  1. Hi all,

     

    I have installed minidlna and I encounter some problems. I have a larger movie library sorted in directories and after scanning:

     

    - some of the movies do not show up at all
    - some show up as empty entries with no name at all

    - one directory with movies is shown completely empty

     

    I assume that this happens because of failures during scanning of the media meta  data. I think that the minidlna Server does not handle all errors when try the get the metadata of a file by falling back to use the filename for display as the last option.

    Is the project currently under development? Looks like the last updates are some time ago...

    Does anybody have similar problems?

  2. I would definetly also want mutliple arrays. That would give the ultimate felxibility to organize the storage of the server.

    Every array with its own parity disk(s) would be an independet fault tolerance unit. Without speed and securtiy degration, if in another array a drive fails and the array needs to be reconstructed.

    It would be possible to spread the risk over more disks when the data is split by mutliple arrays.

    Statistically, the over all reliability gets lower and lower, the more drives you add to a single array with its max. 2 parity disks. With multiple arrays, this could be prohibited.
