rt-ac87u DLNA/SAMBA problem on latest 380.63_2

[airtrack]

I connect my external hdd with 87u the problem is on my LG TV UH615 can't see rt-ac87u router (ext hdd) but can see the other dlna (PC, Laptop)

On PC, Laptops its working properly and detect ac87u ext hdd

but on LG TV and ps4 cannot see ac87u ext hdd but can see dlna and samba on pc and laptop

i have to restart router so both tv and ps4 can see ac87u ext hdd after using it for a while the icon seems to disappear again (both ps4 and tv) and i have to restart router every time for using dlna/samba on tv and ps4

any idea how to fix it?

Thanks, and sorry for the bad english

any help?

telnet/ssh to the router and enter the following to see if it helps

echo 0 > /sys/class/net/br0/bridge/multicast_snooping

if it works, you can add it to the init-start script to make it permanent.

I was having samba troubles a long time ago and I decided to simply restart the service once a day (in my case, at 3:55am, by creating /jffs/scripts/services-start to contain the following):

#!/bin/sh

sleep 5
# restart samba at 3:55am daily
cru a samba "55 3 * * * service restart_samba"

Maybe that would help.....

Yours seems to be an isolated Samba problem.
If the smb restart works, then this is a good working solution for you.

Have you had a look at the log files Samba creates for clues?
/var/
- log.nmbd
- log.smbd

The log file /var/log.samba is per default set to a log level of 0, so no entries in that:
- log.samba

But you can enable it with:
Create the file /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf
Add these entries to it:

#!/bin/sh

CONFIG=$1
source /usr/sbin/helper.sh

pc_replace "log level = 0" "log level = 3" $CONFIG

Make the file executable:

chmod a+rx /jffs/scripts/*

Make sure it has the correct unix EOL:

dos2unix /jffs/scripts/smb.postconf

Then click 'Apply' in the WebUI in 'Network Place (Samba)', this restarts the necessary services and applies the change.
If you open up /etc/smb.conf it will show:
log level = 3

Then do some tests and check the log files for errors for your TV device.

Increasing the log level does not magically solve the problem?
I wonder what the heck these programmers were thinking when they added that option.

But maybe you could use that fck up to your advantage and look at the files it creates.

 

[airtrack]

yes, right now im using universal media server on my pc and add ac87u as a file source which is stupid because i had to run my pc 24/7 or reset the router when i need to use it without pc.

I am lost.
