir=V,/var/lib/minidlna/videos)
#   * "PV" for pictures and video (eg. media_dir=PV,/var/lib/minidlna/digital_camera)
media_dir=A,/var/lib/mpd/music

I've not tried it, so I don't know if it causes issues elsewhere in moOde, but you should be able to add pictures and video so they can be seen on other DLNA clients.

Thank you!
I added these lines, and rebuilding DLNA (please see attachment). It still only fills the audio files only. Video files and Image files are 0. I was checking via :8200.

I used the path by looking at smb.conf file

I am a newbie with SSH or Linux. May be I gave the wrong path?

You appear to have seagate/seagate in your path chack if that is right.  Try

Code:

ls /media/seagate

That will give you a list of things at that location, I expect you'll see Photos and Movies etc. at that level.

I restarted and rebuilt the DLNA server and left it running & it seems to work.

The path seems to be seagate/seagate    

It is working great. Thank you!!

Brilliant. Glad it's working.
