I am looking for a dlna server, which should run on a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND and shows a stream with a Samsung plasma TV. The stream is from a TP-Link IP-camera. With my linux-pc I could get work DLNA only with mediatomb the Samsung tv, but I have read that mediatomb is experimental with openwrt.

In my experience minidlna works well with many kinds of AV equipment. It has no transcoding, though.

Hi!

You can find the mediatomb package in my repository.
You can set this repo in your opkg.conf:

src/gz vargalex_v1.1.1_beta3 http://users.atw.hu/vargalex/trunk/ar71xx/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

I use minidlna without problem. Luci even has a control page for it.

vargalex, thanks. Till now I am not familiar with repos and openwrt.

cat opkg.conf 
src/gz packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

Do I have to add your lines to my /etc/opkg.conf at the end?

Are you experienced with mediatomb.conf and Samsung? Should a mediatomb.conf of my linux-system work with openwrt? At the moment my mediatomb-server on Ubuntu works a little bit only.

Could anyone help me please. I don't understand how repositories work with openwrt. With ubuntu I simply add another file in /etc/apt/sources.list.d

Waht do I have to do to install mediatomb?

Do I have completely change /etc/opkg.conf and replace it with the code vargalex mentioned? If so, what have I to do then before I install mediatomb?

There is
http://users.atw.hu/vargalex/trunk/ar71 … _beta3.bin

I have installed openwrt-ar71xx-tl-wr1043nd-v1-squashfs-factory.bin already.

I prefer uShare as it is much smaller.
However you need to tell the router to 'update' the db everytime you make a change.

ushare doesn't work with Samsung TVs at least with the default configuration. But it works with my LG (and this doesn't help me). I think I have to try one dlna-server after another. I would be happy if anyone could explain me, how the repo-configuration works, as asked above.

Hi!

You must ony specify in your opkg.conf file a second source for my repository:

src/gz packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/packages
src/gz vargalex http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

Than you can make an opkg update (updates from both sources), and install the package!

Thanks for explaining. I still don't see mediatomb.

I would like to install on an external usb flashdrive with "opkg --dest" or similiar, if there is a special syntax.

Hi!

Sorry, I have copied your package source (both sources has the same URL in config). The right opkg.conf is:

src/gz packages http://downloads.openwrt.org/backfire/10.03.1/ar71xx/packages
src/gz vargalex http://users.atw.hu/vargalex/trunk/ar71xx/packages
dest root /
dest ram /tmp
lists_dir ext /var/opkg-lists
option overlay_root /overlay

For my mediatomb questions, I ask you to leave your comments at https://forum.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php … 47#p168847 (Howto setup mediatomb (with ip camera) please.

Recommendations for other dlna-servers which support ip-cameras are welcome here.

I installed mediatomb, but whet i try to run it i see error: Segmentation fault

I use TP-link 842nd with  OpenWrt Attitude Adjustment 12.09

Thanks

I think miniDlna is a stable alternative.
You can modify your opkg.conf to let it work with new  repository
