Where is minidlna package for Ubuntu 14.04

[drpaneas]

Hi there,

I want to install the mini-dlna
link: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MiniDLNA

but the:

drpaneas@ubuntupc:~$ sudo apt-get install minidlna
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package minidlna

doesn't do the job.

I did a quick search into the repos and...

drpaneas@ubuntupc:~$ sudo apt-cache search dlna

it doesn't seem to be a dlna version of Ubuntu 14.04 so far. Do we know when will be available ?
At the Launchpad website the status seems to be "Deleted" ( chech this out: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/trusty/.../1.0.24+dfsg-1 )

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Danke,

Hi I submitted a bug report for this one since in fact there is no practical workaround at the time. Please check in and mark that it also affects you - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...a/+bug/1309651

Here is a temporary fix. Please note that the package installation sequence is important:

Also remember that you will have to remove those packages after MiniDLNA is returned on the repo.

Hi Clickbg,


thanks a lot, you´re the hero! For my complete home media streaming I fully rely on MiniDLNA and I was terrified after I couldn´t find my MiniDLNA server after the upgrade to Lubuntu 14.04. The temp fix you provided works also for my i386 platform; I just replaced the string 'amd64' with 'i386' in all lines and it´s back up and running now just like before in 13.10.

As you suggested, I flagged your launchpad bug report that the bug also affects my and like to encourage other affected users to please do the same.

Cheers,

Hello,

i've tried to install it also, but one package was missing:

sudo dpkg -i minidlna_1.0.21+dfsg-1ubuntu1_i386.deb
Selecting previously unselected package minidlna.
(Reading database ... 91587 files and directories currently installed.)

after install libid3tag0 then i was able to install minidlna.

my version:

lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Release:        14.04
Codename:       trusty

thanks for the install procedure

I had the same problem. Everyone in my family and all the TVs in my house connect to my Ubuntu server for DLNA video. I love minidlna! How frustrating. Thankfully my server is a VM, and I took a snapshot just before I upgraded to 14.04. I just now reverted to the old snapshot. I'll just keep using Ubuntu 13 until they fix this problem. I would rather just do that than mess with a workaround. I'll definitely keep following this thread to find out when it's added to the 14.04 repos.

Thanks for the workaround, Clickbg.

This issue is really disappointing for such a high profile distribution, IMHO. I also use DLNA to stream media around the network - under Quantal, I used ps3mediaserver which doesn't work under Trusty because ffmpeg has been deprecated. And now I find minidlna, which I've also used in the past, doesn't yet have a Trusty version.

I tried tvmobili, but it's a licensed product and the cost of a license isn't reaslistic (again, IMHO). So, when I want to stream media. I'm booting Quantal for the time being.

[johnaaronrose]

I've just done a clean install of Trusty 64 bit & also no minidlna. I've previously tried MediaTomb & it's far too complex for what I want to do: I want to play iPlayer .flv files downloaded by my iRecorder (Gambas GUI app) using get_iplayer. I've also subscribed to the Launchpad bug. Anybody know when Canonical are likely to fix this problem?

[drpaneas]

Eventually, I installed Plex and mini-dlna (thanks to the direct link for the deb packages)

I really recommend you to give Plex a try. It's an endeavour worthwhile.
here is a guide I wrote: https://forums.plex.tv/index.php/top...04-to-nexus-7/ into their forums

Thanks for the workaround. I had to complete one more step: installing libid3tag0.

Perhaps you'll want to keep an eye on the open bug report for this issue, located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...a/+bug/1309651

I've also created a PPA for 14.04 containing a fresh version of minidlna (thanks to work already maintained by Benoît Knecht), because I also heavily rely on MiniDLNA for TV viewing but didn't want to install older packages

To install:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:djart/minidlna
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install minidlna
