Shrimpkin

Does anyone know if the maintainer has any plans to accept such pull request so that this becomes a feature of MiniDLNA? No idea. ReadyMedia is developed for ReadyNAS devices. There already seems to be a competing media server that supports transcoding available for ReadyNAS - Plex. Check out the sandbox: https://www.netgear.com/landing/readynas-sandbox.aspx

I speak for Shrimpkin. I wonder how would you add packet analyzer between router and client on home network? The internet is a great source of information. Mentioned solution is still better than no solution at all. My children aged 6 and 8 can definitelly hack it. My wife neither. A simple app could be created that would allow a technically inept person to bypass security.

minidlna has no way of remuxing video streams. You might look into the transcoding patch to see if it will fit your needs. https://sourceforge.net/p/minidlna/patches/32/?page=7&limit=25#e514

V2 is for git. Use the git version or use the first patch in OP for v1.2.1.

My previous patch was based on some experimental code I was working on. Importing miniupnp's code would of brought in updated code and features like ipv6. I gave up on it since it would result in more forked code than I was willing to maintain. OP issue does not affect me. My guess it doesn't affect ReadyNAS devices either. Here's some code, improving cybershadow's hack. diff --git a/minidlna.c b/minidlna.c index 5efcd27..5d5df9d 100644 --- a/minidlna.c +++ b/minidlna.c @@ -131,7 +131,21 @@ OpenAndConfHTTPSocket(unsigned...

I removed "ProtectHome=on" from the default systemd configuration. This should not be on by default!!!!!! Your distro's forum is your best option to try to change the default.

Why else do you introduce a parameter for the network-interface in the config file ....? If you really want to know where the network_interface option comes from, compare minidlna and miniupnp code. the user's hints are considered more of a burden than to accept them as a positive suggestion. Most suggestions are just 'thinly veiled' demands. My suggestion, implement it yourself and apply downstream. Project owner may or may not address this issue. I am not a maintainer. I apply my patches locally....
