hi there,

I have Seagate goFlex home with miniDLNA v1.0.17 preinstalled on it. I have samsung 40c750 which has some compatibility issues with miniDLNA 1.0.17 (mkv, missing subtitles, etc…)
.
I looked around for a guide how to update miniDLNA, I found this guide: http://www.openstora.com/wiki/index.php?title=MiniDLNA_How-To_(with_guide_to_updating)
I managed to update the miniDLNA to v1.0.18 with the help of this guide. But some options are still missing and those were covered with miniDLNA v1.0.20
.
I followed your commands, but "make" command doesn't work in my NAS on puTTY. Do you have a suggestion, can you share your compiled miniDLNA v1.0.20?…

Thanks for the reply Zulgar,

I tried to follow your guide but "apt-get" and "make" commands doesn't work on my Seagate GoFlexHome. These files are missing.
.
Is there any suggestion from your side?…

@tsgulen: This site and forum deal with the My Book, so I think sites and forums dedicated to Seagate's products (and Linux newbies) might be able to assist you better.
