DLNA/SAMBA server?

[john6969]

I just bough the minix7 and I am very happy with it performance.. Currently running Stock firmware since I am not sure if all features are working on hte sllingshot.

I would like to turn this into a dlna/samba server so I can stream torrent video throughout my house AND via REMOTE..
Can someone recommed a app that works great on the lan and wan.

I would also like to setup torrent rss feeds to automatic download. which client is the best/

I'm using "Samba Filesharing For Android" as a Samba server on my X7. I have all my media on a 1TB USB HDD and share it through Ethernet with this app.

Install the latest dev version (130413). This version allows you to use a custom smb.conf file if you enable the "Don't overwrite smb.conf" option. Here's the conf file I'm using:

[global]
    interfaces = eth0
    bind interfaces only = yes
    workgroup = WORKGROUP
    server string = SambaFS
    netbios name = Minix
    remote announce = 255.255.255.255
    encrypt passwords = yes
    load printers = no
    printcap name = /dev/null
    disable spoolss = yes
    deadtime = 5
    delete readonly = yes
    nt acl support = no
    inherit permissions = yes
    local master = no
    unix extensions = yes
    security = user
    guest account = nobody
    map to guest = Bad User
    socket options = SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384
[Media]
    comment = MINIX X7 USB HDD
    path = /mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0/(1)
    read only = no
    writable = yes
    guest ok = yes
    force user = root
    map readonly = permissions

For DLNA/UPnP I suggest checking BubbleUPnP.

I installed it but loooks like I need root.. I did not put any custom Roms on yet..becuase I read one of the usb ports doesn't work when slingshot rom is installed

Yes, all Samba servers need root.

Yes, all Samba servers need root.

Actually this is not exactly true, you need root to run a Samba server on stardard tcp/udb ports, but if you connect to the Samba server from an Linux Client (or a Mac, but I don't tested it) you can use ports above 1024 and run it without root permissions. You cannot connect to a Samba server running on non stardard port from Windows, so take that into account.


I use Servers Ultimate Pro (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ersultimatepro), and it works very well, with some minor problems, and it let you run almost all the servers (more than 60) without root on high ports, and if you root your device you can run them in the standard ports. It also have DynamicDNS client and support UPNP port forwarding to redirect the used ports on the router automatically.
The same developer have free apps for most of the individual servers, with some limitations (the free Samba Server app only support the configuration of 3 shares, and a single Dyndns client host)


I'm running a SSH server, a OpenVPN server, a Samba server, and a FTP Server without much problem on my rooted T-R42 with the paid version of the app.

You can root your device without installing a custom rom. Use this tool http://blog.geekbuying.com/index.php.../#.UuaJZzfNhrR
I used it on my T-R42 and my Pipo M8 Pro, and it works OK.
