Struggle with minidlna

[ilemur]

Just installed minidlna and i'm getting the permission errors. Not sure where to dig

The config

# cat /usr/local/etc/minidlna.conf
port=8200
user=root
network_interface=vmx0
media_dir=V,/istorage/storage/Movies

# ls -la /istorage/storage
drwxrwxrwx    2 root    wheel    6  2 марта 12:05 Movies

And the log

[2022/03/13 19:52:50] minidlna.c:1134: warn: Starting MiniDLNA version 1.3.0.
[2022/03/13 19:52:50] monitor_kqueue.c:226: error: open(/istorage/storage/Movies) [Permission denied]
[2022/03/13 19:52:50] minidlna.c:1182: warn: HTTP listening on port 8200

chmod -R 777 /istorage/storage/Movies
service minidlna restart

make sure you have r-x on parent components of Movies

 

[SirDice]

chmod -R 777 /istorage/storage/Movies

Don't chmod 777 everything. It's never the proper solution.

 

[covacat]

chmod -R 777 / && echo welcome to $(bc -l -e "r(l($(sysctl -n vm.max_kernel_address))/l(2),0)") bit dos
/joke

I agree but what are the options? This looks strange

#ps -aux
dlna 37794 0,0 0,3 96636 75900 - Is 13:14 0:00,01 /usr/local/sbin/minidlnad -P /var/run/minidlna/minidlna.pid -u dlna -f /usr/local/etc/minidlna.conf

Here are the permissions i've just tried
drwxr-xr-x 4 root wheel 4 3 янв. 2018 istorage

drwxrw-rw- 13 myuser wheel 13 18 марта 13:13 storage

drwxrwxrwx 4 dlna wheel 4 18 марта 13:13 Media

drwxrwxrwx 2 dlna wheel 6 2 марта 12:05 Movies

And then in the log

[2022/03/18 13:16:52] monitor_kqueue.c:226: error: open(/istorage/storage/Media/Movies) [Permission denied]

 

[covacat]

chmod a+x storage

Check in "top" about minidlna on which user it is running. If user "dlna" then you must change the ownership of the video folder (chown).
